INSPIRATION 1 FROM FRANCE | TILTED

Inspiration comes from everywhere! If anyone is out there reading this today, this is the first day of my monthly inspiration posts. I watched my favourite UK chat show host last night and discovered French chanteuse Christine and the Queens! Everything about this is so refreshing...the sound, the dancing, her attitude...I love it! I am totally inspired by her moves and style! Check back in a month for more inspiration. http://www.christineandthequeens.com/us/ https://youtu.be/BfZmFoEkSSk?t=9

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.

KAI & CHRISTINA | CHEROKEE CASTLE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Kai & Christina's engagement session at Cherokee Ranch and Castle near Denver Colorado was amazing! I love the history and setting of this castle in Colorado, and it is a great location for weddings. Christina is originally from Jakarta Indonesia (a place I'd love to go to!) and wore a beautiful traditional Indonesian dress for part of the session. I is a modern twist of the kebaya dress, which is a traditional dress from Java. She met Kai who is…

LISA O’DWYER COLORADO & WORLDWIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | SOCIAL MEDIA

Hello lovelies! This year is already starting out to be extremely busy, which is fantastic! But it means that I am not able to update my journal as much as I'd like to. I will focus on having one blog post per week, but please forgive me if I miss a week or two. It is easier to keep my social media updated with recent work, tips, and inspiration. I aim to keep it mostly my photography commissions, but you…

2014 YEAR IN REVIEW | FINE ART WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

2014 was quite a wonderful year! I photographed some beautiful weddings in three countries…Ireland, Italy, and Colorado USA!

I have met so wonderful people here in Colorado too and am truly grateful for all of the opportunities they have given me! My business wouldn't be a success without AMAZING fun clients, and…

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…

IRELAND FAMILY SESSION | ANNE, BRIAN, & LILY

This family shoot is close to my heart! I photographed Anne and Brian's wedding a couple of years ago at The Strand Hotel in Limerick. When I was back in Ireland to photograph a wedding in early October, Anne said she'd love for me to capture some photographs of her new baby. The day was very rainy and grey, but Anne's house is full of light and love! I loved meeting baby Lily and capturing this very fleeting moment in…

Frances originally planned to have her photographs taken at the park at Inistioge in the Walled Garden and Monkey Puzzle Tree Walk…but it POURED rain all day. Thankfully, the most perfect glass house is in this park and we had beautiful light…
