About Kevin | Documentary Wedding Photographer Dublin

A Little About My Work

I'm one of Ireland's most internationally recognised documentary wedding photographers, ranking among the TOP 30 worldwide and TOP 3 in Ireland. (Read more on my [Wedding Photographer Ireland page”. As former President of the Irish Professional Photographers and Videographers Association (IPPVA) from 2019-2021 and founder of Doc Day, one of Europe's largest wedding photography conferences, I combine industry leadership with artistic excellence.

But that's just the professional side. The real story starts with curiosity.

How It All Began

I've always been curious. I was “that” kid who wanted to know how things worked and when I was around ten or eleven, my neighbour Michael let me loose in his attic darkroom. He was in his seventies, retired and had a stack of old cameras and a telescope he used to photograph the stars and space. I LOVED it.

I left photography for a while in college but came back to it in my late twenties and since then have never really put the camera down. Through a series of lovely events, I find myself a decade into documentary wedding photography, married to one of the world's best documentary wedding photographers (Annie) and being a dad to two of the loveliest boys, Max and Joshie.

And to be honest Annie & the boys changed everything.

What Really Drives Me

After a while, photography stopped being about the "how" or the technical. I see how fast life moves, how fleeting it all is, and simply put; I love that well-crafted photography can freeze those little moments.

While I'm grateful for the awards and recognition from Fearless Photographers, This Is Reportage, and the WPJA, what really drives me is capturing the real story of your wedding day. The quiet in-between bits, the unrepeatable flashes of emotion, the beauty you didn't even know was happening.

My Approach

My style is relaxed and natural. I won't ask you to fake a laugh or "do that again." I'm there to document your wedding as it really was. I believe the best photographs happen when you can forget the camera even exists.

I like to blend in with your guests, move quietly through your day, and just let the moments unfold naturally. Weddings are typically joy-filled days where people are happy and looking their best. A documentary approach tends to reflect this - genuine and timeless.

My work has taken me across Ireland and internationally, from intimate city celebrations in Dublin to breathtaking castle weddings throughout the Irish countryside. I know my venues well and have photographed in almost every county in Ireland.

Why Couples Choose Me

The couples I work with want more than just a record of how their day looked. They want to remember how it felt. Couples tend to say that they hardly noticed me on their wedding day, and I pride myself on being present but unobtrusive.

It's not a production. It's your story.

Life Beyond Weddings

When I'm not photographing weddings, you'll often find me with Annie and our boys, exploring new locations or working on personal projects. Through Doc Day and other speaking engagements I also love sharing knowledge and building community with photographers across Europe and helping shape the future of wedding photography.

I’m also a black belt in Brasilian Jiu Jitsu. I’m not sure how much that matters to the wedding day though :)

Let's Tell Your Story

If you're looking for a Dublin wedding photographer who will document your day with honesty and artistry, I'd love to hear from you. Every wedding is unique, and I approach each celebration with fresh eyes and genuine curiosity.

And I'd be honoured to tell it.
