Here are a few tips to help you find the best wedding photographer for your big day:

Define your style: Before you start your search, it's important to have a clear idea of the style of photography that you are looking for. Do you want traditional, posed shots? Or are you looking for something more candid and photojournalistic? Knowing what you like will help you narrow down your options and find photographers whose work aligns with your vision.

Research and compare: Once you have a sense of the style you are looking for, start doing some research. Look at the websites and portfolios of different photographers, and read reviews and testimonials from past clients. Pay attention to the quality of the images, the diversity of the subjects and settings, and the overall aesthetic of the work.

Check Google reviews:  Online reviews can provide valuable insights into a photographer's work, style, and professionalism, and can help you make an informed decision about who to hire. When reading reviews, pay attention to the overall tone and content of the reviews, rather than just the number of positive or negative reviews. Look for reviews that provide specific details about the photographer's work and the experience of working with them. This can help you get a better sense of what to expect if you choose to hire them.

Meet and interview: After you have narrowed down your list of potential photographers, schedule in-person consultations or Zoom calls to meet with them and discuss your wedding in more detail. This is a good opportunity to ask questions, get to know the photographer, and see if you feel a connection.

Consider your budget: Finally, be sure to consider your budget when choosing a wedding photographer. While it's important to invest in high-quality images that you will cherish for a lifetime, it's also important to be realistic about what you can afford. Be upfront about your budget with potential photographers and see if they can work within your constraints.

As a wedding photographer, I'm suspicious to talk about myself, so instead of recommending myself, I will recommend a list of awesome wedding photographers in Dublin Ireland that I know well and can be trusted with your eyes closed. But you might be wondering, why a photographer would recommend others in an article on his own website, that sounds very contradictory, right? Yes, I know that, and I will explain why.

I started my career as a wedding photographer back in February 2011, and since then I've photographed over 500 weddings in Ireland and around the globe, I've built solid referrals and word-of-mouth recommendations, so honestly I'm receiving more inquiries than I can handle. Since 2016 my business has thankfully flourished to such a degree that I had to raise my prices to reflect changes in supply and demand, and since the birth of my 2 daughters, I've decided to photograph only 20 to 25 weddings per year so I can spend more time with my family and also offer better attention and quality to my couples. I do not take every wedding I'm approached to photograph. It's truly important that I work with couples who share my brand values.

I like to get to know my wedding couples very well to ensure we are a good fit and also check if I will be able to offer what you are looking for. If after our zoom call I see we are not a good fit, I will be very honest with you and will recommend a photographer from the list below that will be more towards the style that you are looking for.

I'm more than happy to have a zoom call with you two to go through some details of your wedding and get to know each other as well. If you wish to do so, please click HERE to schedule our zoom call, and I will look forward to getting to know you. If you have any questions at all you can hit me a message on Whatsapp by clicking HERE or using my number +353873214592 and let's make sure you get the best wedding experience possible ;)

Here are the most common questions/mistakes by Brides and Grooms in Ireland

  • How Much Does a Wedding Photographer Cost in Ireland and why?
  • Why Is Wedding Photography So Expensive?
  • Why hiring a good photographer should be on top of my budget plan?
  • Should I hire only 1  photographer or 2 is more ideal?

 


Here you will find everything that you need to know about finding the perfect wedding photographer in Dublin and around Ireland.

 

 

How Much Does a Wedding Photographer Cost in Ireland and why?

The cost of a wedding photographer in Ireland can vary widely, depending on a number of factors. Some of the main factors that can impact the price of wedding photography services include:

Experience and reputation: Generally, photographers with more experience and a stronger reputation in the industry will charge more for their services. This is because they have typically invested more time and resources into developing their skills and building a successful business, and may have a larger client base and higher demand for their services.

Style and approach: The style and approach of a photographer can also affect the cost of their services. For example, photographers who specialize in more posed, traditional wedding photography may charge more than those who focus on candid, photojournalistic shots.

Package options: Many photographers offer different package options with varying levels of coverage and services. More comprehensive packages may include additional hours of coverage, additional photographers or assistants, prints or albums, and other added perks. These packages can be more expensive than basic packages that only include a certain number of hours of coverage and a set number of edited images.

Location: The location of your wedding can also impact the cost of wedding photography. Photographers who are based in major cities or popular wedding destinations may charge more due to higher demand and higher costs of living in those areas.

On average, wedding photographers in Ireland can charge anywhere from €1,500 to €4,000 or more for their services. However, it is important to keep in mind that the final cost will depend on the specific factors listed above, as well as any additional services or customization that you may request. It is always a good idea to get quotes from multiple photographers and compare their packages and prices before making a decision.

  • Will we receive the negatives and is there an extra cost for that?
  • How much is the deposit and when does is it due?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • Do you carry backup equipment?

 

1) Are wedding photographers normally available for most dates?

Most wedding photographers are available on wedding dates, as this is their primary job and source of income. However, it’s important to book a photographer as soon as possible, especially if you’re getting married during peak wedding season or on a popular date, as photographers can book up quickly.

It’s a good idea to start looking for a wedding photographer at least twelve to 18 months before your wedding date. This will give you plenty of time to research different photographers, compare their styles and prices, and meet with potential photographers to determine the best fit for you.

Once you’ve found a photographer that you like and who is available on your wedding date, be sure to book them as soon as possible to ensure that they’re available for your special day. Most photographers will require a deposit to secure the date, and it’s important to read and understand the terms of the contract before signing.

Overall, while most wedding photographers are available on wedding dates, it’s important to book early to ensure that you get the photographer of your choice on your special day.

2) Make sure to ask and confirm who will be taking the photos at your wedding.

 

When hiring a wedding photographer, it is important to confirm which photographer will be taking the photos at your wedding. This is typically determined by the wedding photography company or studio and may be based on the availability and expertise of the photographers on their team.

 

In most cases, you will have the opportunity to meet the photographer who will be available to photograph your wedding before the event. This is typically done through an initial consultation, either in person or online, where you can discuss your vision and preferences for your wedding photography. This is also a good time to ask any questions you may have and to get to know the photographer's style and approach to wedding photography.

 

If you have specific requests or preferences, it is important to communicate them to the photographer and the photography company ahead of time. This will help ensure that you are matched with a photographer who is the right fit for your needs and who will be able to deliver the type of imagery you are looking for.

 

In summary, it is generally possible to meet the photographer who will be available to photograph your wedding, and it is important to confirm and discuss your preferences and expectations with them beforehand.

 

 

3) Do you need an assistant to help you on the day?

 

It is not uncommon for wedding photographers to work with an assistant on a wedding day. Having an assistant can be helpful for a number of reasons.

 

First and foremost, an assistant can help the photographer by carrying equipment, setting up lighting, and taking care of other technical tasks. This frees up the photographer to focus on capturing the best possible images. An assistant can also help the photographer by getting candid shots of guests and other important details, allowing the photographer to focus on the main event.

 

In addition to the practical benefits, having an assistant can also help to put couples at ease. A photographer working alone may not be able to be in two places at once, but an assistant can help to ensure that all important moments are captured.

 

Overall, whether or not a wedding photographer needs an assistant will depend on the specific needs and circumstances of the wedding. Some photographers may prefer to work alone, while others may find that an assistant is an invaluable asset on the wedding day. It is always a good idea to discuss your needs and preferences with your photographer before the big day.

4) Do I need to know how many Years of Experience the photographer has?

 

It is important to consider a wedding photographer's experience before hiring them for your big day.

 

The number of years a wedding photographer has been in business can be an indicator of their level of experience, but it is not the only factor to consider. A photographer who has been in business for many years may have a lot of experience, but they may also be more in demand and have a higher price point.

 

Here are a few key things to consider when checking a photographer's experience:

 

The number of weddings photographed: The number of weddings a photographer has photographed can be a good indicator of their level of experience. However, it is important to note that this is not the only factor to consider.

 

Quality of work: In addition to the number of weddings photographed, it is important to look at the quality of the photographer's work. Review their portfolio and ask to see full wedding albums to get a sense of their style and the overall quality of their images.

 

Professionalism: A photographer's professionalism is also an important consideration. Look for photographers who are reliable, responsive, and able to work effectively with other vendors and professionals.

 

Specialties: Some photographers may specialize in specific areas, such as destination weddings, elopements, or intimate weddings. Consider whether the photographer's specialties align with your needs and preferences.



It is important to remember that experience is not the only factor to consider when choosing a wedding photographer. It is also important to look at the photographer's portfolio and style and to make sure they are a good fit for your specific needs and preferences.

 

In general, a photographer who has been in business for at least 5-10 years is likely to have a good amount of experience and be comfortable handling the various challenges and demands that can come up on a wedding day.

5) Ask how many weddings the photographer has under his belt.

 

The number of weddings a photographer has photographed can be an indicator of their level of experience, but it is not the only factor to consider. A photographer who has shot a large number of weddings may have a lot of experience, but they may also be more in demand and have a higher price point.

 

It is important to remember that experience is not the only factor to consider when choosing a wedding photographer. It is also important to look at the photographer's portfolio and style and to make sure they are a good fit for your specific needs and preferences.

 

In general, a photographer who has shot at least 50 weddings is likely to have a good amount of experience and be comfortable handling the various challenges and demands that can come up on a wedding day. However, it is always a good idea to ask the photographer about their specific experience and to discuss your needs and expectations with them before making a final decision.

 

6) Should I ask to see wedding album samples before I sign the contract?

 

When choosing a wedding photographer, it is important to consider the quality of the albums and materials used. A high-quality album will not only showcase the images from your big day in the best possible way, but it will also be a treasured keepsake that you can look back on for years to come.

 

Yes, it is completely appropriate to ask a potential wedding photographer if they have full wedding albums available of some of their recent weddings. This can be a useful way to get a sense of the photographer's style and the quality of their work.

 

There are a few key factors to consider when it comes to the quality of wedding albums:

 

Materials: The materials used to make the album should be of high quality and able to withstand wear and tear over time. Look for albums made from acid-free paper and durable covers, such as leather or high-quality fabric.

Printing: The printing quality of the album should be excellent, with sharp, vibrant colors and a high level of detail. Look for albums that are printed using professional-grade equipment and processes.

Layout and design: The layout and design of the album should be visually appealing and cohesive, with images arranged in a way that tells the story of your big day. Look for photographers who offer a range of layout and design options and are open to working with you to create an album that reflects your personal style.

Customization: The album should be customizable to a certain extent, allowing you to choose the number of images, the size of the album, and any additional features, such as personalized cover designs or special paper finishes.

 

Overall, the quality of the albums and materials used by your wedding photographer is an important factor to consider when choosing a photographer. Be sure to ask about the materials and processes used to create the albums, and ask to see samples of previous work to get a sense of the quality and style of the photographer's albums.

7) Have you ever photographed at my wedding Venue?

It can be beneficial if your wedding photographer has previously worked at your wedding venue, as they will have an understanding of the layout and lighting conditions of the space. This can be especially helpful if the venue has unique features or challenges that the photographer needs to be aware of.

However, it is not necessarily a deal breaker if your photographer has not worked at your specific venue before. Many photographers are used to working in a variety of locations and are able to adapt to new spaces quickly. In fact, some photographers may even welcome the opportunity to work in a new venue and see it as a chance to create unique and memorable images.

When choosing a wedding photographer, it is important to consider their overall experience and style, rather than just their experience at a specific venue. Be sure to review the photographer's portfolio and ask about their approach to shooting in different locations.

Ultimately, the most important factor is finding a photographer who is a good fit for your needs and whose work you love. If you feel confident in the photographer's ability to capture beautiful images at your wedding, regardless of their experience at your specific venue, they may be the right choice for you.

 

8) Can I hire a photographer that has never worked with my wedding planner?

Yes, it is possible to hire a wedding photographer who has never worked with your wedding planner before. While it can be helpful if a photographer has previously worked with your wedding planner, as they may already have a working relationship and understanding of each other's style and preferences, it is not necessarily a requirement.

In fact, many photographers are used to working with a variety of wedding planners and are able to adapt to new situations and coordinate with different professionals effectively. A good photographer will be able to communicate effectively with your wedding planner and other vendors to ensure that all aspects of your wedding run smoothly.

When choosing a wedding photographer, it is important to consider their overall experience and style, rather than just their experience working with specific vendors. Be sure to review the photographer's portfolio and ask about their approach to working with different professionals.

Ultimately, the most important factor is finding a photographer who is a good fit for your needs and whose work you love. If you feel confident in the photographer's ability to capture beautiful images at your wedding and to work effectively with your wedding planner and other vendors, they may be the right choice for you.

 

9) What is normally included in wedding photography packages: 

 

Wedding photographers normally offer STANDARD and FULL coverage

 

A STANDARD wedding photography package typically includes the following:

  • Coverage of the wedding ceremony and reception by the photographer
  • A set of edited, high-resolution images from the wedding
  • An online gallery or physical proof book for viewing and selecting images
  • A print release, allowing the couple to print their own images

 

There may also be add-ons available for an additional fee, make sure you check with the photographer before signing the contract.

 

Now a FULL coverage wedding photography package typically includes everything included in a standard package, as well as additional coverage time and a wider range of services and products.

 

Typically, a FULL-coverage wedding photography package will include:

 

  • Coverage of the entire wedding day, from the start of preparations to the end of the reception
  • Two photographers to capture different angles and moments
  • A set of edited, high-resolution images from the wedding
  • An online gallery or physical proof book for viewing and selecting images
  • A print release, allowing the couple to print their own images
  • An engagement photo session
  • A custom wedding album or photo book
  • Professional retouching or editing of select images
  • In addition to these items, a full coverage package may also include additional add-ons such as a slideshow or video compilation of the images, additional prints or photo products, and professional framing or mounting of the images.

 

It's important to discuss the specific details and options with the photographer to determine which package or add-ons best meet your needs and budget.

10) Can I customize a wedding photography package to meet my needs?

 

Yes, many wedding photographers offer customizable packages to meet the specific needs and preferences of their clients. When you meet with a photographer to discuss your wedding photography, you can let them know exactly what you're looking for and they can create a package that includes the services and coverage you need.

 

See below some things you may be able to customize in a wedding photography package:

 

Coverage time: You can choose how many hours you want the photographer to be present at your wedding.

Number of photographers: Some packages include multiple photographers, which can be helpful for capturing different angles and perspectives of your wedding.

Prints and albums: You may be able to customize the size and number of prints or choose from different album options.

Digital images: Some photographers include a certain number of digital images in their packages, and you may be able to purchase additional images if desired.

Engagement shoots: Many photographers offer engagement shoots as an add-on to their wedding packages.

 

 

11) How many hours are normally included in a wedding photography package and what happens if we need more time?

 

The number of hours included in a wedding photography package can vary depending on the photographer and the package you choose. Some photographers offer packages with 6-8 hours of coverage, while others may offer packages with up to 12 hours of coverage, however, in Ireland it’s very common that full wedding photography coverage begins 2 hours before the ceremony and goes until the first dance of 10 pm.

It's a good idea to think about how much coverage you'll need based on the schedule of your wedding day. If you're having a full day of events, such as getting ready in the morning, a ceremony, and a reception, you'll likely need more coverage. On the other hand, if your wedding is a shorter, more intimate affair, you may not need as much coverage.

If you need more time than what's included in your package, you can usually purchase additional hours from the photographer. It's a good idea to discuss your coverage needs with the photographer before booking to make sure you have enough time to capture all of the special moments of your wedding.

Why is wedding photography so expensive?

 Before you ask yourself how much does a wedding photographer cost in Ireland?” you might want to ask yourself how much wedding photography gear costs! If you have never shopped cameras and accessories, it might surprise you to learn that it’s not unusual for wedding photographers to show up to the big day with €20,000 worth of gear. And that gear doesn’t last forever! Camera technology quickly becomes outdated while needing regular care and replacement, which is a major factor in why wedding photography is so expensive.

 
While package options vary considerably and you will find a wide range of skills amongst the Irish wedding photographers out there, the average price of wedding photography usually ranges from €1,500 to €4,000.

2) Why hiring a good photographer should be on top of my budget plan?

 

There are many reasons why brides may regret not spending more on wedding photography.

 

Wedding Photography is a lasting investment: While other wedding expenses, such as flowers and decorations, may only last for a few days, wedding photography captures the memories of your special day and allows you to relive those moments for years to come. As a result, many brides find that investing in high-quality photography is worth the extra expense.

 

Photography is an important part of the wedding day: Photography is an important part of the wedding day experience, as it allows you to capture and preserve the memories of the day. If the photography is not up to par, it can be disappointing and may not capture the memories and emotions of the day in the way that you had hoped.

 

Quality varies among photographers: Like any other profession, there is a range of quality among photographers. Hiring a more experienced or reputable photographer may result in higher quality photographs, as they have the skills and expertise to capture the best shots and create beautiful, timeless images.

 

Photography is a personal choice: Ultimately, the decision to invest in wedding photography is a personal one, and the amount you spend will depend on your budget and your priorities. However, for many brides, the memories and emotions captured in the wedding photographs are priceless, and they regret not investing more in high-quality photography to capture those memories.

3) Should I hire only 1  photographer or 2 is more ideal?

 

When it comes to hiring a photographer for your wedding, one of the key decisions you'll need to make is whether to hire one or two photographers. Here are a few things to consider when making this decision:

 

Budget: One of the main factors to consider when deciding on the number of photographers to hire is your budget. Hiring two photographers may be more expensive than hiring just one, so it's important to consider your budget when making this decision.

 

Coverage: Another factor to consider is the amount of coverage you'll need. If you're having a small, intimate wedding with fewer guests and events, one photographer may be sufficient to capture all the important moments. However, if you're having a larger wedding with multiple events and a lot of guests, hiring two photographers may be a good idea to ensure that all the important moments are captured.

 

Style: Consider the style of photography you prefer. If you prefer a more candid, spontaneous approach, one photographer may be sufficient. However, if you prefer more posed, traditional shots, hiring two photographers may be helpful to ensure that all the important shots are captured.

 

Personal preference: Ultimately, the decision to hire one or two photographers should be based on your personal preference. Consider your priorities and what is most important to you when making this decision.

 

No matter how many photographers you decide to hire, it's important to choose a photographer whose style and approach align with your vision for your wedding photographs.

Define Your Style

When you are working with a wedding photographer, it is so important to define your style. We can’t read your mind, so never assume that anything can go unspoken. Be crystal clear about what you love and what you hate.

Do you like candid shots? Traditional posed photos? Unconventional, artistic styles? Find examples of your favorite shots and explain why you love them. Show your wedding photographer shots that you don’t like as well, and clarify why they aren’t your style.

Consider If Their style Is Compatibility with what you are looking for

It is your big day! You have probably been dreaming about your wedding for many years and have a vision of how you would like it to be. From the broader atmosphere to the little details, it’s all about creating a unique wedding day. That is precisely why it is so important to have your vision reflected in your wedding photography.

While you will want a photographer who can make some contributions towards the general theme of the photos, it is imperative to have a wedding photographer who both respects and fully understands your goals.

While you are on the hunt for a wedding photographer in Dublin, you will be amazed at how many different styles there are out there, and that’s great! It is essential, however, to find someone who will listen to your needs and wants. Your wedding photographer needs to understand thoroughly who and what you want to have photographed.

It is essential to make sure that all of these ideas are discussed with the photographer beforehand, in what is basically a brainstorming session complete for sharing of details on the wedding and what needs to be covered. You will want to look for a photographer who is willing to listen to your vision for your wedding, then build upon that on your big day.

While it is true that a photographer is expected to know how to make you, your friends, and your family look good on your big wedding day; it is also vital that you make sure that your photographer understands how you want your wedding photos to come across. Everybody has a different idea of beauty, and it is vital to make sure that you are on the same page. That said, if you want to leave these details up to the photographer, that is totally fine as well. If you love their previous work, trust your photographer, and don’t have a specific vision for every detail, just let them know! Most wedding photographers are thrilled to have some additional creative freedom, but just be clear on how much freedom you would like them to have.

 

 

 

 

Here are 7 common styles of wedding photographer

 

1) Documentary: Documentary wedding photographers aim to capture candid, spontaneous moments as they happen, rather than posing the subjects or directing the action. Documentary photographers often use a photojournalistic approach and aim to capture the emotions and events of the day as they unfold.

 

2) Artistic: Artistic wedding photographers aim to create unique and expressive images that showcase the couple's personalities and styles. Artistic photographers often use a variety of creative techniques, such as unusual compositions, lighting, and editing, to create striking and memorable images. Artistic photographers may also use props and backdrops that are unconventional or unexpected and may take a more experimental approach to capture the images of the day.

 

3) Photojournalistic: Photojournalistic wedding photographers aim to capture candid and spontaneous moments as they happen, using a documentary approach. Photojournalistic photographers often use a candid, unobtrusive style to capture the emotions and events of the day, and may use a mix of posed and candid shots to tell the story of the wedding. Photojournalistic photographers may also use a variety of techniques, such as using available light or shooting from different angles, to create dynamic and expressive images.

 

4) Fine art: Fine art wedding photographers aim to create artistic, editorial-style images that are inspired by fashion and fine art photography. Fine art photographers often use creative compositions, lighting, and editing techniques to create dramatic, artistic images.

 

5) Traditional: Traditional wedding photographers aim to capture classic, posed images of the couple, their families, and their friends. Traditional photographers often use a formal, posed approach, and may use traditional backdrops and props.

 

6) Lifestyle: Lifestyle wedding photographers aim to capture natural, candid images that capture the personality and style of the couple and their wedding. Lifestyle photographers often use a relaxed, candid approach and aim to capture the atmosphere and emotions of the day.

 

7) Cinematic: Cinematic wedding photographers aim to create images that look like stills from a film or video. Cinematic photographers often use creative compositions, lighting, and editing techniques to create dramatic, cinematic images.
