Kathy Silke Photography

Dublin
 
I genuinely love photographing weddings and being part of the excitement that comes with the day. I understand how important and special your wedding day is, and so I aim to create a relaxed and easy going atmosphere, and take natural, elegant and romantic images of your special day.I pride myself as being unobtrusive as possible, and while during the day i may offer some gentle direction for the most part I prefer to capture everything as it happens in a natural way. I want you to relax and have fun on your wedding day, the best photos are the spontaneous ones where emotion shows through! Please have a look at my work and read through the testimonials from previous brides. If you have any questions regarding packages or bookings please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Kathy did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding for us in April 2023. We had a destination wedding from Boston to Killarney, Ireland so documenting our day was going to be very important to us. Kathy was communicative, professional, kind, and considerate through the whole process, which culminated in a wonderful product from a true creative talent. If you are considering Kathy for your photography needs, you will not be disappointed!

Kathy was an incredible supplier for our wedding in September this year. From the first point of contact she was lovely to deal with, even sending a thank you card when we confirmed our booking. We met Kathy with our son for an engagement shoot having a very specific picture in mind and that all went really well, she took some lovely pictures of our son too which were really appreciated. I met Kathy a few days before the wedding for a coffee to discuss running order etc. On the wedding day, having met Kathy twice already, it was like having two old friends with us, Kathy and Oxsana were so professional, discreet, quick and helpful. We got our fully edited photos less than a month after the wedding and are thrilled with them. The USB came in a beautiful presentation box with some prints, which were a surprise, and a gorgeous gift. We couldn't recommend Kathy enough, we're delighted with the gorgeous photos that we'll treasure forever.

We got Kathy to be photographer at our wedding in September 2015. From the beginning, Kathy was very professional, yet easy-going, helpful and quick to respond to any queries we had, and we knew that we made the right call to pick her for the job. When we received the photographs, we were left absolutely speechless? the photographs and the slideshow Kathy put together are absolutely fabulous, and better than anything we expected. Every time we look at them, it?s like the wedding day again. Kathy captured all the great moments of the day without being obtrusive or our guests realising that they are being photographed. She captured all the emotions of the day, of which there were plenty. We would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for professional yet very relaxed wedding photographer. Thanks a million, again, Kathy!

Kathy I can't begin to thank you enough for everything. From our first meeting you made myself and Brian feel so relaxed and reassured that we had made the right decision on having you document our day. We had so many personal requests as we wanted our wedding to be laid back and relaxed. We also did things a little differently to tradition with our Dublin City Centre wedding so you had the difficult task of following us around the busy crowded streets of Dublin at Fiday lunchtime taking our snaps.
When we received our photo collection we were simply blown away! You had listened to everything we had asked for but not only that captured our vision perfectly! From the moment you arrived to the chaos of the morning of us all getting ready you worked away quietly in the backround documenting every special moment. This was extra special for myself and Brian as we felt there was so much we had missed on the day.. You have a gifted eye for detail and furthermore where very in tune with the sentimental moments that others would simply overlook.
You provided a very professional service, always keeping in touch, responding promptly to any queries and had our photos ready within the said time. I will and have already recommended you to anyone in the future looking for a photographer. Myself and Brian wish you every success in the future. Thanks again!

More than a little late writing this review but had to put some words down to thank Kathy for the amazing job she did photographing our wedding last May. Kathy was a pleasure to deal with and captured the essence of the day for us which was how happy and relaxed we were with plenty of natural, smiling and laughing shots of both us, our family and our guests. Kathy was the epitome of what a professional photographer is and so many people commented on how you didn't even realise Kathy was there clicking away and getting all the great shots which we will treasure forevermore. We couldn't recommend Kathy enough to any bride and groom choosing their wedding photographer.

Guys, we had Kathy as our photographer at our wedding in september.
To say we are trilled with our photos would be an understatement, they are just fabulous and are exactly what we asked for, relaxed, unposed and with lots of fun with the children. From our first meeting with Kathy we knew we were making the right choice.
I would definitely highly recommend you have a look at some of her work.
The hardest part will be choosing the photos for the album!

From the first picture to the last - priceless. We are delighted with Kathy's photos of our wedding.

From the moment Kathy arrived she went to work unobtrusively creating beautiful and fun images including pictures of my Mum's engagement and wedding rings which meant a lot to me.

We loved the mix of black and white, classy and elegant but also relaxed photos. It was great to see the pictures of our guests having fun and not even realizing they were being photographed.

Kathy put us at our ease immediately and had some great ideas. We were both blown away by how beautiful her photos were.

We will treasure these pictures for the rest of our days - they have created many happy memories for us.

We would highly recommend Kathy for any photo occasion.

Thank you Kathy.

From our initial meetings, up to and after the wedding, Kathy was a pleasure to deal with and any request was handled with a professional and friendly manner. We wanted natural photographs that captured the mood of the day, and that?s why we choose Kathy!! From the morning all the way up to the speeches, we barely noticed Kathy was there, but somehow she was able to capture all the special moments!! Although we were not that interested in the posed photographs that come with having a wedding they turned out beautiful and took no time at all on the day - all our family members want copies! The photographs from the morning preparation are stunning and really captured the excitement of day. The ceremony photos were romantic and beautiful, as were our couple photos later in the day. The natural shots of the guests and the speeches were fantastic and really depicted the joy of the occasion as well as the few tears that were shed! When we received the photographs and the slideshow we couldn?t have been happier! The slideshow is stunning and really tells a story! All brides want their wedding to be a fairy-tale and looking at the photographs, Kathy really made ours look like one! We have already passed Kathy?s name onto friends and would recommend to her anyone!

We found Kathy an absolute pleasure to deal with right from the start. She was so open to our ideas and really flexible about everything. She offered a range of packages that would suit most pockets. She put me in touch with her previous brides so I could have a chat and they all said the same. We have just received our photos and are so happy with them. Her slideshow was beautiful too. She took everything we wanted into account for the photos and also used her own ideas so what we have now is fantastic. The whole process was so quick aswell, its only 2 months since our wedding and we have our finished album. We would recommend Kathy to anyone who wants lovely snaps of their big day without too much fuss.

Kathy was our photographer and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is very friendly and very helpful. For our wedding day we wanted a photographer that would take natural and beautiful photos of our special day and make us feel at ease, that?s exactly what Kathy created. I couldn't rate Kathy?s work highly enough as she captured some beautiful moments throughout the day that we will cherish forever.
Everyone who has seen the photos and the beautiful slideshow that Kathy put together has been beyond impressed. I am immensely thankful to Kathy for her talents.

We chose Kathy as our photographer because we wanted someone who would do what we wanted on the day...relaxed but yet professional. I loved how she snapped all the guests enjoying the day without them even knowing she was there. I cant say enough and would highly recommend Kathy for your day.
