Brenda was absolutely fantastic from start to finish, we couldn't speak more highly of her.

When we met Brenda for the first time in Starbucks she made us feel at ease and we knew she would be the right choice.

We weren't wrong because on the day you didn't even know she was there, she was so unobtrusive and took exactly the shots we were looking for (I'm a wedding coordinator too so I had specific's in mind).

All in all we were delighted with both Brenda herself, her wonderful assistant on the day and the photos provided. Our only problem now is trying to select only 80 for the album :)

What can I say. Brenda was so accommodating and professional with a very relaxed persona. Having a shy husband, I wasn't sure how any photographer could capture our day. However, you did that and more. Every detail, every moment, every tear, and every smile. To be honest I hardly saw the camera on the day, you allowed us to get on with the formalities and fun without stopping us once to pose. Exactly what we wanted and we are thrilled with our beautiful pictures that we will have forever. Thank you so much.
Response from Brenda McGuire Photography
You're so very welcome Laura. I'm delighted to have captured your day and go unnoticed in the process. So many people aren't comfortable in front of the camera and it's important to remember this. It doesn't mean you can't get photos of them but maybe best to stick to a candid/documentary approach. People always look more relaxed when they don't know their photo is being taken. Enjoy the photos and the memories and all the best for you and your family in the future. Brenda x

Brenda was amazing. She did such a great job on our photos. She made us feel at ease throughout the day and didn't keep us away from the party for too long.

Couldn't be happier.

Thanks

Brenda did an absolutely amazing job of capturing every special moment for us on our wedding day on the 20 December 2014. She went above and beyond what we ever could have expected and produced the most amazing pictures that we will treasure forever. She was so professional and helpful, an absolute joy to work with. Right from our first meeting with Brenda through to the engagement shoot and on the day of the wedding itself, she built a rapport with us, and was so helpful and caring, which put us at ease on the big day itself as we knew we were in safe hands. I would highly recommend Brenda to anyone looking for a wedding photographer she is so professional, an absolute pleasure to work with.

Brenda is a talented photographer and above all a genuine, caring and lovely person.
She is a true professional, who was at all times helpful, calm, supportive, attentive and great fun to work with. Her sincere and selfless contribution to our day will forever be appreciated by us and never forgotten. Brenda unobtrusively took photographs in the background which made our day one of the most memorable and relaxed days we have ever experienced. Her contribution and hard work has left us with amazing photos to cherish forever and it gives us both great pleasure to wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Brenda was recommended to me through a friend of mine who had booked her for her own wedding a few months previously. Myself and my husband had a particular style of photography in mind which was candid and natural shots. After previously meeting with another photographer, we had been left very disappointed as she didn't listen to what we had in mind but after our initial meeting with Brenda and seeing her porfolio we left very much reassured and confident that she could fulfil our wishes. I checked in with Brenda a few times over the following months coming up to the wedding and she was always so friendly and asked how our plans were coming along. She was very keen to make sure we got the photos that we wanted on our wedding day and asked me for plenty of ideas and suggestions. On the day of the wedding, she gave me a big hug when she arrived which was so lovely and it immediately put at ease. It was like having another friend there. She started work straight away and I barely noticed her snapping away. One thing that really stood out for me was that I had told her that my dad was terrible at posing for (think Chandler from Friends!) so each time she took a photo with him in it she told a few jokes to make him laugh which worked a treat. I was very impressed with how well she was at keeping time management especially with taking the photographs outside. I had told her that we wanted them taken as quickly as possible so we could get back to the party. The day after the wedding I texted her to thank her for everything and asked if there was any chance if we could have a sneak look at the pictures over the next few days. She uploaded some onto her blog on her website that evening. I was thrilled and it was so lovely to put some up on Facebook for people to see the day after the wedding. When we got our CD we were totally blown away with photographs. I absolutely adore every one of them and I am so glad I will have such amazing photographs to look at in many years to come. I cannot recommend Brenda enough. She is a fantastic photographer and such a fun, relaxing person to be around.

I was lucky enough to have Brenda as our photographer on our wedding day in Ballymagarvey Village last December. She was amazing and she made us feel so relaxed!! Unfortunately it lashed rain all day, however this did not effect Brenda as she found so many locations within Ballymagarvey to take fabulous pictures. I will be recommending her to anyone and everyone who asks or is prepared to listen to me!!! Thank you sooooo much Brenda for making our day that extra special!!!!

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for the
excellent photos. We had high expectations and you didn't disappoint.
Christian now understands why I took so long to choose a photographer,
it really does make all the difference. I knew as soon as I spoke to you
that you would be perfect and on the day you were like a friend, we had
a good laugh and you really made us feel at ease and this comes across
in the photos. You really caught the relaxed and fun feel and vibe to
our wedding which is exactly what we wanted.

Within moments of meeting with Brenda we knew she?d be perfect as our Wedding Photographer. Brenda seemed to understand from the outset exactly what we were looking for to capture our big day. Her bubbly personality and professionalism made the entire experience most enjoyable. From the Engagement Shoot to the Wedding Day to the DVD of Photos and then eventually to the Wedding Album every step was an absolute pleasure and the end result of images are truly fantastic ? they?ll be a treasured keepsake. Brenda made us feel very relaxed when all the photos were being taken and she managed to get the ?best side? of us and all of our guests time and time again as she clicked and clicked and clicked! We wish Brenda every success and without hesitation would recommend her
110%!

We hired Brenda for our wedding in October this year. From the moment we met her we knew Brenda was the right photographer for us as we wanted someone with a bright and friendly personality. We sat down with her on that first day to discuss what kind of photographs we wanted, and now we can say that she has delivered exactly what we asked for and more. The photographs she took for our wedding are way beyond what we had hoped for. Brenda made us, and everybody else, feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera, and along with her assistant, they both made sure they had a wide coverage of everything that happened during the day. From group shots, to spontaneous shots of individuals and moments, Brenda impressed us with her talent to spot photo opportunities, and to take these photos with her own stylish flair. We would highly recommend Brenda to anyone who is looking for a friendly, personable, professional, and extremely talented photographer. We could not have asked for a better service and end result. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos.
