I take candid wedding & elopement photography for couples, who want to kick back and enjoy the party.


It's really important for me to have a relationship with my clients ahead of their wedding. Therefore as part of my client experience, I take on a limited number of weddings per year, which means more time for you.


By the time your wedding comes around, it feels like I'm photographing my besties! Why?


Because genuine connection is at the heart of what I do!

Looking for the very best wedding photographers in Killarney, Kenmare and Dingle lads?


Well, You’re in the right place. I live just down the road from some of the top wedding venues in Killarney and Kenmare, so I know these spots like the back of my hand (and have the rainproof camera gear to prove it).


Killarney is hands-down my favourite town in Ireland, maybe even the world. It's got everything: epic mountain views, lakes that shimmer like something out of a fairytale, mossy green woodlands, and the kind of wild beauty that makes your heart go all funny.


And Kenmare? When can I move in. Think flower boxes, warm pubs with great music, and some of the most stylish boutique hotels you’ll ever come across.


Whether you’re saying your vows in Killarney National Park, popping open bubbly in a lakeside manor, or going big with a full weekend wedding in a five-star hotel, this little corner of County Kerry gives you magic at every turn and the kind of photos you’ll be showing your grandkids, who in turn will show their grandkids.


And it’s not just the scenery and the really great roads. The people here are pure sound and hardworking. Hotels, venues, hair and makeup teams, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure you feel like absolute royalty (without any of the awkwardness).


If you're planning a wedding and looking for a Killarney wedding photographer who genuinely loves this place and knows where the best light, views, and secret spots are.........I'd love to chat.
