My goal is to provide you with tailored and personalised, guidance to ensure you receive the full benefit of my 15+ years of experience in wedding photography. I have truly only found my true voice and perfect clients in the past 8-10 years so I’m hoping to accelerate that for you and save you a lot of time trying to find your perfect couples.

For those who are seeking that bit more and what a true hands-on experience, there’s an exclusive opportunity to join me on an actual wedding day shoot. This limited availability option allows you to apply everything you’ve learned in the one-on-one workshop to help you in capturing genuine moments in real-time with me. Here are the key areas we'll cover during the wedding day shoot, including but not limited to:

A REAL WEDDING WITH REAL PEOPLE. THIS WILL NOT BE A STYLED SHOOT.

This day is going to be incredibly valuable as you’ll gain from tips and techniques I’ll share with you throughout the day. You will be experiencing a full wedding from start to finish and hopefully you’ll be adding some great authentic shots to your portfolio. I want to be able to provide you with a true wedding day experience, not what might be classed as a typical workshop shoot with models.

Here are some additional details about this option:

Shadowing: You will be able to shadow and watch me at work all day. There will be no stress or expectation on you. You don't have to take pictures if you don't want to, but anything you take can be used for your own portfolio.

Inclusion in All Parts of the Day: You will be included in all parts of the day, including prep, ceremony, drinks reception, couple shoot, speeches, and dancing.

Dinner Provided: Dinner will be provided for you.

Review and Debrief: We will review the day during the meal, allowing for a thorough debrief and any questions you may have had throughout the day.

Post-Editing Support: You are free to contact me during your editing process for further help.

Requirements for the Wedding Day Shoot Option

Transportation: You will need your own transportation at least for the first part of the day; afterward, you can travel with me.

Camera Equipment: You will need your own camera equipment.

Workshop Details

Location: Provisionally, everything will take place at my home here in Kilkenny.

Hours: The workshop will run from 9 AM to 6 PM, with a break for lunch and finishing with dinner.

Amenities: There will be a constant supply of coffee, tea, and sweet treats to keep our concentration levels up as it’ll be a full-on day of learning. All of the above is complimentary.

Pricing Information

Early Bird Offer: €800 for the one-day, one-on-one workshop.

Wedding Day Shoot Add-On: An additional €500. This option is not available as a standalone and only as an add-on to the original workshop. It’s an incredible opportunity that’s just as valuable, if not more so.

I would LOVE to add value to you if I possibly can. If you’ve read all of the above and thought, “Nope, I’ve got all of that down already,” that’s totally cool. If I’m missing something obvious that I should have included, let me know. Or if there’s a specific part of your photography where you feel I can help, tell me, and we can tailor something just for you. Please ask any questions you may have—I’d love to hear from you.

If you are happy to go ahead, payment in full is due to book your place. Spaces for the year are limited and will be especially so for the full experience to join me on a wedding day shoot. If you'd like to reserve a spot, let me know and I'll send you through a booking contract, including available dates and how to prepare for the workshop. We will also work together to specify any key areas you'd like to particularly focus on.

Keep and eye on your inbox as I’ll be getting in touch to say thanks and to see if you have any questions surrounding the workshop.

I am really looking forward to working with you and helping you on your journey.

Thanks again so much. Your interest in this is really appreciated.
