2024 by This Modern Love

2024 was our fourteenth year photographing weddings. What a journey!

Some things have changed over the years. We travel less these days, preferring to be close to home. We find ourselves taking less 'big' portrait shots, instead honing in on the small details and bonds between people. We've found an increasing number of couples request little to no portraits on the day, and we've really embraced that, leaning into the documentary photography - which was always our first love.

We've dusted off our beloved film cameras, and have enjoyed the occasional double exposures and the timeless texture that these photographs give people. We've had even more babies and children as part of our families getting married this year, and this has both melted our hearts and provided a lot of comedy.

The work continues to bring us immense joy. Each year is guaranteed to have moments when the tears are tripping our faces with laughter. This year, the practical joke with the forgotten wedding ring magically delivered by an alpaca springs to mind! We often find ourselves really moved at family's stories and how people navigate their weddings in sometimes tricky circumstances. It continues to be the privilege of our lives that couples trust us to capture their wedding memories.

A huge thank you to all the gorgeous people we've worked with in 2024. To our fantastic wedding industry friends and collaborators. And to all of you, couples past, present and future, friends and strangers, for your support and love.

Happy new year everyone x

2023 by This Modern Love

Some favourite frames from our 2023 weddings. 

A gorgeous hug of a year, with a bunch of beautiful human beings. 

Delighted to work with more little families this year, including the pandemic surprise babies!

To keep things simple, we didn't travel outside Ireland in 2023. But Down, Dublin, Sligo, Wicklow, Tipperary, Laois, Mayo, Louth, Fermanagh, Westmeath, Wexford, Antrim, Carlow and Donegal - we have been in you.  Derry, Armagh, Cork, Meath, Clare and more - we are on our way!

Hugest thanks to all our 2023 couples for the love and the belly laughs, and for allowing us to walk with you for a little bit of 2023. Thanks to our former couples, their friends and families who have recommended us. There's something so incredible about photographing a group of friends or siblings over the years. Enormous thanks also to all the legendary suppliers and venues, for making it all happen like magic.

It is ten years since we put together our first 'best of'. We can hardly believe it. Thanks to everyone who has held us up along the way xx
