I cant express how amazing Declan was as our photographer. From day one when I emailed him to meeting up before the wedding and then the day of, he was just amazing. So kind, very relaxed, understanding of how family photos and capturing in the moment real life photos were so important to us. He didn't push any staged photos, he just went out of his way to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. It all went so quickly on the day and I don't even remember seeing him take photos. If you are like me and get a bit overwhelmed I would highly recommend Declan, he will look after you on one of the most amazing days of your life.

Declan was the photographer for our wedding and we couldn't recommend him enough. He made time before hand to hear out what we were looking for and showed us some of his work for comparison. On the day he was so discreet while also being great craic to get the best from each of us. I don't really love having my photograph taken and he made me feel so comfortable right from the beginning. He took loads of candid shots which was exactly what I wanted. We are delighted with our photos and a great turn around. Thanks Declan for everything!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Declan for our wedding, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! From our very first meeting, he was professional, attentive, and incredibly personable, taking the time to understand exactly what we envisioned for our special day.


On the wedding day, Declan was not only punctual and organised but also made everyone feel at ease, capturing both candid moments and beautifully staged photos effortlessly. He managed to perfectly balance capturing all the important moments while never being intrusive, and his attention to detail was second to none.

The final photos exceeded all of our expectations. We received the photos promptly and were blown away by how well they captured the emotions, joy, and beauty of the day. It's clear that Declan has an incredible eye for detail and a genuine passion for his work.

Declan photographed our wedding and from the very beginning he was so nice and professional and easy to work with. He met us before the wedding to go through what kind of photos we wanted and how the day would go. He even went to our wedding venue ahead of time to get to know the grounds.


Throughout the wedding day, he was so lovely to have around. He captured all of the important moments of the day beautifully. We absolutely love our photographs! Declan really went above and beyond to get the best photos for us while making it enjoyable and easy for us and we could not recommend him enough.

ALICE & DAVID

Hi Declan. Just wanted to send you a message to say we are thrilled we were our wedding photographer! Right from the beginning you were so calm and relaxed, which created such a comfortable atmosphere on the day. We are delighted with the photos especially the candid moments. They really captured genuine emotions and feel on the day! Nothing was an issue and we appreciate all your effort to capture our ideas. We got to relive the day when the images came through. It was fantastic to get a few images the next day and it was such a quick turnaround for final shots. We cannot thank you enough!

Elegant wedding bouquet of white and blush roses with baby's breath arranged on soft white tulle fabric.

Right from our first pre-wedding call with Declan, we knew he was the perfect choice of photographer for our day. I have been bridesmaid several times and of all the genuinely talented professionals I’ve seen, Declan is simply a cut above the rest. The pictures he captured and edited are just stunning, and we can feel the happiness and emotion that we felt on the day radiate through the images. He has such a lovely style; balancing natural candid and posed images, and even managed to get amazing shots of our toddler and niece - a nearly impossible task.


Declan was so organised in advance, getting the full list of groups of family members that we wanted to capture and making sure nothing was an issue. He had contingencies for both good and bad weather and laid out a full timeline of the day to make sure we got all the photos we wanted without missing time with our guests. He was also a pleasure to spend time with and his relaxed nature made us feel so chilled, in amongst the general business of the day.

MEGAN & STEPHEN

We were absolutely thrilled with Declan’s work on our wedding day. From our first consultation to the final photos, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely passionate. On the day itself, he captured every special moment so naturally and effortlessly, blending into the background while still catching every laugh, tear, and candid detail.


He also made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, and his eye for the little moments truly brought our day to life. The photos are timeless and full of emotion—we couldn’t be more grateful and would highly recommend Declan to anyone looking for beautiful, authentic wedding photography.

Declan did such a great job with our wedding photography. From the relaxed and calm atmosphere he created to the unreal attention to detail when it came to our photos, he was honestly so great!

His great sense of humour kept us laughing and relaxed which really helped capture some special candid moments. We really wanted to go for candid style photos for the day and Declan nailed it. After receiving our photos we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out."
