Cavan & Monaghan Photographer
Natural, emotional photography for families, weddings & life’s real moments
Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here
I’m Marika, a wedding, family and event photographer based in Swanlinbar, Cavan, working across Cavan, Monaghan, Meath, Longford & surrounding areas.
I specialise in natural, warm, emotional photography — the real moments you can’t pose, the ones that happen between the smiles, the movement, the laughter, and sometimes the chaos.
As a mammy to three very active boys, I learned fast that the best pictures are never staged. And that’s exactly how I photograph my clients — honestly, gently, and in a way that feels like you.
Whether it’s your wedding day, your child’s First Communion or Christening, a family adventure outdoors, or a special event, I’m here to tell your story beautifully.

What My Clients Say
“Marika is an extremely professional photographer with a wonderful eye for detail. She’s down-to-earth and instantly puts you at ease.
As a mother, she was amazing with my kids — making the whole experience fun and relaxed. Her background setting was stunning, and her attention to detail is second to none.
I’ve never had professional photos taken of my children before, and our families thought they looked amazing. Every image was beautiful, even the candid ones taken between poses.
Marika has a kind and caring nature that creates such a calm atmosphere. She’s a natural at making people feel comfortable, and it really shows in the photos.” Marcela
