From our first email to receiving all our amazing photographs, Kathryn was honestly a dream to deal with. On the day she was a joy to have around, she made us all feel so relaxed and wanted to make sure we enjoyed it all but at the same time ensured she took as many photos as possible and a lot more too! We love showing off our photos to family and friends and she was so quick at getting them to us and sent us a fantastic slideshow of the best ones, which was super to put up on our socials and send to guests via WhatsApp. We highly recommend anyone looking for a photographer to choose Kathryn, you wont regret it!

Karen McDermott Timmins

We just received our USB and my god all the emotion has come flooding back , Kathryn captured everything! She was so helpful, obliging, thoughtful had great creativity! Our wedding wouldn't have flowed half as well if it wasn't for her knowledge and professionalism. And the pictures what can I say we're beyond happy. We'll have every wall in the house covered! I love them all ! They're so clear and so perfect!

Molly & John

Kathryn was super easy to communicate with throughout the process. She was always easy to contact and used WhatsApp which I found really helpful. She was so full of fun and joy on the wedding day and made sure she got loads of great shots. She had some great ideas of where to get pictures. She made us a gorgeous slide show of our pictures and got a great selection to us really quickly after the wedding.

Siobhán & Tim

We were blown away by Kathryn and her fantastic photography on our wedding day. Kathryn was able to capture so many intimate moments, fantastic formal portraits and breathtaking scenery shots, she really is so talented. Beyond that Kathryn made the day, she was so easy to get on with and we had such a laugh, honestly we will treasure the day forever. We have already recommended Kathryn to a few friends! We look forward to the photoshoots we are sure to have together with Kathryn into the future.

Enda & Emily

We highly recommend Kathryn. She is a seasoned pro with decades of experience (I later found out also did the wedding photography for my hairstylist). The husband and I both hate having our picture taken, and she made us feel at ease. To be honest, we did not enjoy posing and still do not, but Kathryn made the experience as painless as possible, and now we have absolutely gorgeous pictures to last a lifetime, including a group shot of all 120+ guests! She was super responsive, and got the pictures over to us in record time. If you are considering booking Kathryn, do not hesitate.

Fern

Kathryn was fantastic for our summer wedding. Although we didn't get the weather Kathryn was able to use her creativity and thoughtfulness to capture amazing shots throughout the day.

We are so delighted that we chose Kathryn as our photographer for our big day. Kathryn made us feel very much at ease on the day. She was fun, friendly and ensured that everything ran smoothly.

What a fantastic keepsake to have, the album was put together beautifully capturing so many special memories. We are very grateful to Kathryn for her exceptional work which we will treasure forever.

Kate & Cathal

Choosing Kathryn as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. As we were planning an intimate wedding with close family and friends, we wanted to make sure we really connected with our photographer and that it was someone we'd all enjoy spending the day with. From our first meeting with Kathryn we got along really well - we loved how excited she was to hear our ideas and how she really tried to get to know us as a couple. On the day, she put us right at ease and we had such fun with her. Kathryn's bubbly exuberance and kind consideration meant that she fitted right in and her photos captured all our loved ones perfectly. We can't stop looking at the beautiful photos - we'll treasure them forever. All the love, joy and emotion of the day were captured so perfectly. Thank you Kathryn! You were fantastic!!
