Ireland Elopement Photographer - Specialising in Wild Atlantic Way Elopements

Hi there - I'm Michelle

Thanks so much for clicking on my listing.

Are you ready to have a magical Elopement experience? Then you’re in luck… I love working with non-traditional couples who are passionate about capturing experiences over tangible things, and putting intention behind every action. As an elopement photographer, I understand the importance of capturing the Bride and Groom’s unique relationship through my lens, to portray back to them the outward joy they share with each other. With my extensive wedding experience, I’m not only there to take photos but to help make your day stress-free, allowing you to focus on being fully present during this amazing moment in your life. From the moment we first connect, all the way until your photos are delivered, I've got you covered :-)

I am a true local, living within all that the west of Ireland has to offer, giving me the know-all of everywhere that is photographically scenic for your amazing elopement photos. I know you have loads of questions, so hit me with them and chances are after over 10 yrs of wedding/elopement experience, I will have the answers ;-)

THIS IS MY THING

Looking forward to hearing from you :-)

Photo locations I frequent and live nearby: Cliffs of Moher, Newtown Castle, Doolin, Dromoland Castle, Doonagore Castle, the Burren and the fabulous Aran Islands - to name a few ;-)

    Michelle is an absolute professional and captured all the best moments of our wedding in Doolin, Co. Clare. She has clearly walked every inch of the west coast of Ireland, and knew all the best spots to get the really magical outdoor photos. We also had “family and friends” photos at the venue. Michelle knew exactly what she was doing, giving clear instructions to everyone, and making it all run so smoothly. Finally, she is a rock of calm on what is a hectic day. We knew we were in safe hands. This allowed us to be ourselves and have the most amazing photos!

    Michelle captured our most important day perfectly! My husband and I came from Florida for our elopement and she made us so comfortable. It was effortless and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. The pictures were the highest of quality and absolutely irreplaceable. If your thinking of capturing your special day in Ireland you must use Michelle!

    Michelle is a talented artist and an amazing professional! She was incredibly organized and thoughtful of our wedding day timeline and how to get the most out of the time we had with her. She worked closely with the other vendors (officiant, car service, pub reception) to keep the day moving as it should and to capture the most special and unique moments. Although I met her for the first time on my wedding day if felt like I had known her for years. She was funny and kind in a way that made it easy and natural to have her there every step of the way. We received our wedding gallery even faster than was promised and the images are to die for. We often get remarks that they look out of a magazine and I have to agree! Just look at her portfolio, the work speaks for itself!

    Better than we dreamed! Michelle managed to capture the magnificent scenery and beautiful moments of our day despite the inclement weather and crazy wind. Neither of us is very photogenic but she gave us plenty of direction to get the shots we wanted. Highly professional and very prepared (plenty of hair pins!) I highly recommend!

    Unbelievable. We were able to share our most precious moments surrounded by the most beautiful scenery known to man. And Michelle captured every detail in her photographs. We were able to share these amazing pictures with our family and the beauty was not lost. Michelle was very accommodating with our odd ball requests but her being a professional knew exactly what to do that would capture the best moments. Love her!
