Destination Wedding Photographer in Canary Islands | Warm Lanzarote wedding in October
Destination Wedding Photographer | Warm Lanzarote wedding in October
Gerry and Elena got married on the Island of Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
They both have a very special connection to the Island as Gerry used to live here many years ago,
so it meant the world to them to get married in the place that brings back so many memories of days gone by.
To be part of anyone’s wedding day is a privilege but I have to say, to be flown out to Lanzarote
as a destination wedding photographer was a huge buzz for me, it's not everyday you get to wear shorts to a wedding.
Spending five days here was amazing, seeing the sandy beaches, the volcanic mountains and feeling that heat!
So you can imagine scouting the Island was pretty exciting. The day of the wedding was beautiful.
An outdoor ceremony with a view on the ocean. Great rock music performed by groom's brother and his band.
It was a huge surprise when Elena jumped up onto the drums and Gerry took lead Guitar.
I loved every day I spent there especially when you travel from cold and wet Ireland in October.
So I have to say I'm really looking forward to shooting a wedding in Portugal this Autumn.
If you are interested in getting married on an island, an elopement or an intimate wedding,
don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m looking forward travelling with you!

2016 Look Back | Weddings in Ireland - Rafal Borek
2016 Look Back ~ Wedding photography in Ireland
So now that 2016 is behind us, I want to reflect on what a fantastic year it was. I shot weddings in every part of Ireland,
discovered beautiful hidden gems and travelled abroad to shoot weddings also. I'm so thankful to all my couples for welcoming me into their homes
and trusting me to be a part of one of the biggest days of their lives. As everyone knows no two weddings are the same
and I learned something from each one I shot. I'll never forget the morning a 10 year old girl stopped me on the stairs before I started shooting and said
"I hope you will get some good shots and won't let us down." I thought perhaps she was joking, but no she was very serious. It was really hard not to laugh,
but actually she made a really good point. It reminded me how important it is what I do, not only for the bride and groom but also for their families.
Not only is it about the couple portraits but also about those unexpected moments that happen at every wedding
Here's to another exciting year ahead!
Martinstown House wedding | Kim and Barry | Garden Party
Martinstown House wedding.
I love when a couple choose to have an unplugged ceremony.
Guests are asked to turn off their mobile phones to be present
and enjoy every minute with the bride and groom.
I always find that this makes the ceremony more personal for everybody.
Kim and Barry got ready in Martinstown House,
so it was great to be able to shoot both of them getting ready that morning.
Martinstown House itself is a unique wedding venue
with beautiful interior with a marquee on the grounds.
"There are so many memorable moments from our wedding day;
sharing breakfast on the morning of the day itself, getting ready with my mam and bridesmaids,
my father’s face as I emerged from Martinstown House in my wedding dress
and sitting at the dinner table looking at all our friends and family enjoying one another’s company and the day itself."

Rustic Island wedding | Johanna and Michael | Inishturk Island
Being a wedding photographer in Ireland means shooting in beautiful castles,
historic houses and exploring wonderful countryside. But that's not all.
Sometimes it happens you jump on a boat to capture an island wedding.
Johanna and Michael travelled all the way from the UK to get married on Inishturk Island
in county Mayo, a place where Johanna grew up. It was a huge pleasure for me to join them for two days.
The sea was very choppy on the way to the island, thanks to my small Fuji camera
- which I don't usually use on weddings - I was able to shoot in these challenging conditions!
The ceremony was in a small church 20 meters away from the bride's house followed by
a marquee drinks reception all surrounded by the ocean, a beautiful landscape and views of Connemara.
I'm excited to share this island wedding with you,
Enjoy!
A wedding day.

Caroline and Paraic wedding in Gougane Barra and Barnabrow House
I had a pleasure to join Caroline and Paraic for two wonderful days.
I was pretty excited about this wedding from the first email I received
from Caroline. They got married in a small church in truly unique place
Gougane Barra - an ideal setting for intimate weddings - surrounded by
immediate families. On the second day, I travelled to Barnabrow House
where Caroline and Paraic celebrated their marriage with the family
and friends. It was such a relaxed and beautiful day filled with
tons of positive vibes. Some of the highlights below. Happy scrolling.
Day 1 - Gougane Barra ceremony
Day 2 - Barnabrow House reception
Temple House | Shirleen and Declan | Sligo wedding photography
Temple House really knows how to make every individual wedding shine on its own.
It’s one of those venues that is stunningly beautiful, yet completely unique all at once,
allowing couples to make their weddings "their own". Personal touches are key when it comes to decor,
and letting individual personalities shine through, and Temple House knows the potential they have,
which is just part of what makes it my favourite place in Sligo for weddings.
The day of Declan and Shirleen’s wedding was picture-perfect. It couldn’t have been written any better.
Even the weather cooperated with us that day, allowing the bride and groom to have their first dance outside,
against the backdrop of the castle ruins. It truly felt like a magical moment.
Not only is Temple House unique on its own, but Declan and Shirleen really knew how to make it ‘theirs’ for the day,
resulting in an absolutely beautiful and breathtaking event, from start to finish.
Relaxed Summer wedding at De Burgh Manor K & N | Irish wedding photography

"...My advice would be to do it your way. Don't get bogged down with traditions and others people's expectations.
Wear the dress you want to wear, have the decorations you want to have etc.
At the end of the day, your wedding is about celebrating the union of you and your partner with your closest friends and family."

This was my second time shooting in De Burg Manor, and I felt lucky to be back! In addition, this was also the second time
I was able to witness so much kindness and love blossoming from this location - the peaceful atmosphere there almost makes it feel
as though time itself is moving slower. Kate and Nick planned their Irish wedding from abroad, as they both live in Vancouver, Canada.
Organizing a wedding can be stressful on its own, but it can seem especially overwhelming from a different country!
Luckily, the couple had tons of support from family, which can really make all the difference in the world.
It was a true joy to see everything come together, and how so many people chipped in right away,
even in the early hours of the morning.
This day was about capturing the beautiful connection between all of the guests and families in this incredibly peaceful environment.
The entire ‘vibe’ of the day was relaxed and calm, which let the love surrounding everyone really come through even more.
Please, take a look at the beauty of the day for yourself, and you’ll surely see that this location is something special,
especially when the people filling it are full of so much happiness!
