I am an Irish photographer based in Dublin but provide church and civil ceremony wedding photography nationwide (without surcharges). Flexibility & freedom of choice is important for me and so from the first contact to handing over your wedding memories, I want you to feel relaxed and comfortable and assured of a personal service.

Your wedding day is unique to you and will be a reflection of your style & personality, your dedication to your partner, your family & your guests, therefore I always appreciate the trust shown if chosen to be involved in such a special & personal occasion.

 I will capture the various elements of your day from the excitement of the bridal preparations, the emotion of the creation of your marriage to the celebrations of the 1st dance in a mix of classic and candid images based on our pre-wedding conversations, whilst remembering it is your day to enjoy and have fun.

After you have re-lived your day through the images taken, if required, we will collaborate further to produce your personal heirloom album, as well providing you with digital versions of your images to keep as well as your online gallery for shared viewing.

We had our wedding back in May, and with all the stress leading up to the wedding and trying to organise it from Australia, we didn't have to worry or stress about the photography side of it. David handled everything professionally and was able to quickly adapt to all the curveballs that get thrown on the wedding day.

Sitting down with him and going through all the details he catches your vision of the perfect wedding day and transforms it into the perfect wedding memories and we've come away with photos we absolutely love.

He went above and beyond and even stayed to capture the partying.

He was incredibly easy to work with, responded on time and answered all and any questions we had.

I couldn't thank him enough to be honest.
Response from David McAuley Photography
Thank Lisa, not easy doing it from so far away but all the efforts were well worth it. Great to have so many travel to have the Irish wedding experience.
Regards, David

David was our photographer for our wedding in July, he was absolutely incredible and embraced the whole family and the whole day. He made things very easy for us and captured so many wonderful, beautiful pictures for us to treasure forever. He is very responsive with emails, meetings and took the time to come down and visit the location of the wedding prior to the big day. He was a pleasure to deal with, I have no hesitation in recommending his wonderful services for all you future brides & grooms, you won’t be disappointed. Looking through the photos he took is like reliving our special day again.

If you are looking for a photographer who is more than a background figure, David McAuley is your person! He stayed long past his deadline to capture the joy and magic that was our lovely day of love. The moment I saw him dancing with the camera is when I knew we made the right choice. Yes, his daytime photography was fantastic! But it was what he captured at dinner (and afterwards) that set him apart from the rest.

We would highly recommend David if you are seeking a photographer for your wedding. From the beginning he was very professional, very quick to respond to any questions, emails, text we had. We received our photos and to say we are over the moon with them from all the captured moments from the morning of the bridal party getting ready, our ceremony all the way to the after party. He captured so many moments we would have never of seen as the day go so fast so we are over the moon with his service and would recommend to a friend.

Review: David - The Perfect Wedding Photographer

We were lucky enough to have David as our photographer for our wedding day, and we cannot express how brilliant he was throughout the entire experience. From our initial face-to-face meetings to the delivery of our final photos, David's professionalism, calm demeanor, and creative ideas made him the perfect choice for capturing our special day.

Right from the start, David made us feel at ease. His relaxed and easy-going nature instantly created a comfortable environment, allowing us to feel natural and genuine in front of the camera. He patiently listened to our ideas and preferences, taking the time to understand our vision and incorporating his own unique suggestions.

David's creativity and eye for detail truly stood out. He expertly captured the essence of our wedding, effortlessly finding the perfect angles and moments to freeze in time. With his guidance, every shot felt natural and authentic, resulting in a collection of photos that truly reflected the emotions and energy of the day.

One aspect that impressed us greatly was the speed at which we received a preview of our photos. Within just a few days, David shared with us more than 90 breathtaking images that beautifully encapsulated the highlights of our wedding. It allowed us to relive those precious moments and share them with our loved ones, creating an immediate sense of joy and nostalgia.

Furthermore, David's value for money was exceptional. Not only did he provide us with this preview, but a few months later, we received a lovely USB containing all of our photos, allowing us to revisit our memories anytime we wanted. The quality of the images was outstanding, showcasing David's keen attention to detail and technical expertise.

Overall, David's brilliance as a wedding photographer cannot be overstated. His calm and relaxed approach, combined with his creative ideas, make him a true professional to work with. The amazing photos he produced exceeded our expectations and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone searching for an excellent photographer who values both quality and value.
Response from David McAuley Photography
Thank you both so much for all that and for being part of your fantastic day. Enjoyed meeting again and working on your album. Regards, David

Till the last minute we weren't even sure if we wanted a photographer, but changed our mind and we're so glad that we found David. The professionalism and attitude towards his clients instantly stands out. Following a little chat over coffee, we knew we ran into someone who knows what they're doing. On our wedding day, he went out of his way to make sure we some have "private" photos taken at a nearby location - something we never thought about. He handled the entire event perfectly. He was extremely patient, kept the kids entertained and it seemed like no curveball in the world could throw him off his game. Photos came out absolutely great and everyone was impressed by David. If you think that ends here, you'll be surprised by his attention to detail when your photos arrive in the mail. We could not recommend this man enough!

Thank you both for the trust, it was a privilege to part of your intimate gathering. Best regards, David

He made loads of important suggestions that made our photos personal and treasured. On the day David was amazing with my now wife. He put her at complete ease throughout the day and the results were truly amazing. Again, such a nice person and an incredible photographer. 10/10 - best decision we made on our wedding day bar none.

I could not recommend David higher, he was absolutely fantastic. I didn't want to spend half my day getting photos taken so I wasn't even pushed on a photographer although I did want pictures. When I spoke with David he completely made me feel at ease and gave us a very reasonable package that suited what we needed. He was absolutely fantastic on the day and got brilliant photos that we were so happy with. I literally couldn't recommend him high enough. He was absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced.

I had to organise my wedding from Australia and David was so helpful. The quality of the photos was breath taking, with such attention to detail from every aspect of our day. He was so calm and easy going everyone was relaxed in his presence, we wanted candid photos of our day, and he captured the love and laughter in every picture. I cried when I saw them.

We had David as our wedding photographer for our wedding in the Springfield hotel. From the beginning he was amazing to work with, filled us in on everything we needed to know, always got back to us with questions we had. We felt so comfortable with him, from the first meeting, the meetings to discuss what exactly we wanted, location of photos and who we would like in them was all discussed in detail before the wedding, this meant that on the day of the wedding we were able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything else. He was amazing and the photos turned out great and the album is amazing and such good quality. I could not recommend David himself and his work enough. It was a pleasure to have him involved in our day.

We were very happy with the service provided by David and the quality of the photos taken. We arranged our wedding at relatively short notice and David was quick to respond to us. He took the time to meet us and understand our needs. Our wedding was split over 2 days (ceremony and reception) and even though he had other appointments the photography didn't feel rushed and he gave us as much time as we needed. Some of our guests even commented on how nice he was and how he did a good job without being too pushy or getting in the way.

My husband and I traveled from overseas to have our wedding blessing in Wicklow. David was very accommodating from the beginning, answering questions and providing us with information to assist us with our special day. We wanted to have our blessing somewhere unique but traveling from far away we had not seen the location ourselves. David set aside time to meet us at our destination spot prior to the wedding and assisted us in planning details for the day of. He also provided us with additional information to help us with our travels in Ireland. David is very genuine. He takes his work seriously but also cares about interacting and getting to know the guests. The photos we got back are absolutely stunning.

Our wedding was 9 Nov 2018 and it rained badly. We were a Dublin City wedding and had planned to have all out shots on Sandymount and in town however the rain changed plans. David accommodated us by setting up for our portraits indoors going to his car for equipment. He also came out in the rain and got the most amazing shots, which I did not want to do initially. I can not recommend him enough for going above and beyond and making our wedding photos

So many people commented on how professional David was on our wedding day. He got every photo we wanted but you wouldn't even know he was there, he was not overbearing at all which is exactly what we wanted. Anyone that asked for photos David obliges also, all of which turned out lovely. As for value for money having priced a number of photographers he certainly ranks right up there. He is a very professional photographer who really knows what he's doing and we couldn't have been happier with how he went about his business and the results we got afterwards.

David is a professional at what he does, from the time he came in the morning until he left (nearly midnight!) he made sure We were all relaxed and very natural in the pics. I can't wait to see the pics! If you are looking for someone who knows what they are doing and goes beyond expectations, I would highly recommend David.

We came across david by pure chance . He had donated a wedding photography pacakage as a prize to a charity fund ( which says a lot about him) . As the holder of this prize you could say we took a chance on him ; but what a lucky chance it was for us for the following reasons :

1. His photography skills are excellent . Being an older wedding couple he captured our very best aspects in a natural way

2 He was a very personable man . It's very important to get on well with the phographer- especially as it is a long day with a lot of photos to be taken . We liked him a lot and importantly our guests liked him . Many commented on how nice he was .

3. He was very accommodating to our needs . We have a large family and he catered for all the different aspects and family dynamics willingly.

4 He was very diligent paying a lot of attention to minor detail . David planned ahead of the day and made himself familiar with the names placed and important information . This meant that on the day he could easily remember key people and dynamics which freed us up to enjoy our day

5 . He was energetic and worked hard on the day . No request was too big or too small . He started early and didn't leave until he felt his job was well done . He took lots of photos .

6 He was very inclusive of the guests in a very gentle way and the guests loved having their photos taken professionally .

7 David didn't spare his skill on a package that was already gifted to charity which says a lot about his professional approach .

8 His after sales service is also very good and we recently called back to his studio for a girly occasion photograph

David McCauley truly stands out in our minds as one of the best aspects of our big day .

We are delighted with the service that we have received form David. In the initial meeting he had suggestions and ideas that we would never have thought about. David suggested getting some pictures done in Farmleigh before the ceremony. This was an excellent idea for many reasons- fist we got great out door pictures in the daylight in mid winter and secondly we did not need to run off to get pictures after the ceremony which meant we could spend that extra time with our guests, and lastly Farmleigh was a beautiful location for our pictures. David was professional and easy going- we are absolutely delighted with our pictures - they have completely exceeded our expectations. Thank You!

Thank you very much to you both Saoirse, and for being open to the suggestions etc. There was a great atmosphere for the afternoon and looking forward to completing your album, best regards, David

We had said from the time we start looking for photographers that this was the one thing that had to be 100 % right. When we met David first we knew within a few minutes that he was our guy. David did what no other photographer had done, he took the time (2 hours if i am correct) to take us through what every aspect of our day would consist of photography wise. There was no argument this man knew what he was doing & when he showed us a few snaps from previous weddings he proved not only could he talk the talk but he could walk the walk too! On the day he was amazing! He is a King behind that camera and he made it all so so easy with great craic along the way. We had said from day one to David that we were a giddy couple up for a laugh and a bit of fun and that we wern't really into the whole formal thing and that we wanted our pictures to show this. Not a problem! Pics are just that! There is one picture of myself talking to my 2 year old son and i wasn't even aware David was snapping us. The picture is so precious and i will have that precious memory forever. Thank you so much David for everything, nothing was ever too much. If we didn't get anything else 100% on our day one thing is for sure we got the perfect photographer. We look forward to working with you in the future. Ali & Rory

I cannot fault David's work from start to finish. He was very responsive to messages when first getting quotes and tailored a package to suit our needs. Before the wedding, he met with us at the venue to discuss photos we wanted taking and to show us potential places for photos. On the day, he was flexible and a calming influence on the whole day. As I got ready in the bridal suite, I barely noticed him. He was also very helpful at helping the lads sort their ties out! In the church, David was not at all intrusive and captured so many natural shots of both us and our guests. He was quick thinking and helped to deal with any minor hiccups on the day. Many guests commented on what a lovely man David was and he went above and beyond to get photos we had asked for - including hanging out of a window to get the all important group shot! As if this wasn't enough, once our photos were ready, David made the journey to England to show them to us in person and delivered a beautiful USB and keepsake box, filled with thousands of photos - I still don't know how he got so many! Thank you David for going above and beyond. You exceeded all our expectations for a wedding photographer. Thank you!

We married in August and we are so delighted we chose David as our photographer. From the moment we met David, he was so professional and helpful with every aspect of our wedding. We could see from his shots that he had a fantastic eye for capturing the right photographs and this was portrayed on the day. David took some amazing photos throughout our day, some of which I never saw him taking, creating beautiful, natural shots of us and our guests, which is exactly what I wanted. He was so relaxed on the day and, therefore, we all relaxed in his company and this is reflected in our stunning wedding photos. David stayed so late into the night and really went above and beyond to capture everything on the day. We couldn't recommend David highly enough, thanks again David.

We were married in June and booked David to be our photographer on a recommendation. He did not disappoint. I wanted the day to be very relaxed and in the early planning stages I wasn't even going to hire a photographer (I hate my photo being taken). David actually made the day more relaxing - He was discrete but I was so happy that he was there to capture all the little special moments. His eye for detail is great and he was brilliant at capturing the atmosphere of the day. He even managed to get some fab pictures of our two children and they never stay still long enough for their photos to be taken! I would recommend David in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a reliable, talented photographer.

We were married in May and are delighted that we chose David as our photographer. His organisation and attention to detail from the initial enquiry through to the delivery of the photos was second to none. I'm not one for having my photo taken but David put me at complete ease, he was so professional but portrayed a relaxed persona whilst keeping everything organised & punctual. He made sure to capture all of our special moments (secret smiles and laugh out loud ones alike) ensuring that he included all of our family and friends. His eye for ?different? shots is amazing and we are absolutely delighted with the results, he even went so far as standing out in the middle of traffic to capture results for us. When we returned from honeymoon we met David in the studio where he took us through all of the photos and gave them to us on a beautiful glass USB, packaged in a gorgeous little bag?? for me this was the icing on the cake.
All of our wedding party commented on how great David was and we cannot recommend him highly enough, he really went above and beyond, thank you David.

David was suggested to us by a friend and immediately we felt we had made the right choice. We were looking for a professional who knew how to get all the photos to record our wedding without being the centre of attention. David did this perfectly, the quality of photos was very high with a good variety of guests, grounds, posed photos and natural photos. There were numerous photos produced that I do not remember seeing David at all for, which was the main characteristic I wanted from our photographer.
David listened to us at every turn and ensured that we got all that we wanted. We were at ease throughout the day with him as his manner was exceptional.
I can't recommend David enough for your photographs.

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the hardest tasks when planning our wedding and I am delighted to say that we couldn't have been happier with our choice. David was fantastic! When we first met him, he offered such great guidance and had so many ideas based on what he knows works best on the day but was also always willing to listen to what we wanted and strived to give us what we had in our minds for the photos. On meeting David for a second time a few weeks before the wedding we were so impressed with the time he spent asking about family members, those who were part of the wedding party and those who we wanted to make sure we got specific photos with; David payed such close attention to this which meant his approach on the day was so personal. David was extremely professional but his personality brought a warmth and friendliness to the day. So many of our guests commented on how friendly he was.We are delighted that David was a part of our day and are thrilled with the photos, he captured each stage of the day so well. Myself, my husband and our family highly recommend him. Thanks again David!

I was very skeptical when I started looking at photographers for our wedding, so when a mutual friend introduced me to David, I couldn't wait to meet him and talk through our wedding plans. We had a Marvel Superhero themed wedding in February of this year and you could tell David was nearly as excited as we were. When we first met with him he completely put us both at ease, giving us tips and the rundown of how the day would go. As this was 2+ years to our wedding those were things we hadn't even began to think of or look at and with David's help it was all sorted very quickly and happily. Before we knew it our day was here and David arrived spot on time, he took about 5 mins to set up and that was him for the day, again he kept things very natural, half the time we didn't even know he was there. Everyone told us afterwards how he never stopped shooting and captured every moment. It was only two weeks ago when we did our first viewing that we realised he really did capture EVERY single moment and we're so glad he did. We also opted for the photo booth add-on and everyone loved the freedom of this and availed of a few cheeky snaps. We couldn't be happier we trusted David to capture our day and can't wait until the next event we can avail of his services again! Nickki

We booked David a year in advance of our wedding and from day one after meeting him in his studio he was excellent, we knew we were in good hands. On the day he made everyone feel at ease, he really listened to us and ensured he was giving us what we wanted. We had David booked up until our first dance and he ended up staying long after capturing all our guests dancing and enjoying themselves! We have had a viewing session of all our photos and are so impressed, choosing our pictures for the album was so hard. ( I would have all of them in if I could!) I would definitely recommend David to anyone looking to book a wedding photographer. I couldn't fault a thing!

I think the most difficult vendor to choose is the photographer. It took me months to look at every possible photographer. I came across David while looking for a videographer and while I was watching the wedding video I was really impressed with the photos that were being taken. The bride looked comfortable, the poses were natural yet unique and the background was beautiful. After doing a little bit of research I found the photographer David McAuley and I contacted him, he was quick to respond and answer any questions. Since I was planning my wedding from the US, a quick turn around time was important to me. His prices were very fair and his portfolio spoke quality. Most importantly, upon meeting him, he was friendly, accommodating, and professional. He arrived on time day of the wedding and went straight to work and he even stayed later when we asked him to. I liked that he was flexible to take any photos I requested at the time, yet he also used his creativity to produce great images! Not only did we love working with him, but our bridal party, and guests were thrilled with his work. I really enjoyed working with David McAuley and I highly recommend him as your next photographer.

After looking around for a wedding photographer, I came across David's website and decided to contact him regarding a consultation for our wedding photography. David responded to my request in a very timely manner and we made an appointment for him to come to my house to meet both myself and my future husband, Ray.

He arrived on time and was well prepared for the consultation. He showed us samples of his wedding photography, which we were very impressed with. He also took all of our details and those of the wedding party so he would be familiar with who was who on the big day. He made extensive notes as to where we wanted our photo taken after the ceremony. He also advised on what services he had on offer, eg a photo booth, and what his wedding packages entailed. He spent a good while trying to figure exactly what myself and Ray wanted/expected from him so he would be able to tailor his services to our needs.

On the day itself, he arrived early and was calmness itself :-) He was non invasive, but managed to take a lot of photos of myself, and everyone involved in the wedding preparations. After a good many shots were taken, he left so he could catch up with the groom at the Registry Office, so he could take more photos there and be prepared for when I arrived.

We had our main photos taken at the botanic gardens. David was fantastic in picking out great spots for the photos to be taken, and he took both the formal photos as well as the casual ones, when people weren't aware he was aiming his camera at them. By doing this, he got a real feel of the day captured for us, which we absolutely loved! He was great at directing the poses we should take and who should stand where etc. He was so calm, he got everyone relaxed and it really showed in the photos that everyone was having a bit of fun :-)

I'd HIGHLY recommend David as your wedding photographer. He was professional, punctual, calm, friendly, well organised and best of all, the photographs turned out amazing!

What can i say. From the very beginning David was a true gentleman and professional. From our first meeting David knew exactly what we were looking for. He understood that we did not want nor need many staged photos and captured the very essence of who we are as a family, couple. David spent the day with us until late at night capturing the fun and magic behind our day and made our guest enjoy the experience. he captured so many special memories, ones that both myself and Barry will cherish forever.
Thank you David for being a huge part of our wedding and would highly recommend you to our friends and family

David,

Just a quick message to say thank you again and we are so glad we chose you as our wedding photographer for our big day.

Your photography really captured all the fun and enjoyment on the day, as well as those special quieter moments, and things we didn't even see on the day... and all in way that was natural and unobtrusive and made everyone relaxed and at ease. It's so nice to have so many happy memories now in pictures.

If anyone reading this is looking for a truly great Wedding photographer, myself and Duane cannot recommend David highly enough.

Thanks again David, and I'm sure you will make many more couples as happy as you have made us.

In the fotos David took on the occasion of our sons civil mariage we find the easy, relaxed atmosphere and the joy of that day explicitly reflected throughout and the toghetherness of the young couple captured dreamlike, especially in the images taken in Cafe en Seine. We highly appreciate Davids friendly and reliable service. Thank You very much for preserving the memories of that special day in beautiful pictures.

Liam and I would like to thank you again for such a brilliant job.We have been absolutely delighted with his exceptional personal and professional approach from the very first time we met at a wedding fair. Unlike all the other photographers we had met he was interested in what we wanted and had to say rather than trying to sell an album to us. He certainly added to the success of our wedding day. His personal and down to earth attitude is exactly what you need on your wedding day. He was very easy to deal with and was also great value.We would both could not highly recommend him enough.

Mark and I just wanted to say how happy we are that we chose David as the photographer for our wedding. His professionalism and easy going manner made him a pleasure to deal with. On the day everyone commented on nice he was and so easy to get on with, no barking orders or demands but still managed to get all the photos i wanted (and it was a long list!). I would definitely recommend David to any couple. Also, out of all the services we dealt with, David was always the most prompt and efficient at returning calls / queries.

Mike and I want to thank David for all the hard work he put in helping us organise our big day. After a potential disastrous discovery on our wedding morning he even supplied my dad with cufflinks! He constantly surprised us with his jokes on the day whilst snapping away which led to great natural photos as I am not a big fan of posing and wanted him to capture us during the natural flow of things. David went above and beyond for us, often going out of his way to meet me and was always only a phonecall away offering tips.Very professional to work with but great humour also which was needed when my heels started killing me and I was getting grouchy! He was at the hotel til late even though he didnt need to be. Absolutely delighted especially with our album
after me changing my mind so many times about which photos to pick, David was so patient and the extra family
photos I got for great value! Highly recommended!! Thanks again David :)

From the moment we enquired with David, we knew we had made the right decision for our wedding photographer. Any questions we had, David answered promptly and in detail. We had a few photo ideas that we wanted to try on our wedding day and David managed to capture everything we asked for, he was very open to ideas but also lead the way when we were unsure. David was extremely professional and fitted in so well, I barely knew he was there in the morning getting ready, or at the church - yet such beautiful moments were captured!! He was running around all day & night getting the perfect shots and worked so hard - even our wedding guests commented on how nice & hardworking he was. We feel like David captured us and our wedding day perfectly, we laughed all day and had so much fun and that has really come through in our photos. David, we cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for us - from start to finish you have been amazing and a pleasure to deal with, we will happily recommend you to anyone!!

David, myself and Gavin just want to thank you for the amazing photos you took of our wedding. Looking back on the photos brought the day back to life and it was wonderful to remember it in such a beautiful way. Not only did you capture the big, special moments, you also captured the intimate and personal details, that would have been long forgotten in the hustle and bustle of the day. I've had some many compliments on the album, everyone saying it's the nicest they've ever seen. We are also delighted with the personalised 'Thank You' cards that you designed for us so we can give each of our guests a momento of the day too. I will be recommending you to all future brides to be!
