🤯⛰️✨ As if the existence of wasn't already enough reason to swoon over Ireland, our friends over at kicked it up to a level we didn't even know as possible.

Say what you will about "minty greens" but these golden Irish greens, this stunning landscape and a windswept couple oozing with romantic gazes will always be at the top of our favorites list.

From the photographer:

Our couple had just celebrated their wedding day the evening before, and if you know anything about an Irish wedding, you know the celebrations last long into the night. Rather than stepping away from their loved ones for an extended portrait session on the wedding day itself, they intentionally chose to be fully present with their family and friends, setting aside time the following evening for a romantic bridal portrait session at Dunseverick Castle, in Northern Ireland.

They were drawn to the idea of cliffside portraits that felt true to Ireland’s natural beauty, and we loved the opportunity to create something entirely different from their wedding day at Belleek Castle. While their wedding portraits leaned more editorial and refined, this session was inspired by cinematic storytelling and a joyful documentary approach (and let’s be real, the 2005 Pride and Prejudice adaptation, because who doesn’t love that cinematography feel!). We also drew inspiration from the 19th century painter, Homer, he does an incredible job of really pulling you into his paintings, and we desired that same feel when we captured our couple. We envisioned movement, joyful romance, and passion.

Everything about the evening felt surreal. Green hillsides, cliffs and sheep grazing along the seaside as the sun set with beautiful clear skies. If you know Ireland, you know clear skies and golden sunsets are never guaranteed, there had been consistent rain for months prior to their wedding and yet we had the most beautiful weather during Savannah and Ciaran’s whole wedding weekend.

We get this question all the time. “Do you guys process disposable cameras?” Yes. Yes we do.

Because here’s the secret: disposable cameras aren’t really “disposable”. They’re just a roll of 35mm in a plastic shell.

No special process. Just film.

Send it in like any roll and we’ll take care of the rest.

Save this for later (or send to a friend who has a box of disposables in their garage) 💛

The Holga wasn’t trying to be artistic, it was trying to be affordable.

Designed in the 1980s as a simple camera for everyday family photos, it was meant to be practical, accessible, easy to use. In that sense, it failed.

By the time it arrived, 35mm had already taken over the market.

And the Holga… fell flat.

Light leaks, soft focus, almost no controls. It wasn’t what families were looking for.

But photographers saw something else. What was once a flaw, became an entire point. Instead of families, the Holga found its home in the arsenal of photographers who wanted something a little different.

Because sometimes, perfection isn’t the point.
