Portrait and Wedding Photographer – Dublin and Ireland. All things photographic !
Hi, my name is Frank Courtney – the owner of this blog. My aim is to complement my main Wedding & Portrait Photography site and show other styles of photography, as well as discussing things of general photographic interest. I’m a full-time professional photographer but apart from my paid work, I take lots of other photos just for my own interest. I’ll also show some of those photos here.
In the future, I will also start posting some preview wedding pictures of the Bride & Groom - with their permission, of course.
Have a look around, and add some comments to the photos/posts..

The first two are from his house in Portligat. He had a bit of an obsession...
Took this photo recently of a shop window. I actually don’t know if all of these were meant to go on a Wedding Cake, but there’s something for everyone there (with two more windows full as well). I saw these in Barcelona, but for an Irish supplier, have a look at http://www.caketoppersireland.com
