Emilien took on the job for our wedding at very short notice, so a major thank you for that.

He had a call with us beforehand, which was great. He walked us through the process and venue (he had been there before) while also getting his own preparation done for which kinda of pictures we would like. It was great to do that ahead of time, so we weren't worried or anxious about it on the day!

He's incredibly easy to work with, well prepared and took amazing photos of the wedding.
He really captured the day and the emotions. The pictures were like a perfect snapshot of the events, and were very natural.

Were really happy with the result and will treasure them forever.
Thank you!

We are Australian and decided to elope in Ireland. From our first enquiries with Emi he was very prompt and very helpful.
Emi even went beyond his photography duties and was a witness for us and bought his speaker for us to play music.

We are so happy we chose Emi, he made us feel so relaxed, comfortable and we had so many laughs along the way.
The photos are absolutely beautiful and Emi managed to take many photos without us even realising. Everyone we have shown have commented on how beautiful they are.
We can't thank Emi enough for his part in making our day extra special. It just wouldn't of been the same with anyone else.
Thank you Emi for EVERYTHING!

Hiring Emi (Emilien Durand) for our weddings (part 1 and part 2) was one of the best decisions we made!
From the first consultation to the final gallery, he was so attentive, professional, and incredibly talented.
Our first wedding was in the registry office in Dublin city on a beautiful sunny day. Emi knew all the really lovely places to take us that would provide great photos. He made us all feel so comfortable in front of the camera and blended seamlessly into the day—capturing every candid moment, every happy tear, every laugh, and all the love.

The second wedding was in a Rugby club which was very different. He took some beautiful photos of all the little details, us and our guests.
The photos are absolutely stunning. They didn’t just take pictures—they told the story of our day in the most beautiful, authentic way.

Our friends and family can’t stop raving about the photos, and we feel so lucky to have these memories so perfectly preserved. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and has an amazing eye for detail, Emi is the one!

Emilien did my wedding photography at number 25 Fitzwilliam Pl. this February. He captured the day perfectly. The photos are beautiful. He caught amazing photos of me and my husband, his groomsmen, the bridal party, family and friends. Everything. It was so relaxed and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He seemed to understand exactly what we wanted and the photos are above and beyond what we expected. Thank you so much. It was a pleasure to work with you.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day. From the very start, he was so attentive to all our requests and took the time to really understand what we were looking for. His communication leading up to the day was amazing—he shared all kinds of helpful details that made the whole process feel much smoother and less stressful, especially when it came to the ceremony.

On the day itself, we were so impressed with how he worked. He captured every special moment without being in the way, and we absolutely loved how natural the photos felt. It was such a wonderful surprise to see the images he’d taken throughout the day—each one felt like a perfect memory.

We’re so grateful for his calm and professional presence. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but genuinely cares about making your day unforgettable, we highly recommend him. Thank you for everything!

Great guy to work with love looking through all the magical moments he captured for us can't recommend him enough thank you Emi from Sinéad and Conor
Response from Emilien Durand Photography
Many thanks to Sinéad and Conor for their wonderful review and for contacting me at the last minute afterwards and taking the time to chat with me by message and phone before the BIG DAY. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day in Howth and a lovely sunny couple for the couple photos we took by the harbour.

We had the pleasure of working with Emilien for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, Emilien took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and made sure our vision was a priority throughout the entire process.

On the day itself, he had a natural ability to capture all the important moments without ever feeling intrusive. Whether it was a quiet moment between us or the energy of our guests, Emilien was there to document everything in such an authentic way. The photos are stunning—full of emotion and incredibly personal. They perfectly reflect the mood of the day, without looking forced or overly posed.

What we appreciated most was how relaxed and easy Emilien made the whole experience. He was thoughtful and efficient, making sure we got the photos we wanted but never making us feel rushed. It felt like he really understood the flow of the day and worked with it, not against it.

If you're looking for a photographer who truly captures the essence of your day and makes the whole process feel effortless, Emilien is the one to choose. We’re so grateful for the memories he’s given us, and we couldn't recommend him more.

Emilien took the time to meet us in advance to understand our wishes and needs. When we had further questions, he was always back to us quickly and was reassuring and supportive. He listened to us, and we love that the photos are professional and beautiful quality, and about the people and not about the artist's ambitions! He snapped some of the cutest pictures when we didn't even realise he was there. Emilien is very respectful and professional, but also friendly and managed to get us relax.

“I can’t praise Emi enough, not only is he a very talented photographer but he is an absolute gentleman. Emi was not just the photographer, he was part of my wedding! From the moment he met me the morning of the wedding Emi made me feel relaxed, made me laugh and just brought an extra element of joy to our day! The photographs are and will always be a treasured memory but so will Emi. My friends and family are still raving about how much effort he put into the day. He was with us for the most important day of our lives and he slotted in like a friend. Thank you Emi. It was a pleasure getting to know you and I wish you nothing but success in your future, you work hard for it and you’re just a really lovely human being. 11/10 X.”

I've used Emilien Durand for two family weddings, including my own last August, and he consistently delivers beautifully candid shots that truly capture the moment. Emi brings such a calming presence to the day, making everyone feel at ease and resulting in perfect photographs. He is truly professional and puts a lot of heart into what he does. I will continue recommending him to family and friends. Thanks for everything Emi!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Emilien. We had a great consultation before our wedding just to go through the plan of the day and Emilien was very accommodating taking pictures during our ceremony as well as the photo session afterwards. The photographs turned out amazing! Brilliant quality and easy access.

Emi was such a brilliant photographer! From the early engagements to the actual day, Emi was so supportive and professional to work with. He was diligently sharing this experiences, advising, and taking onboard our wishes - making our album stunning. We wanted authentic pictures, not just staged ones. Not only did Emi deliver an abundance of beautiful and honest pictures, but he had to work under less well-lid conditions and the output was still at an excellent standard. Thank you Emi, for immortalising our special day

His blend of professionalism and friendliness made the entire experience stress-free and genuinely enjoyable.

What can I say about Emi! He was wonderful, helpful flexible and a pleasure to have with us on our special day. Emi gave us great advice and guidance before our big day, he was flexible and made our last minute change of venue no problem. Our guests commented on his cheery demeanour on the day, and he made a special effort to get a picture of everyone and capture some truly special memories for our family. He was a pleasure to deal with in every regard and our pictures are a real treasure. Thank u Emi.

Emi was so sweet and lovely! He was always very prompt in replies or emails. I loved all the photos he took. He also took a few videos. He offered to set-up a photobooth style set for my event as well, which the venue didn't have the space for but I think it was a great idea! He had all the photos back to me in less than a week. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

We booked Emilien back in June for our wedding and couldn't be more delighted with the professionalism and ease with how the day went. The guests even commented on how un-intrusive and casual he was as a photographer and made everyone feel at ease. Thrilled with the results of the captures on the day and we had them within a few days later to reminisce over. Would highly recommend and will be utilising his talent again in the future.
