About Me | Rubistyle Photography

I AM A CREATIVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FROM MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, BUT BASED IN THE MIDLANDS OF IRELAND SINCE 2001.

MY PARENTS WERE BOTH ARTISTS AND I STUDIED FINE ART AND FILM PHOTOGRAPHY AT UNIVERSITY IN VICTORIA BEFORE MOVING TO IRELAND. I HAVE OVER A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE PHOTOGRAPHING WEDDINGS AND THE DRIVING BELIEF BEHIND MY WORK IS THAT EACH WEDDING STORY I SHOOT IS UNIQUE, AND THEREFORE I APPROACH EACH ONE WITH AN OPEN MIND AND A CREATIVE EYE.

I HAVE SPOKEN AND TAUGHT AT CONFERENCES THROUGHOUT IRELAND SINCE EARLY 2018, AS WELL AS RUNNING MY OWN WORKSHOPS TEACHING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS THE FINER POINTS OF CREATIVE SHOOTING AND EDITING TECHNIQUES TO HELP THEIR WORK SHINE AND STAND OUT IN A SEA OF WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS.

I LIVE IN A TINY COTTAGE I NAMED BASKERVILLE, ON AN ACRE AND A HALF, BESIDE TWO LAKES IN CO. WESTMEATH WITH MY CATS, QUARTER HORSE, SHETLAND PONY AND RESCUE WHIPPET, GALLIFREY.

IN MY FREE TIME I LOVE DECORATING MY COTTAGE AND OBSESSING OVER FARROW AND BALL PAINT COLOURS (MY FAVES ARE INCHYRA BLUE, VARDO, ARSENIC, PLUMMET, BABOUCHE AND CALAMINE).

I SHOOT EXCLUSIVELY WITH FUJIFILM MIRRORLESS CAMERAS AND WAS HONOURED TO BE ASKED BY FUJILOVE MAGAZINE TO WRITE AN ARTICLE ON SHOOTING WEDDINGS CREATIVELY WITH MY X-PRO2S IN 2019.

ONE OF MY BRIDAL PORTRAITS, A DOUBLE EXPOSURE, WAS CHOSEN FOR THE COVER.

You are laid-back and unpretentious and have a great sense of humour. Aesthetics are important to you and you probably love art, design and pretty things but you aren't materialistic and you don't keep up with the joneses - you dance to the beat of your own drum.

You love a party and you want to remember the good times. Photos on your wedding day are a priority to you, something you want to invest in because you know memories are what will keep this day alive.

You're here because you have just started to make plans. You're not exactly sure what you want from your wedding photographer because you haven't done this before and you don't know how it works but you're pretty sure you know what you like and what you don't.

You know the difference between a good photo and a great one.

You want the best wedding photos possible but you don't want to pose all day.You want it all. beautiful portraits of just the two of you and lots of candid photos with friends and family.

You want to look good and feel great but you don't take yourselves too seriously. You want a fun day with family and friends. You want to relax and not sweat the small stuff.

You don't want the day to end. You want to remember it always. Not just what it looked like, but what it felt like. You will want to go back in time to that day and you can.

Because photography is time travel and I make time capsules.

If you would like to meet me on that momentous day, you know what to do.
