Dena Shearer Photography

• After days of research on the internet and hours wasted back on forth with a handful of photographers, I was coming close to giving up until I stumbled across Dena! Within the first 2 minutes of our phone conversation, I knew she was the one! As I live in the UK, I knew little about the ins and outs of Dublin and Dena went above and beyond to help me make my secret proposal, perfect! She not only guided me but gave me a full virtual walkthrough of how the location looks and how I should execute my proposal! Even to the point of helping me figure out which knee I should get on as she secretly captures the moment from a vantage point! ? • As my experience with Dena was exceptional for the proposal, I knew I’d want her to capture the next 2 big milestones of my relationship, Nikkah (Signing of wedding documents) and Mehndi (Afterparty). As this was a traditional Pakistani Wedding, Dena asked all the right questions ahead of the events and intuitively made all the right calls on the days. She was respectful, efficient and managed to capture all of the key moments! • Dena is easygoing, professional and meticulous in her research ahead of the events. She listens carefully and provides flexible guidance to her clients. Her turnaround time for the photographs is short but up to the high professional standard you’d expect. I cannot emphasise any more how pleased we are with the photographs from not one but three events! I would highly recommend working with Dena if you would like someone who can capture the essence of an event, the emotions in the air and the key moments that make an event special. Thank you Dena for not only being so professional but also now becoming a wonderful friend! Sultan & Marium.

We loved having Dena help us capture memories on our wedding day. We wanted someone who would be able to capture candid moments, real interactions and real feelings...Which she did! She has a great eye for anticipating a nice, natural shot and positioning herself in advance to capture it. Dena is a lovely person to deal with, warm and professional. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.

Where do I start? Having Dena be our photographer on the day was an absolute pleasure. From our initial meeting over coffee to our engagement shoot right through to our wedding day the experience was tremendous. Dena is an absolute perfectionist and her work and her portfolio speaks for itself. Ahead of our wedding, Dena travelled to our location to assess where best for lighting and shots for all weather occasions, so time was not wasted on day looking for good spots. On the day of the wedding, Dena was invisible and looking back over the photos I am in awe at some of the moments that were captured, because I simply do not remember the camera being there. Dena almost became an extra guest at the wedding, as she blended in with guests mixed and mingled and captured those candid moments of laughter and conversation that are often missed. Would highly recommend Dena as a photographer for any big day!
