Hello, you big dirty ride ya!

Thanks a million for reaching out! I'm swimming in lots of gorgeous enquiries, but I'll respond to your email within 24 hours.

Most of my couples book 12–24 months in advance, so if you're tempted, please don’t dither, dates go fast (especially bank holidays)!

Please note that 2026 is fully booked for weekend sessions and 2027 is 90% booked. But please reach out for availability and pricing, and I'll be more than happy to accommodate you!

I photograph weddings and elopements across Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, Clare, and beyond for couples who want natural, honest photography with zero awkward posing.

If you think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to hear from you.

I am no longer taking bookings of any kind for 2026.

Due to the high volume of enquiries, I do not have a cancellation list.
