Creative and modern wedding and elopement photography for the wildly in love

HEY THERE!

I’m guessing you’re here because you’re planning your wedding or elopement and you want some beautiful photos of the day. Or maybe you’re not getting married but want some beautiful photos anyway. Either way, I’m your woman.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I’m Mairéad, a wedding and elopement photographer based in beautiful Donegal in the north-west of Ireland. I started my business in London, then moved to Dublin for a while before deciding on a different kind of life on the Wild Atlantic Way. I love both the city and the countryside, and this goes for weddings and elopements as well. I’m just as at home on top of a cliff or a mountain as I am wandering through the city, so however or wherever you want to celebrate your love, I am with you every step of the way.

Photography that captures who you are

My approach is very personal - it’s important to me to get to know you and what you want. This helps me ensure I’m shooting in a way that’s right for you.

Your day is for you, it’s not about ticking traditions off a list.

You want to marry your best friend and have the time of your life doing it.

If you’re looking for photography that’s as unique as you are, you’re in the right place. I want to help you have a day that’s personal and meaningful, and to create photographs that really reflect who you are as a couple.

Elopements

You’ve decided a big traditional wedding isn’t for you, and now you’re excited to plan an intimate and meaningful day for just the two of you, or with just your closest friends and family.

I’m a bit biased but I think there’s nowhere more magical to celebrate your commitment to one another than Ireland. So many beautiful locations and options, so many ways to have your day, a day that’s all about you and your love for one another.

Let’s plan your perfect elopement together

You don’t have to be getting married to deserve beautiful, creative portraits. Maybe you’ve decided marriage isn’t for you, maybe you’re celebrating an anniversary or a special visit to Ireland. Or maybe you just want some photos of the two of you together that aren’t selfies!

TREAT YOURSELF

What our couples say about us​

"Oh Mairead, I actually got tears in my eyes. They are perfect. You were absolutely amazing, such a lovely addition to the day. These pics are everything I could have asked for and more. You're amazing. Thank you so much!"
"Oh my god we are absolutely delighted with the photos they are so amazing! I've laughed and cried (again) looking at them! They just all look so fabulous. Thank you soooooo much!!”
"The photos are super Mairéad! We are so glad you were there on the day, so many beautiful moments you caught and all our friends and family relaxed and happy as their natural selves. Beautiful work.  So many favourites already! What a talent you have.   Thank you so much Mairéad, from both of us!"
"I absolutely love the photos - thank you, thank you! I've been looking at them again and again since you sent them and I love them more and more! You were a wonderful addition to our wedding day and weekend - you have just the right kind of personality for your job, so relaxed and friendly! Really, seriously, LOVE the photos! It was an absolute pleasure having you be part of our day!"
"We wanted to say a massive thank you for photographing our wedding! Photography was such a big priority for us so it felt like a big decision to make, but we always felt in such safe hands with you. The photos are absolutely wonderful (all our friends and family agree!) - you are such a talent!” 
"Brilliant from start to finish! Being a photographer myself, the photography on our wedding day was a top priority and Mairéad didn’t disappoint. The photos are so beautiful! Not only does Mairéad make beautiful images, she was a pleasure to have around. You’re welcome to come stay with us any time!"
"Mairéad was simply the loveliest photographer to work with from start to finish! We really wanted authentic and honest photography and we got that in bucketloads!”
"Thank you so much for all of your fantastic work. We love them! Your photographs have captured the day perfectly. You have been absolutely fantastic from from start to finish and I couldn’t imagine having anyone else spend the day with us!”
"Her attention to detail and symmetry is outstanding, you can really tell that she has a genuine interest in what she does, and we both really appreciated that. She has an amazing ability to really capture the most precious moments of a wedding without being intrusive."
"Her photos are not the typical wedding photos you might often see, they more so resemble a work of art."
"Mairéad captures so much more than a simple photo. Each photo is so full of life, it sweeps me back to the moment."
"Mairéad was such a pleasure to work with, I appreciated that she really took time to get to know us and our families. She has a great sense of adventure, and if you have an idea she will take it to the next level."
"We had a blast with Mairéad on our wedding day, I can’t recommend her enough!"
"We had so much fun looking through the photos (we are still going over them again and again and, if it’s possible, I think they are getting even better each time!) We are absolutely delighted with them, we love them so much."
"We wanted to say thank you so much for everything. You are so extremely talented and lovely and we had a great time with you on the day, we honestly could not have asked for more. You just “got” exactly what we wanted from the outset and you captured all the different parts of the day perfectly."
"As you know, I don’t love the camera so I was a bit nervous about the photography side of things but you put me completely at ease and it was actually a lovely experience."
"Everyone we’ve shown the photos to have all said they have never seen shots like them!"
"I can’t believe the range of shots that you managed to get - our only difficulty is going to be selecting our favourites."
"Perfect! If you have the chance to hire Mairéad and you don't take it, I pity you!"
