General & Destination Wedding FAQs

Do you photograph weddings outside Ireland?
Absolutely. I’m based in Dublin but photograph weddings and elopements across Europe — especially in France, Italy, and Ireland. I often work with couples traveling from the US and other parts of Europe to celebrate their destination wedding abroad.

What is a destination wedding photographer?
A destination wedding photographer travels with you to capture your wedding wherever you choose to celebrate — whether it’s a French château, an Italian villa near Venice, or an Irish castle by the sea.

Do you help with travel arrangements or logistics?
While I don’t book travel or venues, I’m happy to share advice, local knowledge, and trusted vendor recommendations in Ireland, France, and Italy.

How far in advance should we book you for a destination wedding?
For international weddings, most couples book 12–18 months in advance to secure dates, especially during peak summer months in Europe.

Coverage, Packages & Pricing

What’s included in your wedding photography packages?
Each collection includes photography coverage, an online gallery with high-resolution images, and options for fine art albums, additional sessions, or full-day storytelling coverage.

Do you offer elopement or small wedding packages?
Yes — I love photographing intimate destination weddings and elopements. Whether it’s two people on the Cliffs of Moher or a private ceremony in Venice, I create custom collections to fit your vision.

Do you offer all-inclusive destination wedding packages?
While I focus on photography, I collaborate with local planners and vendors who can help design your full all-inclusive experience across Europe.

Do you charge travel fees?
Travel within Ireland is included. For weddings in France, Italy, or other European destinations, travel fees are customized and clearly detailed in your quote.

Style & Experience

How would you describe your photography style?
My work blends fine art elegance with modern editorial storytelling, inspired by light, emotion, and timeless European aesthetics. I describe it as “Timeless Love with a Modern Luxury French Touch.”

1Are you comfortable photographing both traditional and non-traditional weddings?
Yes — whether you’re planning a classic church ceremony or an intimate elopement abroad, I capture your story authentically and artistically.

How do you make couples feel comfortable in front of the camera?
I focus on real emotions and natural moments, giving gentle direction when needed. Most couples tell me it feels relaxed and effortless — just like spending the day together.
