About Max

Photography has always been a deep-rooted passion of mine, shaped by a background in the Arts and a long-standing curiosity for storytelling through visuals. Although I’ve been holding a camera for years, it was during my travels across Ireland’s breathtaking landscapes that I truly began to share my work with the world. What started as a personal project to document nature’s beauty under the name @ihaveadarksoul evolved into a meaningful journey—one that led me to people, connection, and ultimately, portrait and wedding photography.

Today, I live in the heart of Wicklow with my wife and our little boy, who just turned one. My day-to-day life is filled with love, light, and inspiration, which naturally spills into the way I photograph couples and moments.

My style is classic, timeless, and candid. I’m drawn to soft light, honest emotions, and the elegance of a moment unfolding naturally. Whether I’m capturing a @wedding or a quiet @portrait, I strive to reflect each person’s individuality with subtlety and care. My aim is always the same: to create meaningful, emotive images that feel both personal and cinematic—like stills from a film about your life.

At the heart of it all, I believe in crafting visual memories—photographs that don’t just preserve a moment, but bring it vividly back to life.
