My commitment to you
As your wedding photographer my aim is to blend into the crowd and capture the events of your special day as it unfolds. My distinctive style of wedding photography provides you with a picture book story of your day which you can cherish for a lifetime and be enjoyed by generations to come; from the nerve-wracking but always exciting early morning preparations through to the very last dance.
What sets me apart from other photographers is that I do not finish with the ‘cutting of the cake’ but continue to capture photos through the speeches, first dance and into the night. It’s during these moments that often the most natural photos of the day are captured as events become more relaxed.
Packages
I want to offer you complete flexibility allowing you to tailor my photography to your requirements. I have designed a small number of my most popular packages, where you can see exactly what you’ll get for your money.
It doesn’t matter if you are 5 or 500, whether you are getting married in Donegal or Dublin, whether you want me for an hour or the whole weekend, I can cater for your wedding.
All packages include the following:-
Full Day Packages

Customised packages
If you want things a little different than the above and have your ideas of what you want me to provide then just let me know and I’ll tailor the package to your needs.
Albums
I design the wedding albums entirely from scratch. They come in the form of large modern hardback coffee table books. The books are professionally bound and the images are printed directly onto the pages so there is no fear of the image ever coming loose from your album which can happen with the more traditional wedding album. An album can hold up to 400 pages but usually average at around 170 pages and up. Quite a few have contained more than 250 pages.
The albums measure 13” x 11” and borderless pages are possible (one image covers an entire page – Even a double page spread is possible if suitable which would give you a massive image of 23” wide and 11” tall image.) See example below.

Online Slideshow with Print facility.
After I’ve shot your wedding, it will take roughly between 1 and 3 weeks for me to go through all of your wedding photographs. Once completed I will create an online slideshow for you with personalised link. Here you’ll be able to browse your full wedding slideshow complete with finialised versions of your photographs.
From this slideshow you’ll be able to order professional quality prints and cards. I’ll even provide you with a 20% OFF Voucher code to make things even more affordable for you. I can assure you, you’ll not find better quality prints anywhere. They are quite astounding and have to be seen in the flesh to be truly appreciated.
You can even share the link with family and friends and they can order their prints too saving you any hassle in having to share or copy disks. They can help themselves with the click of a few buttons!

FAQ
Do you shoot on Digital or Film?
I shoot using a professional digital camera which will produce the same or better quality than film.
Not only is the quality superb but it gives great flexibility and allows me to shoot in mixed lighting conditions.
It’s a myth that film is somehow more ‘artistic’ than digital.
How far will you travel for a wedding?
I will travel anywhere to shoot your wedding. I’ve shot all over Ireland and far beyond. Fancy a wedding abroad? Take me with you!
If I book, will you be the photographer at my wedding?
Yes. I’m a one man operation and I’m totally dedicated to your wedding.
Is the work that I am seeing all yours and only yours or is it a selection of work from more than one photographer?
All the work you see on this site is mine.
Can I see some complete weddings?
You can indeed. I have several complete wedding books to browse you on the web.
Click here to see the selection available.
How many photos do you take at an average wedding?
There is no limit to the number of photographs I take – I will take as many pictures as there are opportunities. The quantity might depend on the size of your wedding, the location or the weather. Usually I will take 1000 shots upwards. The selection that I provide you is the best of that selection and this number usually varies between 300-500 shots.
Do we get a disc of our photographs and can we print from it?
Yes. You will be given a DVD (CD’s can be arranged if you don’t have a DVD player) with all high res images from your day. These images can be printed at practically any size.
Are the images on our disc watermarked?
No, the images are watermark free.
Can I see a demo of your wedding books?
I have a couple of high resolution videos on my site (click here to view) that show the books in as much detail as possible.
However, I also have some demo books should you wish to see them in the flesh. Just get in touch to arrange a face to face meeting.
How do we book you?
Very simple, drop me an email or give me a call. If I’m available on your date then I can take your booking. All dates are booked on a first come first served basis. Don’t hesitate as although my availability calendar may not look to busy, I don’t mark down inquiries and therefore if your interested in a date be sure to let me know.
Do you require a deposit and when is the balance due?
To secure booking a deposit is necessary. The deposit is a 3rd of the total cost of your chosen package.
When is the rest of the balance due?
After securing your date with the deposit (a third of your package cost), the next payment (another third) is due on your wedding day. The final third is due once I have created your online slideshow.
If the wedding overruns will there be any extra charges?
No.
Are there any other charges on top of the quoted price?
No. I don’t charge for fuel or hotel costs.
What time do you start shooting on a wedding day?
If you are opting for the full day package then I would advise that I start at least an hour and half before the ceremony start time. If you require an earlier start time then just let me know and we can arrange it.
For the half day packages I will start shooting at the church to capture arrival of guests.
What time do you finish at?
Again, if you are opting for a full day package then I usually finish about 4 or 5 songs after the first dance.
With the half day package I will finish as soon as the bride and groom are seated for the meal. This is usually around 6pm or the meal time given to you by your reception venue.
How long after the wedding do we have to wait to see our wedding photographs?
It will normally take between 1-3 weeks after your wedding day for me to have your slideshow ready. My aim is that by the time you return for your honeymoon they’re ready to be viewed. Oh, and if you’re really impatient, drop me a mail a few days after your wedding, I can easily send you on a few teasers.
Is it possible to get additional wedding books?
Absolutely. You can order as many books as you want.
Payment methods?
The preferred methods are cash or cheque. At present I don’t take credit or lasercard payments.
