AMELPOMENEM — Portrait Photographer in Wexford, Ireland
Come as you are. Leave with art.
I’ve never done a shoot before. Is that okay?
Totally fine. I’ll guide you with poses, light, styling, and mood. You don’t need to «know how» — just show up as you.
How many photos do I get?
Usually between 50 and 200 edited shots. It depends on what we shoot and which option you pick.
Do you edit the photos?
Yes, always. I do full colour grading and light retouching to keep the vibe real but polished.
Where are you based?
Y35KHR0, Wexford town, Ireland. The studio is right in the town centre.

I am absolutely blown away by my session with Olena 🥹💕 She really showed up for me when I enquired about a VERY last minute session, and on top of that she even caught a few snaps of my little dog! I truly couldn’t be happier with the service and already planning my next shoots! The photos are amazing and look very professional. I’m really excited about working with her again and so grateful for her hospitality and kindness. Above all, I felt so comfortable and at ease in the shoot as a newbie. I received the photos in just a few days and I could not be happier. I can finally update my profile picture too 😆💕✨ 10000% recommend, don’t hesitate!

I really recommend booking in for a photography session with Olena, the booking process was easy and fun with Olena giving me ideas and a mood board for the shoot. During the session I felt really comfortable and at ease. Olena is very professional and I absolutely love how my photos came out! Thanks again!
