About Me
I'm a full time professional photographer, based in Dun Laoghaire, Co. Dublin. Originally I come from Trim in Co. Meath. You can find some of my photos from there on this site, and the other sites referenced on the 'Links' page.
You know - it's funny, but I only have 2 photos from my parent's wedding. That was quite common in those days. Times have now changed, but I often wish I had more photos to show me how their day went, and how the rest of my extended family enjoyed the event.
These days, wedding Photographers vary in style, and I would describe mine as contemporary and natural. Yes, I take the usual posed and formal photographs. But as well as these, I take a large number of unposed and spontaneous images which really tell the story of the wedding day - the proportion of these are influenced by the preferences of the Bride & Groom. The best photographs are often of those unique and unexpected moments which will be remembered forever.
A few more details
I've been taking photographs for many years, and am continually updating my skills and knowledge. I've attended numerous courses and workshops in various photographic techniques like portraiture, wedding photography and photoshop. I'll continue to do this as long as I'm taking photographs - there's always something new to learn.
Like most good photographers, I believe that the most important factor in the taking of a good photograph is the person behind the camera and their skills - not the equipment itself.
Last but not least - the boring but important stuff. I have professional insurance - often required to work in locations like hotels and heritage properties - and multiple sets of backup equipment. For those who are interested, I use professional Canon digital SLR camera equipment, and Bowens lighting.
