Laura

I am a photographer living in Cobh, Co. Cork, Ireland. Born and raised by the sea and country side, I was fortunate enough to grow up amidst spectacular scenery. That and with an innate artistic view to everything in life, I developed a passion for photography. I originally studied Interior Architecture and Lighting Design in Cork Institute of Technology. Before the recession in 2008, which seems like a life time ago, I was an Interior Lighting Designer for domestic, commercial and retail projects. You may have seen some of my work in many of Corks night life spots, restaurants or at the award winning lighting design at Rocky Island crematorium. At that time, I did not think that the skills I gained over the years creating, designing and illuminating architectural spaces would be the first step in following the light to photography. I truly enjoy photographing and capturing the emotion people display and the connection they have with each other. The best photographs I have shot are when people forget the camera is in the room. The best way I find in achieving that is a balance between making people feel at ease by connecting with them and by fading into the background of the event. Benny

I reckon I was born 5 years too early to appreciate when I was growing up how technology could be used to allow people enjoy photography and share their photos with friends and family at ease, almost instantly. None the less in my youth I was lucky enough to get my hands on a Nokia N95, a camera phone with a Flash!, this was rare in 2007, it was 3 years before an IPhone had a camera flash. “Who made that camera and who gave it to that man?!” cried my best friend as everything and everywhere was now in reach form my pocket. The Nokia N95 travelled with me from Dublin to London, Singapore, Japan, New Zealand, Los Angles to somehow living on the island of Cobh County Cork. Always capturing moments and always sharing photos. I am constantly snapping, recording and being creative, documenting my and the people around me, memories. Weddings were therefore a natural fit for using my photography skills and knowledge of technology. Allowing you to have access to all of your photos, allowing you to share your photos in formats you prefer, in secure methods. You can really tell when someone has put their heart and their soul into expressing their love, in front of their world on their wedding day. It is hard not to watch and be in awe, record it in your brain (and not your camera) and let emotions grab you but as wedding photographers we love capturing those moments. Those emotions fly into the camera lens, photographing them is a great experience. That’s not to say those who are more conservative in their own approach are any less of an experience, it is their own way, and that comes across, when you do it you own way and the joy shines through, in all light. We want to help you have your special day how you envisioned it. Call Us

We would love to meet you so please do give us a call and tell us your plans for your special day, Give us a call 0877003791.

Eimear and Stephen celebrated their family wedding in August, with Amelia and Senan right at the heart of the day.

The morning began with preparations at the Marborough Hotel, where Christine O’Sullivan worked her magic on hair and Charlotte O’Mahony took care of makeup. There were some heartfelt first looks before everyone headed to Frankfield Church, where Father Ray Riordon led the ceremony. Éimear’s brother Robbie provided the music, and the couple shared their own personal vows.

A special shout out to their friend Joe, who provided the car and chauffeured them throughout the day. Back at the Maryborough, they enjoyed photographs with family and friends, admired a gorgeous cake by Trace of Cakes, and welcomed guests to an outdoor drinks reception, with a sax player setting the mood.

The celebrations continued with speeches, plenty of dancing and a full dance floor to finish things off.

Congratulations again, Eimear and Stephen. It was an absolute pleasure capturing your beautiful family wedding.

Denise and Paul’s August wedding at the beautiful Fernhill House Hotel was mighty craic from start to finish! We had photographed Paul’s sister wedding in Fernhill and it was great to catch up with their fun loving family.

The girls had the most chilled but upbeat morning, with Cathy Anne on hair, Lizzie Desmond on makeup and plenty of laughs & good vibes from the get go, while the lads got suited, headed to the bar and made their way to the ceremony.

Before saying “I do”, Denise and Paul chose to have a first look in the gardens at Fernhill, and it was absolutely picture perfect!

Damien Maloney looked after the ceremony, with Niamh Murphy serenading everyone as Denise and Paul said their vows. With gorgeous weather on their side, we made the most of the gardens for family photos, bridal party photos and some beautiful portraits of the newlyweds.

Then it was time to bring the energy with Pat Fitz keeping the party going.

A day packed with love, laughter and the best people.

Congratulations Denise & Paul is was pleasure to capture photo and video 🤍

When the day starts with dumbbells, guns and lorries, you know you’re in for a bit of craic and Niamh and Colin’s wedding certainly didn’t disappoint.

The day started with the lads getting up to a bit fun with very clean lorry’s, a stroll with some guns and plenty of messing about. Standard start to the day 😅

The girls got ready at Niamh’s mum’s house, with Helena K looking after hair and makeup, while Una Barry took care of the flowers.

After the vows with Father Corcoran, we hopped into the cars and headed off for photos at one of the most incredible wedding locations we’ve visited in a while, Castle Oliver.

And what a spot it was, a pink castle straight out of a dream. We were lucky enough to get access to the grounds their photos and could have stayed there all day 🫶

From there, it was on to Woodlands for the drinks reception, cake cutting, speeches and Free B**r packing the dance floor.

Niamh and Colin, it was an absolute pleasure to be part of your day. Thanks for all the craic and Congratulations 🫶

Sarah and Ali brought the perfect amount of fun, music and good vibes to the Woodlands Hotel for their wedding.

The day kicked off with morning prep in the bridal suite, with Enchanted Flowers working their magic on the bouquets and ceremony decor, before seamlessly switching roles and becoming a guest for the day too.

Janice O’Callaghan looked after the ceremony, with Aoife and Shane Hennessy providing the music and there was plenty going on, handfasting, ring warming, candle lighting, poems, wishes and a few very funny moments along the way.

We took advantage of the Woodlands grounds for some photos before heading back to join everyone for the drinks reception, followed by a very upbeat entrance, cake cutting and speeches that definitely provided a few memorable moments.

Then came the sparkler fun after dinner, before Re-Jig took over and filled the dance floor for the rest of the night.

An absolute pleasure to photograph from start to finish, with plenty of laughs and a brilliant crowd to spend the day with.

Congratulations again, Sarah and Ali 🤍

Sheena and Darragh celebrated their wedding surrounded by friends and family, starting the day at home before heading to Sheena’s parish church.

Fiona and Maria looked after hair and makeup, Katie Hennessy created the florals and Canon O’Shea looked after the vows. A beautiful ceremony, with Sheena’s father walking her up the aisle while her brother Michael sang for her entrance and Lisa Finn taking care of the rest of the ceremony music.

After a few family photos outside the church, we took a spin over to Springfield Hall for a few more photos and lots of time with guests during the drinks reception. Cake by Tara at Broken Spoons displayed in the banqueting room and Pauline’s famous Porter cake was served to the guests in the drinks reception.

Then Free B**r took over, the dance floor filled up and everyone got stuck into the celebrations.

An absolute pleasure from start to finish. Congratulations, Sheena and Darragh.

Sadie & Mark’s wedding day, from Fossa Church to Ballygarry Estate and there was plenty going on along the way!

The lads morning had wh***ey, rally cars and a quick stop at Doyle’s Pub for some photos, while the girls got glammed up with Aisling from Polka Dot Dreaming on hair and Annette O’Brien on makeup. Shades of Bloom took care of the florals, while Pristine Classics Occasions looked after the transport, with none other than the main man Con behind the wheel.

They said their I dos at Fossa Church with Father Pat O’Donnell, with Fadú looking after the music.

Then it was over to Killarney Golf Club for bridal party and couple photos, a bit of ch*****ne spraying and plenty of craic, before heading to Ballygarry Estate for family photos and a beautiful drinks reception out in the gardens. Emmet Surgeu kept the guests entertained while everyone made the most of the good weather.

There were funny speeches and Dickie Donnelly making an appearance with his Garda routine, which went down a treat, before Truly Diverse packed the dance floor.

A brilliant day from start to finish and an absolute pleasure to photograph.

Congratulations again, Sadie & Mark! 🥂📸

Aoife & John travelled from Galway to West Cork with their closest friends and family for a very chilled-out wedding day at the Inchydoney Hotel & Spa and as luck would have it, they picked one of the nicest days of the year for it. ☀️

The morning was nice and relaxed, with Maria Coleman on makeup and Upstyle Ju**ie on hair, while Aoife’s sister Clara worked her magic creating the bouquets and ceremony décor.

They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony with Damien Maloney leading things and Cary’s Ann on the harp. Their two boys, Rían and Cillian, were very much part of the day too, taking part in a sand-pouring ceremony before we headed out onto the Inchydoney landscape for some photos.

Back at the drinks reception, Cary’s Ann swapped the harp for the piano, HM Cakes supplied the cake and Auntie Katie was on full-time boy-duty for the day. There were some very funny speeches, plenty of craic and then Mixtape got the evening going with the first dance and a few tunes.

A really relaxed, family-focused day and an absolute pleasure to photograph.

Congratulations Aoife & John 🤍

Claire and Jeremiah’s Kerry wedding had it all, beautiful weather, plenty of laughs and one very special guest, Bailey the dog.

We kicked things off with morning preparations, capturing both photo and video throughout the day. Claire got ready at her parents’ house, with Aspire Salon from Tralee looking after the hair, Maeve Carey on makeup, Maura’s Cottage looking after the bouquets and buttonholes while Bloom’s Florist beautifully decorated the church.

Over at Jeremiah’s home place, the lads were getting ready, with a quick stop at their newly built home for some photos, a pop into the pub en route to the church and somehow still enough time for a little kick around outside Fossa Church before the guests arrived.

Horans Vintage Car Hire were on chauffeur duties for the day, getting everyone where they needed to be in style, while Bailey had her very own dog sitter from Salty Dogs (highly recommend 🐾) keeping her looked after throughout the day.

Then it was down to beautiful Fossa Church, where Fr. Sean Haniffin looked after the vows, Ali Woodford provided the live music and we used Fossa Church’s beautiful backdrop for some photos with Bailey and the family.

From there, we headed to Killarney Golf Club with the bridal party and the newlyweds for some fun, relaxed photos before making our way to the Heights Hotel.

Ali Woodford was back entertaining the guests, there were big group photos, split pants, first dance guessing game, Cakes by Siobhan and some extremely funny speeches.

And then, the one and only Frog the Dog packed the dance floor.

Congratulations again to Claire and Jeremiah, and of course, Bailey the dog. What a day 🤍

A gorgeous July wedding filled with family, friends and plenty of craic.

From the morning prep right through to the dancing, we had the pleasure of capturing both photo and video for Julie & Barry and what a day it was!

The morning started with the lads getting ready together, while the girls got their glam on, hair by Laura Nugent and makeup by Portrait by Jessica.

Then it was off to the church, where Father Ronan chatted about Love Island 😂 and Linda Sloane Cusack provided the beautiful music. After greeting their guests, Julie & Ryan headed to Fernhill House in a family friend’s vintage Mercedes for some photos on the grounds.

Back at Fernhill, Arundo Trad brought the upbeat trad tunes to the drinks reception before everyone headed in for dinner, speeches, caked made by our talented bride, a sweetheart table for the newlyweds and every little detail covered, including a custom “Mrs Kelliher” bib for Julie. Got to keep that white dress gravy free 😂

Then The All-Moderns arrived and packed the dance floor!

Julie & Ryan, it was an absolute pleasure to capture your day. Congratulations to you both! 🤍

Sophie and Luke travelled home to Cork to celebrate their wedding with family and friends, with the whole day taking place at Garyvoe Hotel.

The morning got off to a lively start with Lynn O’Leary and Lizzy Desmond back for a second wedding in a row with us, taking care of hair and makeup. Juniper Rose brought the fresh flowers, while Wondrous Weddings transformed the ceremony room.

There was a beautiful reveal with Sophie and her dad, followed by a first look with Luke, family photos in the library, then off to Ballycotton Cliffs for bridal party and couple photos before the ceremony.

Caroline McCarthy from Spiritual Ceremonies led a ceremony packed with personal touches, including their own vows, sand pouring, a string quartet and plenty of involvement from their guests.

Getting the photos done before the ceremony meant they could actually enjoy a nice long drinks reception with everyone, before their entrance into the banqueting room for some very funny speeches, a beautiful first dance and a lively dance floor with the guests.

A brilliant day from start to finish and a pleasure to capture. Congratulations, Sophie and Luke 🤍
