I just got a delivery of wedding albums from some hard working elves so I’m on my way to visit some happy newlyweds. I’ll write a little review of 2012 soon, but for now I just want to wish you a happy Christmas filled with fun, family and friends. 🙂
Wow. I just got word that the panel of judges in the SWPP (Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers) have nominated me for Photographer of the Year for my photograph of Grand Central on Thanksgiving. The SWPP is a worldwide association of photographers so to be chosen from among all of the great photographs taken…
Back in June I had an opportunity to photograph Limerick band Parliament Square in the recording studio while they were working on their new material. It was a great couple of hours, with an excellent band in a very cool location. Because they were busy recording I was mostly in ninja mode capturing some behind…
This time last year I was lucky enough to be in New York with my wife, tucking into some deep fried turkey, sweet potatoes and other delights expertly prepared by my sister-in-law and her family. It was a lovely experience. In the days leading up to thanksgiving we spent a few days exploring New York…
Last week I blogged about the release of the debut album from Socks in the Frying Pan which I photographed and designed. It was a great night with a huge turnout and hopefully it’s the start of something amazing for the guys. This week it’s the turn of the Purple Pencil, a book of poetry…

Olivia & Colm’s finished wedding album just arrived so I figured it was about time I showcased some of their wedding photographs! When I had my first meeting with Olivia & Colm to discuss their wedding day I knew it was going to be fabulous. They had planned to get married in Darrara Church in…
Vivan and Kelvin are a really sweet couple. They travelled from Kentucky to renew their vows in Bunratty during a once in a lifetime trip around Ireland. Their story was one of the most romantic stories of any couple I’ve met this year (and I’ve heard some great stories!). Vivian had been sick and Kelvin…
In the last post I mentioned I had a few days of down time in Kerry. It was great to recharge the batteries and get away from the office. Taking time out is a brilliant creativity boost and I finally got around to trying something that I had wanted to do for a while. Below…
Last week I took a few days of (long overdue!) holidays and went to Kerry with my wife for some rest and recuperation. We mostly stayed in Killarney but we did venture out on a day trip to the Dingle Peninsula too. It was Arthur’s day so we got to see some great live music…
