We had the absolute pleasure of having David McGowan as our wedding photographer, and we genuinely could not recommend him highly enough! From start to finish, David was an absolute dream to work with — professional, friendly, calm, and incredibly talented.
On the day itself, he was everywhere and nowhere all at once — capturing every precious moment so naturally, without ever feeling intrusive. He made us and our bridal party feel completely at ease, and his relaxed, easy-going nature helped everything flow so smoothly.
When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Every image is stunning — beautifully composed, full of emotion, and perfectly reflects the joy of our day. David somehow managed to capture all the laughter, tears, and little moments we didn’t even realize were happening.
We’ll cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. David truly went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful to have had him as part of our wedding. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s not only incredibly skilled but also a genuine pleasure to be around, David McGowan is your man!
Thank you so much, David — you captured our day perfectly! ❤️📸

5 Stars – Couldn’t Recommend Enough!
We had the absolute pleasure of having David McGowen as our wedding photographer, and he was amazing from start to finish! From booking through to the big day, David was so friendly, professional, and easy to deal with.
On the day, he was fantastic with everyone — making our guests feel comfortable and capturing every special moment naturally. He was also incredible with our dogs, especially our shy one, who took to him straight away!
David captured the most stunning photo of our dog Roxy, who was our ring bearer and is currently battling cancer. That picture means the world to us — it’s truly beautiful and something we’ll treasure forever.
The rest of the photos are just as amazing, perfectly capturing the joy and emotion of the day. If you’re looking for a photographer who’s talented, kind, and genuinely passionate about what he does, we couldn’t recommend David enough!

We honestly could not have wished for a better wedding photographer then David McGowan. David was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and a true gentleman. As a couple who are very camera shy, he immediately put us at ease and made it so much fun! We felt like we knew him for years and he fit in so well with all our guests, we feel so lucky to have had David part of our special day and are thrilled with all the photographs. He took some really amazing shots! We couldn't believe how well they turned out. David is a truly talented photographer and we would highly recommend him to anyone for their wedding day!

David photographed our wedding recently and was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. From initial emailing, meeting to discuss what we wanted on the day to the actual day itself, David was professional, personable and just easy to work with. Many guests at the wedding remarked at how lovely he was to have around the place as he flitted about capturing everything. He fitted in and was lovely to everyone, he even helped my husband to attach a flower to his jacket, no job too small!! David truly loves what he does and this is evident in how he works and approaches the craft. I would not hesitate to recommend David, I will be recommending him to anyone who will listen and will 100% be using him again if I ever need photography services.

We were lucky to have David as our wedding photographer on the 19th December 2024. We gave him the brief of wanting a laid back relaxed wedding and that’s what we got. David was so discreet we didn’t even know he was there 😊 he made everyone feel very relaxed and got some great natural photos of the whole family and Paddy the dog 😊. I am glad he encouraged us to go into the Christmas Market in Eyre Square, the photos turned out amazing. We would highly recommend David to anyone planning a wedding.10/10.
Thank you for your time and patience, much appreciated.

David was amazing! He made everyone feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. It was like having an old friend as your photographer, which meant a lot to us. He captured so many amazing moments. We’re so grateful to have them to look back at. We even recommended David to our best friends, who flew in from Chicago for our wedding and wanted to get their engagement photos taken while they were in Ireland. They were also very happy with their photos and enjoyed working with David.

Our wedding day was the most memorable day of our lives and we were so lucky to have David capture it. David's keen eye for detail and ability to seize the perfect moment is unparallel. Every photo he took was not only beautiful but truly captured everyone's joy, happiness and laughter. Looking through the pictures feels like reliving every moment and we are forever grateful to David for that gift. If you're looking for a photographer to capture a special day in your life, I wholeheartedly recommend David. His turnaround time getting the photos to us was beyond amazing and he is the nicest, most genuine guy you will ever meet. Thank you again David for giving us the gift of eternal memories and for being part of our beautiful day!

David was absolutely fantastic! He was so calm on the day and is such a lovely fella. He got the best photos and they were all so natural. He made our children feel so at ease with all of the photography, especially our youngest who did not want to smile at the camera. I couldn’t recommend him enough!

Both David and Gin are absolutely amazing at what they do. From the start of the morning, they made everything so relaxed and fun. We had so many laughs the morning getting ready and they made everyone feel at ease while capturing beautiful shots. We are so happy with our photos from our day.
He captured the day so well and got all the shots that we had requested. Honestly couldn't recommend David more highly enough for your wedding day.
Thank you David!!
