It doesn’t get much newer than this! Today I had the wonderful pleasure of photographing a baby that was born just hours before. His Mum, Deb, is a doula and he was born at home in the early hours of this morning. When she rang me he hadn’t even had his first feed yet so I went around hoping to capture that. This is just a little taster, there are a few more over on my newborn blog.
I’m so grateful to Deb and Shaggy for allowing me to come and take these and share them here. I would love to do more of this kind of photography, in particular I’d love to photograph a birth so if you know of anyone who might be interested then please tell them to get in touch!

A pretty red dress and a fluffy cloud kind of day in Mount Usher. Well, you’d dance too right? A favourite from a recent family shoot in Ashford, Co. Wicklow:

It’s been a while coming but I’m so happy to show some of the photographs from the wedding I shot in New York this summer. I loved New York and I loved this wedding, it’s one of the highlights of my year and I still can’t believe I got to go all the way to New York to shoot a wedding. The bride and groom were married in the Lotos Club right beside Central Park and the bride and her bridesmaids all got ready in the bridal suite. The bride wore a gorgeous deep blue double dress with a rose and lavender bouquet:
The groom’s daughter and the bride’s nieces made up the bridal party and they were great fun, there was lots of laughs and gossip and buzz in the room while everyone got ready:
…and some fab shoes:
The bride rehearsed her vows to the girls and had everyone in tears including me behind the camera:
The ceremony was so simple and intimate and they incorporated traditions and readings that were very personal to them including the Jewish tradition of the breaking of the glass. A close friend of the bride and groom was ordained online just so she could officiate their wedding:
The ceremony was in the late afternoon and afterwards we had about 20 minutes to catch the sun before it set, with Central Park literally across the road we took a walk over there for a few photos:
While the guests mingled in the library I slipped in to the dining room to take some photos of the tables all laid out. I loved the books wrapped in ribbons and there were photos of their travels in Ireland on each table:
The library made me want to snuggle down in a big chair by the fire and read:
To the bride and groom: Thanks for letting me share these and thank you so much for inviting me to come over and capture your day. Your encouragement over the years has meant a lot and I can honestly say I wouldn’t be a photographer today if it wasn’t for a certain conversation down on Dublin’s Docklands about 3 years ago!

I was really tired by now and my card was getting full. I put my head down a bit and started to head for home clicking randomly as I walked.
There was so much more that I wanted to see, I’m definitely hooked now, I have to go back. But I was all clicked out and I still had a wedding to photograph!

This is what I loved so much about New York, that you just never knew what was going to be around the next bend. I walked a few streets west and started to head back uptown again. I heard some music and followed it down a street where I found myself in the middle of a Ukrainian festival. The colours and the dancing were amazing.

By now it was noon and getting pretty hot. I was glad to get to the leafy streets of Greenwich Village. I wandered through Washington Square Park and stayed for awhile to watch these guys doing some swing dancing:

I didn’t stay in Times Square for long, I turned south and headed back downtown. One thing that struck me is how much greenery there is in Manhattan, all in little pockets. The first oasis I found myself in was Bryant Park, the building you can see through the trees is the New York Public Library.
I continued south towards one touristy building that I was making an exception for by searching out. The Flat Iron Building has been on my “must-see” list for so very long that I just had to spend some time just staring at it.
