The Work

Photographs that feel like genuine memories — never a performance

David did a fantastic job of capturing our big day. From our first contact right through to the day itself, it was entirely stress-free. We adore our photos — everything was effortless and natural, exactly what we wanted.

About

Hi, I’m David

Dublin based, but you’ll find me shooting across Ireland — from Wicklow and Wexford to Kerry, Cork, Galway and Clare — and across Europe when the call comes.

I’ve been a full-time photographer since 2007, with 900+ weddings under my belt. Coffee, crisps and Formula 1 keep me going between shoots. At my core, I’m just a guy who loves a good story and a genuine laugh — the best work happens when everyone’s relaxed and having a good time.

The Approach

Your day, your story, captured discreetly

Your wedding day should feel relaxed, natural and full of real emotion — not a production. You’ll spend the day living every moment while I quietly document it all: the laughter, the nerves, the glances across the room — the parts you’ll remember and the ones you didn’t even see happening.

Whether you marry in Ireland, France, Italy, Spain or even Iceland, the experience is the same: calm, enjoyable and beautifully documented. When you look back, your photographs won’t just remind you how it looked — they’ll let you feel it all again.

Based in Dublin · Wicklow · Wexford · Cork · Kerry · Galway · Clare · & throughout Europe
