My Husband and I had Viv as our photographer on our Wedding Day. We were blown away by the finished product.
Viv arrive at my parents house at 10am that morning and didn’t leave the venue after midnight well beyond our expectations. Before our Wedding Day Viv also brought us out for a pre wedding photo shoot to get us both used to being in front of the camera, which again was well pass our expectations. Overall myself and my Husband couldn’t of had a better photographer and our wedding album is out of this World. We recommend Viv to anyone.- John Paul & Amanda Byrne,

Wow, wow, wow! When the photos of Cian arrived I could have cried with happiness. They are just amazing. Thank you for the whole experience. From the moment you entered the house it was like having a good friend call over. You are so warm, relaxed, friendly, creative, imaginative and your eye for detail is amazing. It is clear your experience with photographing young babies and relaxing their frazzled new mums!! The photoshoot was a really fun, relaxed afternoon and to top that you have given me photos I will treasure forever. We will without doubt seeing you soon.

Viv took some amazing photos at our wedding ... he was efficient, professional but very relaxed and it certainly showed in every photo he took. Viv takes the right photos & doesn't waste time taking numerous photos in different poses, only a professional photographer knows how to do this. He tried out some really fun photos, but also some photos which we used for family and framed photos. I would highly recommend Viv for any photography service you require.
Maternity & Baby Shoot - FAB!!
Thanks so much to Viv for shooting both our maternity photos and the early arrival of our little daughter. The photos are beautiful and are ones we will treasure forever. Viv is fantastic, really put us at ease and is so easy to work with. Worth every cent and more. Couldn't recommend more highly.
Fantastic and we would highly recommend him.

Amazing - Those pictures will last forever.
Hi Viv
We would both like to thank you for all you have done in helping make our wedding day such a memorable one. Theresa and i had spoken to several photographers before meeting up with you and as soon as we finished our cup of tea with you we knew we had found the right photographer.
From that first meeting right up until our wedding day you were extremely professional in all your dealings with us and the manner in which you kept in contact with us to let us know what was going on was very much appreciated, we were especially pleased with your ideas on the day and the way in which you were so creative with the finished wedding album. I know Theresa said this to you before but she asked me to thank you again for your cool relaxed manner on the day, Theresa reckons that because you are such a calm person you really put her at ease and thats what helped her get up the aisle {I think i need to thank you for that too ha ha}.
Our wedding album and parent albums look fantastic and we really can't thank you enough for everything you have done for us, the day has come and gone but those pictures will last forever.
Mr & Mrs Theresa and Darren Byrne.
