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..

It’s unlikely...
So, went back to Markree Castle again – this time the weather was great and the sun shone all day. So, I was able to get outside the castle and use it as a great background for the photographs.
The light streaming through the windows also helped to light up the chapel. The white chair covers...
Continuing the Wedding Venue theme (of places I have I have photographed in) next off is Barberstown Castle at Straffan, Co. Kildare. A very interesting location, with great staff (so much so that the bride asked for some photos of them to be included in her album).
The main reception area, with a view from...
One of the last old shopfronts around the centre of Dublin. Set up in the 1890s and still going.
Apart from selling yeast (surprise), it’s main business is selling wedding cake and icing equipment (as you can see from the window).
Here’s my list of the top 10 things you need to consider when choosing a Wedding Photographer – you know, things like “how much does a wedding photographer cost ?”. Quite a long post, but I hope you will find it useful.
Yes, I know some of them are obvious, but it might help to...
