Hey, I’m Ciaran! šŸ’« If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I bring more than just a camera to your wedding day—I bring energy, ease, and a deep love for capturing moments that actually feel like you. With over a decade of experience photographing weddings, I’ve learned that the best photos come when you’re fully present—laughing, crying, dancing like nobody’s watching. My job? To make sure you feel comfortable enough to do just that while I document it all with intention and artistry. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me making jewelry, shopping at SĆ©zane, playing tennis, or planning my travels around the best dining spots (because yes, food is an experience). But don’t get me wrong—I’m just as down for a good old Chili’s bar and grill yap sesh with the gals! Whether you’re saying ā€˜I do’ on a cliffside in Utah or in a candlelit chĆ¢teau in France, I’m here for your story, exactly as it is. Let’s create something unforgettable together🪽

If your wedding vision has anything to do with open air, natural light, and the kind of day that just feels easy — hi, we should talk šŸ‘‹šŸ¼Ā 2026 books are closing here shortly.

He proposed here just last fall and we came back to celebrate it. Emma + Isaac picked the most perfect spot and I think it picked them right back. Golden light, Golden Gate, and two golden people who are absolutely crazy about each other. Cannot WAIT for their wedding here in just a few days!!

It’s never just about the big moments on a wedding day and that’s why I’m paying attention long before and long after them. Enjoy this collection of the most intentional and beautiful details and in-between moments from Emma and Caleb's wedding dayšŸ«¶šŸ¼šŸ’šŸŖ½

It’s the quiet in-between moments for me— the soft light, the steady hands, the butterflies you can’t quite shake. Not to mention, the excitement, the nerves, and the kind of love that makes your heart race. Love all my sweet brides and these even sweeter morningsšŸ¤
