The Gearagh MacroomThe Gearagh is this really special place just a few kilometers from my home in Macroom. It’s not just a spot to take a stroll — it’s a peaceful haven that changes with the seasons. Everyone around here knows about it, and most of us have spent many a morning or evening walking along its paths, just soaking in the beauty.Macroom Castle SunsetThe Gearagh3.jpg6.jpg6.jpgFor me, it’s more than just a walking trail. It’s where I go to clear my head and snap some of my favorite photos. I often take my dogs with me, letting them enjoy the fresh air while I try to capture the magic of sunrise or sunset. The way the light hits the trees and reflects on the water — it’s like the scene is always shifting, and there’s always something new to see.The wildlife here is amazing. In spring, swans start nesting, preparing for their little ones, while Canadian geese fly in and make themselves at home for a few months. But they’re not the only residents. Hundreds of birds come and go throughout the year, making The Gearagh a must-visit if you’re into birdwatching.Macroom wild life photography
What I love most about The Gearagh, though, is how it just feels like a breath of fresh air — literally and figuratively. Whether you’re walking, thinking, or just sitting by the water, there’s this calm that settles in. It’s the kind of place that lets you take a break from everything, even if just for an hour or two.If you ever find yourself in Macroom, this hidden gem is well worth a visit. Whether it’s for a walk, a bit of wildlife spotting, or capturing the perfect sunset, The Gearagh has a way of leaving you feeling at peace.

    I’ve photographed weddings all across Munster — from candle-lit ceremonies in Gougane Barra Church to vibrant summer parties at Inish Beg Estate. I’ve worked in elegant venues like Ballyseede Castle, The Brehon Hotel Killarney, Maryborough House Hotel, and The Maritime Hotel Bantry, to scenic estates like Blackwater Castle, Fernhill House, and Fota Island Resort.

    I’ve also covered unforgettable wedding days at The Radisson Blu Little Island, Actons Hotel Kinsale, Garryvoe Hotel, Vienna Woods Hotel, Trident Hotel Kinsale, Charleville Park Hotel, The Kingsley Hotel Cork, and Springfort Hall.

    If you’re tying the knot in Clonakilty, Dingle, Kilkee, Adare, Kenmare, or along the Wild Atlantic Way — chances are, I’ve photographed there. Every venue and county has its own vibe, and I’ve learned how to adapt my style to suit the setting — whether it’s a grand ballroom, a coastal clifftop, or a rustic field in Tipperary.

    Wedding photography in Munster is not just about photos — it’s about capturing real moments, working with Irish weather (and craic), and making sure your story feels as authentic as your day. And I’ve done just that at venues like Dunraven Arms Hotel Adare, Ferrycarrig Hotel, Woodlands House Hotel, Ballygarry Estate, Parknasilla Resort, and Aghadoe Heights.

    No matter where your day takes place — I know how to find the light, the laugh, and the love in the middle of it all.

    Camera Shy? No Stress – This Is About You, Not the Pose

    I get it — being photographed can feel awkward. Most of the couples you see on my site said the same thing before their day. The difference? I don't just tell you to “act natural.” I help you feel it. From the first moment, it's about comfort, conversation, and connection. I guide gently, let moments unfold, and use real prompts instead of awkward poses. What you end up with are photographs full of laughter, emotion, and stillness — the kind that actually feels like you. If your main fear is looking stiff or fake, I promise you: you won't.
