Steven Kelly Photography

We couldn’t recommend our wedding photographer Steven highly enough. From the moment we booked him, he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

On the day itself, he brought such great energy, fun, and calmness to everything. He captured fantastic photos throughout and made everyone feel completely at ease. He was so friendly with all our guests, and people were constantly commenting on how lovely he was to be around.

Steven went above and beyond in every way — even ending up dancing with our flower girl and somehow finding himself as part of my first dance while we were waiting for the groom!

Nothing was ever a problem for him, and he was always smiling and full of positivity. We can’t thank him enough for the incredible memories he’s given us through his photos.

We had Steven as our wedding photographer at Mount Wolseley Hotel, Tullow. From the very beginning I knew we made the perfect choice. Steven walked us through everything a few days before the wedding. He asked us what we would like and even added in his own suggestions, which turn out to be absolutely stunning. He made everybody so relaxed and at ease all day, especially our 2 daughters who had taken a shine to him straight away!
I would 100% recommend Steven as your wedding photographer.
***** stars all around!

We had Steven as our photographer on the 24-10-24. Where do I even start, he was outstanding, from the very 1st email I knew he was the one for us, very easy to talk to and communicate with and always answered every email or txt message
The morning of the wedding from the moment he walked through the door he was like one of the family, made everyone feel so comfortable and he was so happy and friendly and put everyone at ease, it felt like there was absolutely no pressure at all he just rolled with us and took some amazing shots.
He was absolutely amazing with our 5 year old daughter, I thought the day was going to be abit overwhelming for her and she might not want all the pictures and poses but she was Stevens bestie within 10 mins and that was it she was happy out, he had great time for her and had her laughing and enjoying everything.
Everyone commented on the day at how brilliant he was and how at ease he had everyone and the laugh we all had with him.
He went above and beyond with getting the pictures to us in record time, the day after he sent me 4 pictures as a teaser and then another 4 a few days later, it was lovely to see them and keep the excitement going, the link to the online gallery of all pictures was sent to us 9 days after the wedding and 14 days from the wedding a beautiful package arrived with our USB key and some prints. It was presented in the most beautiful wedding keepsake box, I was blown away. His pictures where incredible, he definitely has an eye for an amazing shot and I adored the relaxed in the moment pictures that he got loads of.
I can't recommend Steven enough, if you are lucky enough to have him as your photographer you won't be disappointed. I don't think I can ever thank him enough for the memories he has given us and the fun and laughter he brought to your special day.

Steven was a amazing on our big day. He captured all our special moments, edited them and got them to us so quickly. He was so great meeting with his beforehand to find out what we needed and he organised everyone and his calm, patient approach is just what every couple needs on their big day. Highly recommend

We couldn’t recommend Steven enough… So friendly and a great laugh … He guided us through the whole day , took on board ideas we had for our photos , and put his own twist to them too… So happy with how the pictures turned out … Highly recommend thanks so much Steven for being part of our day

My husband and I could not have been happier with Stevens work! He blends into the day while also making sure you don't forget to capture any of the important moments of the day! Our wedding was perfect and he captured it beautifully! Steven also had a quick turn around on pictures which was just so amazing, we cannot wait to show our Canadian family (once all are home from travelling). I could praise Steven forever, I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a photographer, especially for a wedding. Thank you Steven for everything you did, we are forever grateful!

We would like to thank Steven for his services. We had a very small, intimate family wedding in Johnstown Castle. We arent good at posing for pictures but Steven put us at ease from the beginning. He had the eye for all the potential shots and managed to capture the best moments from start to finish. We briefly told him about our big day and he put together a full plan that was tailored to us. We didnt have to do anything but to be in the moment, he had the rest done. Pictures turned out fantastic. We can only recommend him, absolutely fantastic job he has done. Thank you Steven!

Steven recently did our photography for our wedding in May and we would highly recommend.
Steven was friendly, professional and very relaxed throughout the whole day.
He was very understanding when I became very overwhelmed and nervous and gave a very calming vibe to all family and friends having their photograph taken.
This has shown through on the final results of our wedding photos and we are extremely delighted with them.
I would highly recommend booking Steven as a wedding photographer.

Steven was just amazing on the day of my wedding. From start to finish. From the word go he was on his feet all day none stop taken pictures. I gave him a list of pictures I wanted outside of the normal wedding pictures and he delivered. Each & every shot. He was very good with my four kids (10,5,2&1). They all loved him. He has a gift for what he does. I would HIGHLY recommend Steven for your special day. Thanks again for your hard work and for capturing some very special moments for us to look at in the future.

Steven was the best photographer for our wedding, he put together everything we asked for into the package we chose, he arrived early at the venue, he came and took pre ceremony pictures all extra touches himself, very attentive and professional, made it run so smoothly, would highly recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend Steve. So chilled and layed back, exactly what we wanted. Fab pics and made us feel very relaxed and focused on what we wanted, less fuss natural pics. He tailored a package for exactly what we wanted. My cousin has already booked him for her wedding too. Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone for any future events ????????????

We don't even know where to begin with showing how happy we were with having Steven as our photographer for our big day. From first contact with Steven he put us right at ease and we knew we had made the best decision. We had a lovely sit down about a week before the wedding and went through the run through of the day so we knew the flow of how it would go. From bridal/groom prep, to the ceremony and location photos at the Delta Sensory Garden and then back to the Talbot for the reception the day could not have gone better. Steven was an absolute gentleman and put everyone at ease straight away. We cannot recommend him enough for any event that you are looking to book a photographer for. Thank you Steven for helping us through everything we will forever be in your debt.

Steven was absolutely great to work with. He was relaxed and easy going. He's a very talented photographer, he understood all our needs and captured our wedding day brilliantly in all the pictures he took. We had excellent communication from him from the day we booked all the way up until we got our photos. We 100% recommend steven as your photographer for your special day.

From start to finish Steven was an absolute pleasure to have part of our big day. Our wedding was quite untraditional and he was easy going and helpful with ways to capture the best moments. High quality photos and professional mannerism but still had a laugh and approachable face behind the camera. Great experience

We were undecided about having a photographer but we're delighted we did. Steven was enthusiastic from the beginning, and throughout the process. We met at our venue in advance so we could personally choose where we wanted our photos. Steven made everyone feel comfortable on the day, he was relaxed but professional and made us feel at ease. The quality of our photos are amazing, we are so happy with them. We have lots of choice and options. Overall would highly recommend Steven for photography

I can't speak highly enough of Steven, he was brilliant from the minute I made contact with him. He was so enthusiastic and was able to give me great advice from the off on our photography. He was also super organised and had made contact with our various venues within a day or so of our first conversation. On the day itself, he was great, capturing natural photos of our families and putting us all at ease. We are delighted with our photos and he is incredible value for money. I would highly recommend Steven for any important event.

Well where to start with Stephen,from the very beginning he was brilliant very quick at responding and so friendly. The day of the wedding from meeting until the end he was amazing. He made us feel so at ease getting our pictures taken we had some laughs also he was so friendly and professional from start to finish. The few pictures I got for a quick peek had me in tears so I'm so looking forward to seeing the rest of them I've no doubt they will be amazing. Thank you again so so much for everything. Serena&Rob.

Steven was very easy to deal with and very accommodating with our requests. We were hardly aware that he was even there on the day as he was so discreet. We got to interact with him after the ceremony and he guided us easily through all the family and couple photographs with best lighting and backdrops in mind. He made it very easy for us all and was very professional and nice to deal with. Our photos were superb, with a goregeous selection of colour and black and white photos. He also took some amazing posed and natural photographs. We particularly loved the natural ones. He took lots of photos of us when we weren't looking (and presumably deleted the bad ones, as the ones he sent us were all really beautiful). We couldn't be happier to have had Steven take our wedding photographs. We have so many gorgeous photos to chose from for our wedding frames. We highly recommend Steven and we feel that we got great value for money too.

What can we say about Steven and the service he provides? There really aren't enough words to express how absolutely over the moon we are - but we will try our best.

My new hubby and I were in an awful predicament four days before our wedding as our wedding photographer, who had been booked for 4 years, messaged to say they had covid. Needless to say, we were panicking and trying to reach out to different family members for some assistance. A friend of mine directed me to the ?Help! I'm getting married? Facebook page and I posted our situation. I also used their suppliers page and I found Steven on there and messaged, not seeing he had also messaged me on the Facebook post too!

We got to chatting, Steven is so responsive and really took an interest in my groom and I's wedding vision. Which was relaxed but with some important family shots. Steven told us about his experience and directed us to his instagram and FB pages. Straight away we knew we wanted him by just how personal his pictures are. His framing on individuals is spot on and he captures his subjects smile so naturally that we knew we would all be at ease with him around.

We spoke at length on the phone discussing what we as a couple would like, about how we met and got engaged and then Steven told us a bit more about himself. We organised the time for the day of the wedding and we looked forward to meeting him.

The morning of the wedding, Steven walked into the kitchen of my grandmothers house - full of women! He was just as we expected, friendly, approachable and professional. He began by taking some lovely natural action shots of me getting my make up done. Not only that, he included everyone and that was exactly what we wanted. A wedding is a family affair after all! Steven then set up some lovely shots of the wedding accessories and parts of the garden that were sentimental for myself. It's was all so well coordinated and he never seemed phased by my asking for certain shots. Steven also was keen to capture the emotion of day and everyone was comfortable to show it in-front of him - including my dad.
Steven then travelled to the ceremony venue to meet my husband and as soon as Ian and I had a moment to ourselves, it was a very sweet ?you look beautiful? followed by an ?oh my goodness! We were so lucky to find Steven! He's amazing!?. That was the opinion all around for the rest of the day too!

What really made the day for us having Steven as our photographer was, the fact he made sure to pull us away from our guests for some pictures of just Ian and I. It didn't feel like a chore or a process we had to go through for the sake of it. But a chance for us as newly weds to have some time, to chat, laugh, look at our beautiful venue and just capture US.

Steven stayed with us until the Father/Daughter dance and once he left everyone was asking for him. Everyone mentioned how lovely, relaxed, friendly and professional he is. We have had our shots back and all the above is definitely reflected! We don't know which to pick to print as they are all so carefully captured and really tell the story of the day!

10/10 for Steven. Would 100% recommend and we wish him every success in his photography!
