Nicola & Pádraig, Engagement Shoot, Co.Leitrim The Wild Atlantic Way has been living up to it’s wild reputation lately…nothing but wind & rain, and more rain, and more rain…just look at the fields around Sligo, those aren’t new lakes!! So when you have an engagement shoot that can’t be rescheduled, my aim is to find…
Sarah & Glenn, Engagement Shoot, Co.Leitrim The brief week of warm spring like conditions at the end of February have long gone, we’re back to cold, wet, windy Ireland! And when it’s like that and I have an engagement shoot to do, I’m looking for one thing, cover and walls to block out some of…
Verity & John, Wedding, Tubbercurry to Carrick-on-Shannon 2019 begins here! Officially anyway, as Verity & John’s wedding was my first wedding of the season.
