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..

You might just remember that last year I posted a copy of the Niepoort Sásta wine label. Here it is again (worth a second look anyway) :
However, this year I have a bottle of the wine to go with the label :
I won’t be opening it until Wednesday, and will report back then ! However,...

Well, like everyone else, we’ve been having the same cold and snowy weather here in Dun Laoghaire.
Here are two photos taken in Crosthwaite Park on New Year’s Day – most of the snow had melted at this stage :
Happy Christmas everyone – hope to hear from you all in the New Year

Had a lovely day for the wedding of Barbara and Mark last Saturday. Despite the dire weather forecasts for various areas, we had a lovely bright Winter-sunny day. Mount Falcon is a lovely venue with wonderful grounds – including many fine trees, like the ones in this photo :
This was a genuine vintage Packard Presidential...
Just thought I’d post two quick pictures from a wedding yesterday. Donna & Jason got married in Mount Argus church and had their reception in the Round Room in the Mansion House in Dawson St. (with pre-reception drinks in Café en Seine). It was my first time to have a reception there, and I was...
Just as a change from wedding photography – I was at the DLR FOWC (Festival of World Cultures) last weekend. I didn’t have much free time during the weekend, so just managed a few quick photos. But I did manage to see Jane Birkin in the Pavilion theatre that night. I suppose the phrase ‘living...
I’d often heard of this church, but never been there before. It’s hidden away, just off Merchant’s Quay. I had a wedding there earlier in the week, and was really impressed by the size and light inside. Its real name is the “Church of the Immaculate Conception” but the more usual name comes from a...
I’m calling this a “pre-wedding” shoot, rather than the more usual “engagement shoot”, as it took place only a few days before the wedding itself. Originally, we had planned to get some photos in the castle on the wedding day, but there was another event on then. Eventually, we decided to do it...
