  • "AMAZING"

    OMG! From the moment I saw Johnny’s work I knew he was the perfect fit for us. He was so kind and professional from the start, excellent communication and flexibility. On the day itself, he took such amazing care of us, providing water and jackets, and amazing positivity and fun. We had great conversation and Johnny was such a huge reason why our day was special. Cannot recommend him enough.

    MOLLY + DIARMUID

  • "professional, sweet, funny, silly and SO talented"

    Honestly, don't hesitate. Johnny is professional, sweet, funny, silly and SO talented. We loved how he got the candids, the loved-up moments, the group shots AND also pulled us away so we could get stunning sunset photos. This guy knows exactly what he is doing and we are so grateful to him!

    JENNY + DAN

  • "AMAZING ADVENTURE"

    "incredibly"

    Johnny is so incredibly talented! We could not ask for a better person to capture our special day. His photographs just take your breath away. We have gotten so many compliments on how our photos look like something out of a fairy-tale. Johnny helped with the planning process and answered all my questions without hesitation. The day of our wedding he even helped me button my dress! We are forever thankful for Johnny and his talent!

Ireland Elopement FAQs

  • A hiking elopement is all about adventure—trekking to a stunning, off-the-beaten-path location to exchange your vows, away from the crowds. Whether it’s a mountain summit, a hidden waterfall, it’s just you, your partner, and the journey to an unforgettable moment.

  • Elopement photography captures Elopement photography is about capturing your love story in wild, meaningful places — from misty mountains to secret beaches. It’s storytelling through real, unscripted moments so you can just be yourselves while I photograph the adventure.

  • An intimate wedding keeps things small and personal — celebrating with your favourite people and skipping the big-day stress. Whether it’s in a cosy forest cottage or along Ireland’s rugged coastline, it’s all about love, laughter, and beautiful memories with your closest crew.

  • Totally fine! Not every elopement means climbing mountains. There are loads of stunning spots in Ireland with easy access and breathtaking views. We’ll match the location to what feels comfortable for you both.

  • No worries! Nearly everyone feels that way. I’ll keep it fun and natural — no stiff posing, just laughter, movement, and genuine moments. You’ll forget the camera’s even there.

  • Yep, 100%! Ireland’s light is wild — in the best way. In winter, the sun can dip before 5pm, while in summer it stays bright till nearly 10pm. Spring and autumn sit somewhere in between, with lovely soft light and moody skies. It’s part of what makes shooting here so special — every season has its own vibe.

    If you’re dreaming of lanterns and blue-hour photos, autumn and winter are perfect. For long hikes and golden sunsets, summer’s your best friend.
