An unobtrusive approach:

Your wedding day is a time to immerse yourself in love and joy, surrounded by your loved ones. As your wedding photographer, I believe in blending seamlessly into the background, allowing your day to unfold naturally and uninterrupted. This unobtrusive approach enables me to capture authentic expressions and candid interactions, resulting in photographs that tell the genuine story of your love.

A Comfortable and Relaxing Experience:

Your wedding day should be a joyous occasion where you can fully savour each moment with your loved ones. With this in mind, I prioritize creating a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to be yourself and enjoy your day to the fullest. By understanding your vision, preferences, and unique personalities, I ensure that the images I capture truly reflect your love story. This evokes emotions every time you revisit them.

Create Timeless Memories:

If you envision a wedding photographer who can seamlessly blend into your day, allowing you to savour every moment while capturing the magic, I would be honoured to be a part of your journey. Together, let’s create a timeless collection of photographs that beautifully tell your love story and preserve your cherished memories.

Surprise Professional Wedding Photographer

For those planning a surprise proposal, consider booking a surprise engagement photo session. We will discuss and plan all the details in advance, including the location, time, and date, ensuring complete confidentiality. I will capture the precious moment when you propose to your partner. After that, we can explore ideal locations for intimate photos to share with your loved ones.

Preparing for your Professional Wedding Photographer

I recommend couples wear outfits that feel comfortable and complement each other. Opt for something casual, reflecting your personal style, while maintaining a neat appearance that will stand the test of time.

You can choose any location that suits your personality. Whether it's a serene park, bustling city centre, picturesque beach, or scenic countryside hike, I will adapt to your preferences. If you're camera shy, we can select a tranquil spot that allows for a relaxed and enjoyable photoshoot.

Here are some of my favourite places to shoot: Stephens Green, Malahide Castle, Corkaigh Park, and Phoenix Park.

"We chose Viv to take care of our wedding photography, and it was the best choice we could have made. He has a very professional yet friendly manner which ensures everyone around him is at ease."

Frequently Asked Questions

How would you describe your photography style?2026-04-21T18:14:28+01:00

My style is natural, documentary-led storytelling. I focus on real moments and genuine emotion, capturing your day as it unfolds without forcing poses or interruptions.

Will we feel comfortable in front of the camera?2026-04-21T18:15:00+01:00

Yes — and this is something I prioritise. Most couples aren’t used to being photographed professionally, so I give light direction when needed while keeping everything relaxed and natural so you can enjoy the day.

What if the weather is bad on our wedding day?2026-04-21T18:15:40+01:00

Bad weather is never a problem — it often creates some of the most atmospheric and emotional images. I’m fully prepared for indoor and outdoor conditions and will adjust the approach depending on the day.

How far in advance should we book?2026-04-21T18:16:00+01:00

Most couples book 6–18 months in advance, especially for peak season dates. If your date is important to you, it’s best to enquire early to avoid disappointment.

Do you travel for weddings across Ireland?2026-04-21T18:16:51+01:00

Yes — I photograph weddings across Dublin and throughout Ireland. Travel is always discussed in advance depending on your venue location.

How do you make sure nothing important is missed?2026-04-21T18:17:21+01:00

Before the wedding, we’ll go through your timeline and any key moments or group shots you’d like included. On the day itself, I work attentively and continuously to ensure all important moments are captured as they happen.

Do you help with posing and direction?2026-04-21T18:17:50+01:00

Yes — but in a very natural way. I won’t over-direct your day, but I’ll guide you when needed so you always feel comfortable and look your best without anything feeling staged.
