HOCHZEITSGUIDE | CASTLE DURROW WEDDING FEATURE

One of my favorite weddings that I've photographed in Ireland was Deirdre and Andy's October 2014 wedding at Castle Durrow in Durrow County Laois. They are just the sweetest couple and have such amazing style…such eye candy for me to photograph and such a fun day for their guests! German fine art wedding blog Hochzeitsguide featured their colorful 1940s vintage vibe wedding today. Thank you Hochzeitsguide! http://www.hochzeitsguide.com/en/real-weddings/vintagefeeling/deirdre-und-andy-schlosshochzeit-mit-vintagecharme-von-lisa-o-dwyer

CARATS & CAKE FEATURE | CASTLE DURROW WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Deirdre and Andy's Castle Durrow Ireland wedding was featured on Carats & Cake today. This was one of the highlights of castle weddings that I have photographed in Ireland! I loved Deirdre's Old Hollywood vintage style! She wore a Jenny Packham dress, Pronovias Barcelona headpiece, and her makeup and hair was done in a 1940s starlet style. Check them out here on Carats & Cake Castle Durrow wedding feature.

TOP WEDDING DRESSES FROM REAL BRIDES | BHLDN | AMANDA WAKELY | JENNY PACKHAM

I know that the wedding dress is one of a bride's most important wedding decisions (next to the perfect photographer of course!). The style of dress says so much about your personality! These are some of my favorites from the past three years of REAL brides from weddings that I've photographed in Ireland, Italy, and Colorado. They are in no particular order, and there were so many that I didn't have room to include in one post. Looking forward to…

JOETTE & JUSTIN | ESTES PARK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER LISA O’DWYER

Dear readers, this is what it is all about. I have been given a great gift from the couples that commission me to photograph their wedding. I will record in my own unique style (developed over 9 years but infused with my life), the moment two individuals become a married a couple. It is a new entity deserving of passionate storytelling, setting the scene, elevating details to art, and recording the people who are a part of this new family…

OLD HOLLYWOOD STYLE GLAMOUR PORTRAITS - FINE-ART FILM PHOTOGRAPHY BY LISA O’DWYER

I am in love with Old Hollywood still photography... the poses, the costume and make-up, the lighting, and the look of film. I wanted to practice a little with lighting and B&W; film to recreate the look of a George Hurrell or Ruth photograph from the studios of the 30s and 40s. My friend was my lovely model for the afternoon. Isn't she stunning? Portraits captured in an Old Hollywood style and shot on beautiful traditional black & white film…

MISSION STATEMENT - WHY I DO WHAT I DO - WEDDING, BOUDOIR, GLAMOUR, PORTRAITS, FAMILIES, EDITORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Part of being a professional photographer is being a business person too. It's just not good enough to be able to properly expose film and know how to Photoshop. If I want to continue doing the job I love, I have to learn how to be a business person too. Recently I wrote down my mission statement or purpose of business: why I do what I do. If I don't know why I shoot weddings or other genre, then how…
