“A lovely fella to have around the house”
– Tony – Father of the bride in 2017, and again in 2020 (with a different daughter!)
Before getting into pricing information, it is really important that my photography style is a good match for what you are looking for. You can read more about my photography style here, but the short version is that I aim to tell the real story of your wedding day in a documentary/reportage/natural way. Apart from the family and bridal party photographs my aim is to be invisible!
STOP here if you are looking for more traditional wedding photography or a lot of posed photographs – there are much more suitable photographers for you and I’m happy to recommend some.
CONTINUE if a stealthy ninja photographer who lets you enjoy your day sounds right up your street….
Packages Shmackages
I like to keep things simple. I’ve got one package – I’m there to cover your morning preparations, your ceremony, families and bridal party photoshoot and the drinks reception up until your guests sit for their meal. From that point on, it’s up to you – I’ve a simple hourly rate so I can stay for the speeches, dancing, a sunset photoshoot outside, sparklers, fireworks – whatever you have planned.
“A huge THANK YOU! You really put us at ease. Every single person commented on how lovely and polite and friendly you were, and also how you seemed to be about 3 places at once!”
– Grace & Billy – Cloughjordan House
What I do
My approach is 95% documentary – a relaxed, fly-on-the-wall, authentic recording of your day. The other 5% is family photographs (the only time I ask anyone to look at me!) and the bridal party photoshoot. I give a little bit of guidance when it comes to the bridal party “portraits”, but my aim is to keep it fun and easy (and quick so you can get back to your guests!).
If you haven’t already seen my annual highlight videos, I’d highly recommend you take a few minutes to watch one of the below (or 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014 or all the way back in 2013!).
If watching these makes you feel something, then we’re probably a good match.

A beautiful 10”x10” Wedding Album in a choice of cover options showcasing 60-80 of your favourite photographs

Optional Extras
Extended Coverage ~ €100/hr
After 6pm, I’m happy to stay as long as you need me. Just a few speeches before the meal? An hour will cover it. Epic dance floor moves – count me in! Photographs outside during sunset? Amazing!
Each additional hour also includes two more pages in your wedding album.
Same Day Slideshow ~ €150
If I’m staying until dancing, the same day slideshow is an option. It’s a projected slideshow of the highlights of your day so far presented just after dessert. You get a preview of the photographs and it also goes down a treat with guests.
Digital Files ~ €350
All of the processed photographs (typically between 500-700 depending on the coverage) from your wedding ready for printing without watermarks or logos.
Larger Album Upgrade ~ €200
Upgrade your wedding album to a larger 12″x12″ Album.
Mini Album Copies ~ €300 for 2
These albums are an exact duplicate of your wedding album in a slightly smaller 8″x8″ size. These are very popular as gifts for parents.
Pre/Post Wedding Session ~ €350
A two hour, relaxed, informal photo session at a location in Limerick/Clare. This is often used for invites, personalised guest signing books, signing mounts, thank you cards, etc. Before the wedding it’s a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera and get some amazing photographs. And after the wedding, it’s a good excuse to wear the dress again and go somewhere dramatic – or even just get some outdoor photographs if it was raining on the wedding day!
Thank You Cards ~ price depends on quantity
Beautiful, photo quality thank you cards customised to feature the best images from your wedding.
Wall Art ~ price depends on size and finish
A range of wall art options are available in different sizes on a variety of finishes (such as canvas, acrylic, aluminium and wood).
