Jennifer and Traolach were married in The Honan Chapel in the grounds of UCC in Cork. We used to beautiful grounds and buildings on the campus as a backdrop for our photographs and then went on to the wonderful Fernhill House Hotel for the reception.
Michelle and Colm were married in Barryroe Church in beautiful West Cork and following their ceremony, we went to Dunworley beach for photographs. Their reception was held in Fernhill House Hotel, and we stopped off in Clonakilty to take advantage of the fantastic photo opportunities available in the town.
Noreen and Jason were married in beautiful Ballydehob, West Cork in June. These photographs were taken on the Warren Beach in Rosscarbery on the way to their reception in the Celtic Ross Hotel.

I help people who aren’t used to being photographed to relax in front of the camera, and this produces very natural looking images.
Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Limerick and Tipperary.
No.
Definitely yes. I think it is really important to meet within a month of your wedding day to work out a timeline for the day and to go over any important “must have” photographs.
Not at all, a lot of my clients are living abroad; it’s very easy to discuss all the details over a Zoom call.

Off-peak in less than 6 weeks, during peak periods 8 – 10 weeks, but you do get a Sneak Peek of over 100 edited images within 48 hours of your wedding.

Once you are happy, I will send the album off to be printed and you will have it around 1 month later.
Hi Dermot,
I just wanted to say that our wedding album arrived today and it is amazing!
I have already shown a few people and they have said it is the best album they’ve ever seen!
Thank you for all your hard work!
Sian & Mark
It’s funny how a small idea can take on a life of it’s own. When I suggested to the organizers of the Clonakilty Bicycle Festival that I would like to do a series of classic portraits of bicycle users, little did we know that we were creating a monster. I set up a backdrop in Spillers Lane in Clonakilty on a Friday morning to coincide with the country market, and used Facebook and word of mouth to invite bike owners along to have their portrait taken. The weather was on our side and over a 2 hour period I had well over 40 people turn up.
By the time I finished the shoot I knew that I had something special. I really boosted the colour at the processing stage and cropped the images to a square format and put them up on Facebook. I have never had a reaction to a set of images to match the positive feedback I got over the next few days. My stats were off the scale, the press were interested and a local gallery offered me an exhibition for the period of the festival if I could get the prints done in time. I did, and here is the set of images I showed. 2 weeks later, I am still getting a reaction on Facebook.
