Based in Cork, I work with couples and families throughout Ireland, creating natural, timeless photographs that capture genuine moments and meaningful connections. Whether it's a wedding day filled with emotion and celebration or the beautiful chaos of family life, my goal is always the same, to preserve memories that will be treasured for generations.
Photography isn't just my profession; it's how I see the world. Even when I'm off duty, I'm constantly noticing the way light falls through a room, how people interact with one another, and the little details that often go unnoticed. I'm endlessly inspired by people, their stories, personalities, and relationships. Every person brings something unique, and every connection is worth capturing.
What I love most about photography is that it allows me to combine creativity with human connection. I have the privilege of documenting some of life's most important moments while creating images that feel authentic, emotional, and true to the people in them.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me spending time with my family, exploring new places, or enjoying the beautiful coastline we’re lucky to have here in Cork.
If you're looking for a photographer who is relaxed, professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in telling your story, I'd love to hear from you.

a few nice words …

"You could not ask for a more professional photographer who, at the same time, is such a lovely person. She really makes you feel comfortable (so it doesn’t feel like a forced and unnatural photo shoot). Her photos are exceptional quality - I’ve got mine hanging all over my house - and we have such happy memories of our day.”

Drene was excellent and very professional. She went out of her way to make sure we got the best shots. She made my fiancé feel very at ease as he really doesn’t like having his picture taken. Thx so much!!!

Drene is such a wonderful photographer. We have done 2 family photo shoots with her and she gave us beautiful photos that we will forever cherish, she captured the heart of our family so well.
Drene is also easy to work with and makes such an effort to connect with the kids and make everyone feel relaxed. There is no doubt we'll be coming back for more special shoots.
Attached a photo of some of our beautiful pics that we have hanging on our wall. -

“On the 11th January 2020, I proposed to my girlfriend at Tala Valley just before embarking on a scenic hot air ballon trip. The talented Drene captured our fairy tale proposal perfectly. We had the best experience with Drene. She is punctual,professional and has a great eye for detail. She is such a pleasure to work with. I appreciated her asking if I had any preferred poses, as this demonstrated she valued our preferences. Her communication was efficient, and on the day she also assisted me with the set up of the proposal.I can’t imagine a better photographer to work with. Her photos are of great quality that they were approved by a magazine to be on their front cover of the next edition. I would definitely recommend Drene.”
