Documenting your wedding day with the flow of the day will ensure your day is maximised. In the best manner. My style of working during a wedding is, I suppose, rather unorthodox. Or so I’ve been told. I just let it go. Let the day flow. I have always preferred to see what happens. It’s… Read More…
Weddings are back, kinda…!
Weddings are back! Kinda… and right now it is a tentative move back towards the industry working in a steady and functioning manner. For me it was more than six months away from any wedding work. And not like it’s going to be super busy, far from it. Weddings will be far and few between… Read More…
Documenting the Receiving Line at weddings
Documenting the receiving line at weddings is a huge part of what I like to do. At this point there’s a celebratory feel to the day as friends and family greet the newly weds. Quite often the bridal party will stop at the door, which I assume is traditional. And many of you will know… Read More…
Sarah & John’s Wedding at Ashley Park House
This was my first Ashley Park wedding day. And what a day it was. Caught during an absolutely intense heatwave. And you could certainly say that the weather was on this couple’s side. And simply ideal for their wedding ceremony to be held outside. But then again that summer was so good in this year… Read More…
No Weddings in a time of Covid
Well, there’s no weddings in a time of covid and at this stage sitting on my hands is absolutely fucking dull. Pardon my French. Plus I’m DIY shy, I mean I’m abslutely rubbish at it. So my better half, she looks after all that. But a good supervisor I am! Generally, by this stage in… Read More…

I always favor real and long lasting candid moments over the set up cliches. For me this “cake shot” idea sums everything I am completely against as a reportage wedding photographer. It conjures up… Read More…
Reportage Style Photography Portraits
With a reportage style photography, taking a short time out with the just married couple must fit with the overall body of work. For me there is no other way. What’s important is that the images reflect who you are as a couple. Not what I think you should be like as a standard knocked… Read More…
Observational Wedding Photography
Observational Wedding Photography. I suppose on the face of it, all photography is observational, clearly. But for those of my own ilk who document weddings in a photojournalistic sense, reportage wedding photography types, to be observational means to be broader in terms of bringing the overall story to life. It may not be enough to… Read More…
Cork wedding Photographer, Story Building.
I’m based as a Cork wedding photographer but you will certainly find me on the road most weekends, give the style of work it is demanded, but it is great to get the work out there. The most enjoyable aspect of wedding photography is that any given thing may happen. I have no idea what… Read More…
Wedding Story Book by Philip Bourke
Creating a wedding story book should always be the objective when the dust settles on your wedding day. It’s probably a habit with the majority of married couples on receiving their wedding pictures. They will simply download those pictures to their phone. Perhaps downloading and putting them on a USB (or several USB keys, which… Read More…
