2014

Putting the end of year post together has become one of my favourite things. A couple of days spent combing through files, remembering the amazing people I've met and the photos we've made. I couldn't have hoped for a nicer bunch of people to work with in 2014. If you're reading this, you ROCK and thank you so much for having us.

I also started to talk a little bit about photography this year, in a Buzzfeed article which had a brush with going viral (nowhere near Kimye proportions of course, but good craic none-the-less!) and a more contemplative Junebug interview. Which felt weird for this INFP ;) But is hopefully the start of more conversations to come...

As ever, humungous thank yous to our photographer comrades, in Ireland and dotted all around the world, who have kept us sane and inspired, and occasionally inebriated.

Excited to see what 2015 might hold...

2013

We're a little bit late putting this end of year post together. To be honest, we've been eating quality street chocolates, binge-watching box-sets, hanging out with friends, family and doing very little for a few weeks.

It's given us some space to reflect on 2013. Which has been wonderful and has been insane. Mitch catapulted into our lives in March, a tiny bundle of frenetic energy - too curious about the world to sleep. And we've all been swept along in his wake, deeply in love and deeply exhausted.

And outside of this bubble, people are marrying. And we're taking pictures. And amazing couples are giving us free rein to be as creative as we can. And with each wedding we feel like we're slowly finding our voice, and moving ever further towards the kind of images we want to make for people.

So thank you comrades of 2013. Families, photographer-friends, normal-friends (we use the term loosely!). We are beyond grateful to all who have let us into their lives to photograph their wedding stories. We do not take you for granted.

Sayonara 2012

2012. Holy crap. It feels like our feet have hardly touched the ground. So many amazing people, places and adventures. This is a just small window into our year... editing it down has been almost impossible.

We're so incredibly grateful to all the amazing people who have invited us in to document their stories and weddings in 2012. Thank you for having us and for trusting us. We've loved being part of your lives.

It's also been a year of community. Engaged couples of the world - be reassured that wedding photographers are amongst the most creative, generous and hilarious people we've ever met. A huge thanks to all our photographer comrades - pint-friends and pen-pals alike - for your support and your craic.

Just a couple of years ago, Tim was painting alone in a studio, Claire was working up sociology lectures, and thoughts of kids were far in the future. Life today feels very different. We've a toddler, and a baby on the way. We still work on personal projects - but we've thrown all our chips into This Modern Love. And we have a stronger desire than ever to take photographs that feel real, to tell stories, to get closer to the bone.

So sayonara 2012. Thanks to all of you who shared it with us. 2013 is going to rock!
