documentary wedding photography

by

It’s an overused phrase, but it’s also what we build our foundation on – not being keen on being in front of the camera myself, I fully know the importance of making the photos as easy and natural as possible, plus it also get the “real” emotions and laughs and, in the process hopefully captures your personality.

Don’t just take my word for it though – I recently had the pleasure of shooting Vanessa & Daniels wedding down in Co Limerick and, although only having seen a few shots, I was thrilled to hear from them :

“Thank you so much again for everything Kevin, nothing I say can do justice to how brilliant you were. Was just talking earlier about how we didn’t even realise some of these photos were being taken, you were so natural and not intrusive at all – it made for some of the most amazing shots because I feel like you really captured the essence of myself and Dan’s relationship ?“

An overused phrase, but an underappreciated art.

When I shoot a wedding, apart from the traditional “must have” shots, along with some timeless couple photos I love to include as many candid or documentary shots as possible. These photos capture the little moments, the unexpected laughs, the tender interactions and tell a different side of your days story.

I tend to keep these photos black and white, no distracting colours, just a classic image telling a story or, as they say, capturing a moment.

The key to a lot of these images is to try be in the right place, at the right time, so whereas they might not be technically perfect they provide exactly what you are looking for.

To consider documentary / candid images as supplementary to the “main” images is incorrect in my opinion. I actually feel that they are complimentary and help build up a true reflection and storyline of your big day.

Had a wonderful day shooting Niamh & Cullens wedding this summer. From the warm welcome, the endless laughs, the tears (good ones !) the attention to detail, the fab venue and the stunning weather it really was a day to remember. Hopefully the attached photos will give you an Idea. We specialise in natural and relaxed wedding photography, documenting your day through timeless images.

Had a wonderful day in Castle Durrow shooting Helena & Joes wedding – even better to receive some lovely kind words :

“Can’t recommend Kevin highly enough. He captured so many lovely moments throughout the day and slotted seamlessly into the background, to the point were I actually couldn’t remember where he was during the ceremony. It was only when I saw the amazing photos that I realised that he had a birds eye view and caught so many of the candid moments. He put us all at ease and was great to have around on the day.”

I had actually shot Joes brothers wedding a few years ago, and am in fact shooting Helenas sisters wedding in 2023 so I must be doing something right !!!

Hope you enjoy the small selection of images below.

I was delighted to be asked to shoot Therese & Robs wedding next year in Horetown House and really excited to be asked to do an engagement shoot down in Carrigfoyle Quarry, a spot I had never visited.Having photographed the weddings of both of Robs sisters we had met before and they knew my style but it was fun to meet up for an enjoyable and relaxed walk, with a few photos thrown in !!!

“Hi Kevin,

Thank you so much for our photos, we are so delighted with them. We really enjoyed our time with you that day. It was lovely and relaxed and great to spend some time with you before our wedding next year.
Thanks Again,
Therese & Rob”

Sometimes you have days when everything falls perfectly into place. From the moment I met Hayley and Paddy we just clicked and throughout the day we had some great laughs which made the photos so much easier. They definitely wanted a more relaxed vibe but of course, with the backdrop of Carton House we made sure to get a few fab couple shots. I was well chuffed to receive a wonderful email from Hayley after she received her photos – makes everything worthwhile 🙂
