David was absolutely fantastic. I honestly cannot praise him enough. He went above and beyond anything we ever expected. His pictures are beautiful and managed to catch some truly magical and special moments. He is so approachable, friendly and willing to make your day as special as can be. Honestly cannot recommend him enough. He is so good, three people in my family have used him as their wedding photographer.

We can?t recommend David highly enough and probably haven?t got the words to give a full and accurate review but will give it a try. David has been excellent to deal with for our wedding photography. We moved our date once and we were delighted David was still available for our second date. Shortly after our engagement, we went to meet David and from that meeting, we knew he was who we wanted to photograph our wedding. David is so professional, kind and pleasant and his vast experience is clearly evident in his work and how he approaches his work and dealing with clients. David arrived the morning of our wedding and was with us from bridal prep right up to our first dance. He even made time that morning to nip up to the grooms house to get some great snaps there. David blended is so well throughout the day, he was so chilled and had us all chilled and relaxed. David very much so let us lead and guide our day and suggested photo opportunities which we were delighted with. I even thought of a few shots during the day and asked David if he could get them and he already had photographed them. David got on very well with our videographer and both gentlemen were the talk of our bridal party because they were so easygoing and brought great fun and laughs to the day with us. We?ve received our pictures from David and we are so happy with them, it?s bringing back all the memories of the day. What we loved also is David took loads of candid shots of our guests throughout the day so it was great for us to see the enjoyment and fun our guests were having. David also provided us with an alternative option to the parent gifts and we were able to present them with framed family shots during the speeches. Also instead of a guest book, David prepared a shot of us framed with a large framed signature board which our guests were able to sign, this looks fantastic and will take pride of place on our wall. A huge big thank you to David, a true gentlemen and professional and we highly recommend him.

We got married on the 08/08/2021 and it was the best day of our lives and David captured our day perfectly.
He was so much more than a photographer on the day. But let me take you back to how it started. So we meet David in Portlaois on the 19th February 2019 to discuss our day. David came to meet us in a hotel where he displayed his work- it was something else. He was offering so much more than what I researched to other photographers and it just felt right. We got our usb of all our photos, wedding album along with signed signature frame on the day, he included 2 printed and framed photos on the day for both our parents and another one with my grandad. I will get to this later. So with all that said we booked him straight away for our supposed wedding for June 2020. However Covid had different plans. There was numerous phonecalls and emails with so many changes of dates, times and venues. However throughout all the uncertainity, David could not have been more accommodating and supportive to us.
So fast forward 14 months on, we eventually got to our day and as I said David captured our day perfectly. And David was so much more than a photographer on the day, from putting in buttonholes on suits to personally driving me and my husband to see my poorly grandad in hospital where he got some very special photos that I will treasure forever. David went above and beyond, on the day and really just got our personalities. No shot was left uncaptured and he checked in with me throughout day. He was not in our faces snapping, he captured our shots naturally, with the few posed ones. All I can say guys, ye won't be disappointed. Go check him out. Thanks again David for our wonderful memories you documented for us.

Myself and my husband used DMC Photography for our wedding. David was great to work with. He was very relaxed and didn't put us under any pressure on the day. Our bridal party were equally impressed with David's approach on the day. David was very flexible to our needs, went above and beyond to accommodate additional requests and overall was a really nice person to work with. If you are looking for a photographer that allows for a stress free wedding we would highly recommend David.

I don't know where to start with David, for us he ticked every box. He was much more than a photographer on the day, we felt he managed the flow of the day and kept everything running smoothly. With him we never felt overwhelmed and were able to relax and enjoy each aspect of the day, while still capturing all the important moments.
We could see that he really enjoys his work and he became for us a prominent figure on the day. He has a calm and caring manner, but is also able to be assertive when required to ensure the day ran to schedule. His collaborative work ethic was also evident with the other vendors.
As for the photographs themselves we could not be more pleased. The quality and essence of the day is reflected in each one. An opportunity was never missed. We can now look back and relive every moment of the day through these photos.
We would highly recommend David as a photographer for your wedding and we are sure you won't be disappointed.
Thanks again David from the Kenny's.

Hey Everybody,
David took our wonderful engagement photos. He offered his services to me on very short notice after hearing through the grapevine I was going to pop the question to my beautiful fianc? while staying at the same resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
The photos capture a moment that is so special for me and my fianc? I can?t thank him enough. Everything was improvised including the location and the timing, but David was poised and ready for that special moment at the drop of a hint from me. Everything worked out perfectly with the pictures and the best of all is that she said yes!
David came through for me in the clutch. His positivity and professionalism actually made the whole experience much less stressful than it was going to be for me. We?ll always cherish this memory you captured for us.
I recommend David as a photographer to everybody looking to get pictures taken, for any occasion. His kindness, enthusiasm and professionalism make him a cut above the rest. He truly loves what he does.
Thank you David,

Hi James and Maricruz. Thank you so much for your kind words, I was delighted to be able to contribute in a small way to your special night once I heard what was about to happen. It was such a romantic location for an engagement proposal with the gentle waves of the Caribbean lapping the warm sands of a Mexican beach in the background. I wish you both all the best for your future together, David

Absolutely brilliant photographer, all the little extras provided in the packages drew our attention in the beginning and once we met David he just put us at ease with everything. On the day he was brilliant, guests ask all the time who he is and then the turnaround for getting the photographs after the wedding was just amazing! Would highly recommend.

David was absolutely fantastic in all aspects, before the wedding with the preparations, the day of the wedding, and afterwards with the speed of delivery of pictures and album. On the day of our wedding in particular, having David there was almost like having a wedding planner! He took care of so many little details that you would not expect of your photographer. He goes above and beyond in every way. Aside from being a complete gentleman, he is an excellent photographer. He captures the events beautifully and has a real natural style which is exactly what we wanted. We received compliments from all of our wedding party about his natural and unimposing presence. Everyone felt very comfortable around him. We had no sooner returned from honeymoon when our pictures were ready. We would highly recommend David for your day.

We first met David last March and after a few minutes we knew we had the right photographer. David is extremely generous with his time and indeed his packages. Nothing was a problem and he was always calm and relaxed and he put everyone at their ease on the day. David met us a couple of months before the wedding at the venue and we walked around and picked out the shots we wanted. He took our engagement shoot this day also and this relaxed us totally for the big day. On the day itself he was there right on time, Blended in to the crowd and you would not know he was there. He organised a second photographer and a fantastic photo booth as part of the package. We could not be more happy with the photos DMC Photography took on the day and we have no hesitation in recommending them to prospective clients. John & Liz

All the guests commented on how good he was and how friendly he was. He gave us two signed frames and two copies for parents, they are absolutely beautiful and really different. I would highly recommend him for any wedding and will be doing so to all our friends!

David was a joy to work with - he's very easy going and professional. He made us feel at ease on the day and all our guests commented on how friendly he was when interacting with him. He worked so hard all day -from first thing, until after the first dance. We got two beautifully framed pictures from that very day to gift our mothers with at the dinner and we've a lovely framed photo of ourselves from the day which was signed by everyone on the day. Thanks David.

I highly recommended David to be photographer at your wedding! Having received quotes from lots of photographers we found David's to be the best package, in terms of pricing and the package inclusions! We're living in Australia so it was great to talk to David beforehand on Skype and go through the kind of photos we wanted.
David travelled to Limerick to our wedding and he really put us all at ease from the start! Himself and our videographer worked so well together all day, it was like they had known each other for years even though they had just met! David was great to work with, so professional, and he took so many wonderful photos.
He really kindly offered to put a rush on the editing of our photos as we were going back to Australia shortly after the wedding - we received our usb with nearly 750 photos within a week of the wedding (bearing in mind we got married on Dec 22nd so he was busy over Christmas!). I really don't know how we'll choose which ones to print! :)

Wowsers..so much to say about David. We met him by chance when we were arranging our wedding and instantly felt comfortable with him. He was so patient with all our guests especially the little ones, he met with us before and never forgot which pictures were important to us, you would honestly not know he was taking some of the pics and they are amazing..so natural. We received our finished album this week just before Christmas and such a great way for us to reminisce and celebrate. If you want a professional, amazing and perfect album then call him now. He made our memories special and he can do the same for you x
