So myself as a newlywed, I can absolutely understand the wedding preparation madness.Perhaps that is precisely why I take such pleasure in weddings and elopements--in the end it all comes down to one simple fact of life: Marrying your best friend some ight, with only a few cherished people present to witness the occasion.

and that's all that really matters.

I derive great joy from immortalizing intimate moments of affection found in nature, whether it be through the privacy of eloping lovers or the splendor of a ceremonial union. I firmly believe that each pair deserves to have their singular journey of fondness depicted through the lens of a photographer equally as fervent about experiencing thrills and vast vistas. If informal settings with comfortable footwear and a leisurely constitutional through a sun-soaked meadow suit you better than conventional protocols, then I am the image-catcher for your union. Let us embark on an unforgettable adventure together and seize your story of care for one another in all of its untamed glory.

it’s not about what it looks like. it’s about what it feels like.

Hey there! I’m Johnny – your laid-back, unposed, fun-loving wedding and elopement photographer. I’m here for every laugh, every adventure, and every unforgettable moment. More than just snapping photos, I’m your go-to for capturing wild love stories across Ireland’s most epic landscapes.

what’s the story behind the elephant and a shoe?

“Elephant Shoe” is a phrase I have always loved because when you lip read someone saying this you see “I love you”. While it is unlikely that you would use the phrase “elephant shoe” in a real conversation it does highlight that sometimes things do get lost in translation.Elephant Shoe is a cute fun way of saying “I love you”. Try it out today without using your voice!

Whether you're at home, at work, or out and about, you can brighten someone's day with this playful expression. And who knows? Maybe “Elephant Shoe” will become your new favourite way to say “I love you” - just like it has for me, as I love using it with my wife and kid!

P.S. We even used “Elephant Shoe” at our wedding banner, table, etc! It’s been my cheeky little reminder of the love we share, wrapped up in this fun phrase. Give it a go and spread a little love—no words needed!
