Ibelieve that love and family are the bridge between safe places and new adventures and for me a wedding encompasses all of these elements.

Girl meets boy, they fall madly in love and plan a wedding. But not only a wedding day. They plan for a great new adventure, one that leaves behind the safety of what they call “home” to create a new home together.

A wedding day is so symbolic of this new chapter in their lives and its importance is never lost on me at one single wedding. Not only that, it is where I take my inspiration from for each wedding I photograph. Capturing all the love between families at a wedding celebration is at the heart of my vision for your wedding!

 

 

In 2016 I was honoured to be named Weddings Online Photographer of the Year and in 2015 I was named by Hotpress Magazine as “one to watch for 2015”. The success of Eden Photography has come through hard work and a passion for what I do. I love weddings and photographing couples in love – I am blessed to do what I do!

Over the years Eden Photography has captured some of the most beautiful weddings, meeting the most amazing couples along the way. I have worked with some of the best designers, planners and vendors in the industry and have graced the pages of Confetti, the Wedding Journal, the Irish Times, Weddings Online, One Fab Day and Before the Big Day.

Photography for me is a precious glimpse into a moment. I love that it can tell a story more beautifully than a thousand words, yet has enough mystery to leave you wanting more. I believe the moments captured through my lens should stand the test of time, and be loved for generations to come. The idea of a beautiful image framed in a special place in your home is at the heart of what I want to achieve for you. Perhaps this stems from my love of the past. I am a history buff (having completed a PhD in a former life!), who loves going back in time and being taken on a beautiful journey.

I appreciate the nostalgia in old things, taking long journeys in the car and eating outside with a glass of wine with great company.

I am Tanya, the photographer behind the lens at Eden Photography. I specialise in a boutique style of photography that is a mixture between photojournalism and fine art, creatively and naturally telling the story of your day with elegant simplicity.

I studied photography at St. Johns Central College and later had the pleasure of learning from wedding photographers who are amongst the most inspiring that I have met.

Somewhere between my photography training and completing a PhD in Politics I found wedding photography and have not looked back – I have been so lucky to have found what I was meant to do.

The road has not always been smooth and losing my mum in 2011 was heartbreaking in a way that words can not even describe. Returning to wedding photography I saw each and every wedding in a new light. I saw them as the ultimate celebration between family and friends where you gather together all of the people you love, squeeze them tight and declare before them all that you have found the person you want to share the rest of your life with. What can be more special than that? It has taught me to give back and I am lucky to be able to give a percentage of my profits to charity each year, to help other families that may not be as lucky.

I pride myself on connecting with people and the relationships I form with my couples are the most important part of my business. It creates an intimacy in my photography & makes for a fun time together, where everyone can just be themselves! For this reason, I only take a limited number of wedding commissions each year. Each and every wedding that I photograph is a gift that I treasure. I love weddings and have a passion for storytelling! A wedding for me, is a love story that needs to be told – something that future generations can look back on and live the excitement and love of the day all over again.
 
I hope that you are here because you are planning a wedding that reflects who you are as a couple and want to share this with all the most important people in your life and I hope that the sun will shine on your day – fingers crossed anyway! If you are, then I would love to be there with you all too. I promise to be discreet and take beautiful images that tell the story of your day and that you and your family can treasure. Please take a look through my portfolio and if you think we are a match I would love to hear from you and meet up to hear all your wonderful plans for the day.

We wanted someone who was subtle and friendly. As a bride  

It is important to feel comfortable around your photographer

My husband and I were a little nervous of the couple photographs

But I have to admit we felt so relaxed

 and it was one of the more romantic & enjoyable parts of the day

I felt like Tanya was just one of the girls when I was getting ready

We had fun during the couples session with Tanya

And that was very important to us

The photos are just fantastic. Thank you. The photos in the Green are really beautiful! They are stunning & very creative, but it is how stress free you made the whole process that I remember the most. We were so nervous at first, but with you there to guide us through it we felt relaxed and comfortable. Every shot has us smiling & that is down to you. You made it easy. Looking at the photos tonight is so emotional as it really brings back the memories & joy on our wedding day
