Based in Ireland, Christina photographs weddings internationally. In 2004 she moved to Ireland for love and in 2007 established a career in wedding photography.

Christina is known for her sophisticated, fine art style of photography that is used to create a timeless set of wedding photos In 2003, after earning a degree in photography, Christina left her hometown of Chicago to continue her photographic education at Speos Photographic Institute in Paris. She has always been drawn to photographing people, and weddings became a good fit. Once she entered the

world of weddings an infatuation took hold, a passion grew. This passion for what she does is constant. She's had the pleasure of creating and hosting one of the first inspirational and educational wedding events in Ireland (The White Event ), has photographed wedding editorials for some of the top Irish magazines, mentored other inspiring photographers, religiously shared wedding advice for couples (which resulted in her first ebook Ever Yours and a second edition is on the way!), and was invited to speak at the first Confetti Live show. Weddings have taken her all over Ireland, throughout Europe, to the US, and the Caribbean. Love is truly a universal language.

Experience as a photographer has taught me sometimes I need to step back and see the bigger moment at play. This was that moment. We can so often forget as photographers that intimate moments also need space to reveal themselves.

“I feel like this dress is fully mine now. I don’t feel like it’s my running clothes or something, but it feels mine now. Like I’ve sweat in it. Guinness is on it. Blood, sweat and tears. I love it so much.” ~ KP

I’m at a loss for words to describe my three days with Kathleen and Ciaran. The details alone were enough to make any photographer scream internally, but they weren’t what made this weekend what it was. It was the couple at the heart of it.

Witnessing a bride so in her element, so “blissed out,” as she so eloquently described it, was beyond anything else. This is my hope for every couple getting married. That you can be so fully immersed in your wedding that you feel totally ‘blissed out’.

There were two main reasons they chose Virginia Park Lodge for their wedding: the gardens with their verdant greenery and the wallpapered interiors that nod to Kathleen’s granny. These two elements were important in how we shaped their wedding portraits.

I’ve never shot weddings for content.

What you see online is probably less than 1% of what I photograph during a wedding day. And that’s intentional.

Not every couple wants to live online. Not every moment is meant for public consumption. Some things deserve privacy. Some moments feel more valuable because they’re kept just for the people who lived them.

Ironically, the unseen images are often my favourites. The images with attached meaning, not performance.

The photos that resonate most deeply in a family archive are rarely the ones that perform best on Instagram. And I think that’s worth remembering in a world where weddings can sometimes start feeling more like content campaigns than lived experiences.

But, I understand that when you get a gem like this, sometimes it just has to be shared. And that’s ok too.

Posing isn’t just direction. It’s energy.

The way your photographs feel is largely shaped in the space between you and your photographer. You don’t just respond to the guidance - you respond to the person guiding you.

If you feel rushed, it shows.
If you feel uncomfortable, it lingers.
If you feel at ease, it softens everything.

The images you’re drawn to? They’re not just about composition or light. They’re a reflection of alignment between couple and photographer, vision and presence.

So when you’re choosing who to trust with your wedding imagery, look beyond the portfolio. Pay attention to their energy, and how that energy might make you feel on your wedding day. Find someone whose energy allows you to be yourselves. That’s where the photographs you’re actually hoping for begin.

Does experience matter?

I recently thought about it, did the maths, and crunched the numbers.

Nearly 19 years.
600+ weddings.
Across 3 continents and multiple cultures.

Those years, and experiences, have refined everything I do technically, in business, and personally. I’m shaped as much by the missteps as by the successes. It’s an evolution to continuously improve each part.

How to read a room, how to move within it, how to anticipate rather than react. How to build a sustainable way of working, understand where burnout begins, know what is needed to show up fully, and hold a space where you feel guided when it matters and completely at ease when it doesn’t. How to improve technically, grow artistically, and stay curious enough to keep the work evolving. This only scratches the surface.

The learning never stops, it deepens. The mistakes don’t end, they hone. As Henry Ford once said “Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.”

Does experience matter?

Familiar venue, new perspective.

I’ve photographed this space countless times, but the pull to find a different angle always wins. This time, it led me skyward. And it was worth it.

Kaitlyn and Sam’s wedding at sunny is still under wraps but I’ll tease you with this image for now.

Your wedding experience is shaped largely by how well you’re aligned with the people you choose to be around you, regardless of how considered every detail may be.

When you’re choosing key vendors (ie. planner, photographer, videographer - anyone you will spend a large part of your day with) you’re not just booking a service, you’re inviting those people into the most intimate and emotionally charged hours of your wedding day. The dynamic matters.

Before you make a decision, have this important conversation.

Ask how they work, not just what they produce. Do you want someone who takes initiative to make the moment feel perfect or do you want moments to unfold as they are? The ceremony is often where this becomes most apparent. Some couples want complete discretion, nothing interrupting the atmosphere while others are grateful for a professional who will step in to perfect the aesthetic when something shifts off course. Both are valid, but they require very different instincts from the people you hire, and knowing how you want your experience to feel and what your vendor will do when a situation will present itself is worth talking about before you make a decision. Clarity here is what protects your experience.

There’s no right or wrong approach, only what feels right to you. Because disappointment on a wedding day rarely comes from a lack of experience - it comes from a mismatch in expectations and communication.

The right vendor for you isn’t just about aesthetic. It’s about alignment.

The original plan for Charlotte and Brandon’s engagement shoot was to work our way from Glendalough to Lough Tay, but when Charlotte sent me the inspiration for her vision, I knew we had to change locations to 🏛️

Charlotte and Brandon are due to get married at the estate next year so having their engagement photos there fits in with their wedding story. If you’ve ever been to Powerscourt Gardens you know how vast the grounds are, and on a wedding day it’s just impossible to cover even a fraction of the grounds for photos. So having their engagement shoot at the same location gave us more time to move further into the garden and cover locations we just wouldn’t get on the wedding day.

Coincidentally, and completely unplanned, their engagement shoot fell exactly one year to the day of their wedding, making the story feel full circle.
