10 DAY HONEYMOON TOUR IN IRELAND | SNIPPET & INK

Do you know anyone who will be traveling to Ireland? I wrote a 10 Day Tour for Snippet & Ink based on some of my favourite places (I lived there for 10 years and my husband and children were born there). This tour can be extended to 2 weeks to include more of Ireland. Ideally, take 3-4 weeks in Ireland as there is so much to see and do! Enjoy! http://snippetandink.com/ten-day-honeymoon-in-ireland/

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.

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…

CASTLE DURROW WEDDING | ANDREW & DEIRDRE | IRELAND

In Ireland, there is a tradition of putting out the Child of Prague the night before the wedding as a good luck charm for good weather. Deirdre's family put one out at Castle Durrow before their wedding on October 4th and it worked its magic! The day before it poured rain and the day after it poured rain, but Saturday the 4th of October the sun shone and it was glorious! This wedding was absolutely perfect and I am so…

REEDS, FENS, ST BRIGID | IRELAND FINE ART LANDSCAPES | LISA O’DWYER PHOTOGRAPHY

You know how your life brings up reoccurring themes and interests? I hope I can explain this succinctly. When you are young, you discover what your interests are and these carry with you through life. As a child and young woman, I was always interested in nature and history. I loved the feeling of nature being vast and mysterious and overwhelming. As I studied art and history in school, I became interested in the history of places… particularly natural places.…

WINTER WEDDINGS | IRELAND | DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

At this time last year, I was living in Ireland, and had photographed 7 weddings from December 1-January 19th. Winter weddings are incredibly popular in Ireland. Many couples in Ireland have family or friends who have emigrated to other countries. And they all come home for Christmas! So with unpredictable weather all year round, even in summer, a winter wedding makes sense. Mary and Ricardo's wedding was nearly one year ago today. It was at the beautiful historic Castle Durrow…

HEIRLOOMS OF ART, HISTORY, & STYLE | 19TH C TINTYPES & THE IMPORTANCE OF PRINTED PHOTOGRAPHS | FILM PHOTOGRAPHER COLORADO

My father gave me a gift of some photographic antiques and amongst the lot were some 19th century tintypes. He had found these at local yard-sales in Pennsylvania. As I photographed them with my iPhone, I thought about how they had survived around 130 years and you could still still the peoples' faces and enjoy them as heirlooms. Can we say the same thing about our digital photography living on disks, computer hard drives, social media, and our phones? Will…

NEVE ALBUMS 100 FAVORITE PHOTOGRAPHS OF 2013 | CONTEST WINNER | CHURCH AT ROCK OF DUNAMASE IRELAND

I don't enter too many contests often as the fees are often high and sometimes I feel contests are a business in itself. I love NEVE albums, and am delighted to offer them to my clients this year. So when I heard they were running a contest for a special album of 100 favorite images of 2013 to be presented by NEVE, I knew exactly which image I wanted to enter. I'm excited announce that my image of the 17th…
