Italy
Today, Shane lives in Waterford in, Ireland, with his wife Aoife, children Marnie and Miles, and the not-to-be-forgotten Doug, The Frenchie.
He considers himself extremely lucky to have to the opportunity to travel from there, to some of the most spectacular locations nationally and internationally, to document a couple’s days.
In his own unique style.
For Shane, it’s definitely a find something you love to do and never work a day in your life kind of a thing.
And his passion, curiosity and playful outlook on life, shines through in everything he does.
Obsessed
He became hooked on the idea of the unposed and undirected. The images had so much more life to them – a natural depth and beauty. Full of unforced, subtle details.
Then in 2005, he was approached by a friend to shoot their wedding. And he offered Shane free rein to photograph it in his own unique way.
Shane approached the wedding without any pre-determined list of images to record.
Just as a guest, with a camera – focused on capturing the joy, fun and experiences of the day as it naturally unfolded around him.
The images were a phenomenal success.
They instantly resonated with anyone who saw them. They perfectly encapsulated what it was like to be part of the day – transporting those photographed back to exactly how they felt in those moments.
And from there the phone has never stopped ringing.

Hey Shane - I fell down the internet rabbit hole this morning and found myself on your wedding website - holy shit - I’m blown away - what an absolute delight - beyond any categorising - your work is pure magic - particularly drawn to the documentary work - timing and composition and humour and empathy - fucking stellar

Finer Points
Creating memories that resonate uniquely with you, your significant other,
On your wedding day, consider me more than just your photographer—I’m there to have your back. Whether it’s fixing a stray hair, adjusting a dress or suit, or making sure you look your best, I’m on it. Need a breather? We’ll take a moment together. Need a little space? I’ll step in and gently make it happen. You focus on soaking it all in—I’ll take care of the rest.
What I'm
loving
Couples who make their day all about them, disregarding blog posts that tell you what NOT to do at a wedding. It's your day, the only people who should have a say in it, is both of you.
What I'm
learning
My near two decade long career has trained me to anticipate moments at a wedding, commanding a crowd when needed, keeping to a tight schedule, & reading my couple's emotions.
What I'm
not about
Cookie-cutter photography & safe shots. I will always head into a wedding with new ideas curated together with each couple, showcasing your relationship & your venue from a unique perspective.
what I
believe
My work is created with a genuine trust between my clients. Not everyone is the right "fit" for me, just like not every photographer is the right "fit" for you. When we click together, we can make magic.
