Having researched a few photographers we chose Paul as we wanted someone to capture our day in a relaxed way. Paul was exceptional to deal with from the moment we contacted him. He guided us in the right direction so many times and gave us lots of brilliant tips for the big day. Any requests we had were never a problem,he even called to both houses on the morning of the wedding to capture the different build ups! On the day Paul’s relaxed approach continued and this helped everyone involved feel completely at ease. We were absolutely thrilled with the way our photos turned out, and have received so many complements on them. We loved how Paul seemed to capture all the special moments totally naturally, we would highly recommend him to anyone planning their big day. Paul is just a great photographer and a great guy! Thanks again Paul :)

I cannot recommend Paul enough as a photographer to prospective couples. Paul was an outstanding photographer and a true professional from the moment I contacted him. He has an amazing ability to be capture the important and emotional moments without you even realising he is there. Not only is he a professional, but he is great fun and we had a lot of laughs with him. At one moment during prep I was basically walking around in circles doing nothing but have a flap and he managed to give me some firm direction to get me back on track. My photographs literally blew me away when we got them and he truly exceeded our expectations.

Paul was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. His relaxed manner is contagious and refreshing, and he took incredible photos without us even knowing he was there most of the time. He's so unobtrusive on the day, and offers great advice about so many elements of the wedding. We were completely relaxed knowing Paul had everything in hand. We got our photos back really quickly and we're absolutely delighted with them!

I dont even know where to begin as I dont think I could put into words how good Paul is at what he does. He is fantastic in all aspects of what he does. We had used Paul a few times before we got engaged for our new baby shoot and the babies 1st birthday cake smash and loved his way so much I didnt think twice about booking him. The advice he gives, relaxing us during our engagement shoot, how professional he is on the day and then of course the photos he takes are brilliant. The photos he took for our wedding are better than we could have ever imagined he took so many photos that we hadnt even realised were taken. He was really just the icing on the cake. Everyone commented on how good he was and how he wasnt intrusive or in your face for me that was great as i hate having my photo taken. He was so prompt with the photos after and the presentation was superb. He captured our day perfectly and they are memories we will now treasure forever! I would recommend to anyone planning a wedding make sure you include Paul Duane photography in it because it money invested in photos you will have for life.

I can't say enough about how brilliant of a photographer Paul is. He is so professional, but so easy going as well. His attention to detail is second to none, and he is always looking for and finds little creative ways to incorporate into ur day. Paul really helped me through my day in that he prompted me in a subtle way with the running order of the day. I would have been lost only for him. Thanks a million again Paul, can t rate you highly enough.

I can not say enough kind things about Paul. After my surprise proposal, my fiance had Paul waiting to take photos of us around Ashford Castle. Paul was so incredible to work with and dealt with my awkwardness in stride! He made everything so comfortable and went above and beyond to make our photos so special and memorable. Instead of the usual staged photography our photos turned out looking so natural and lovely. If you get the chance to work with Paul, DO NOT PASS IT UP!

From start to finish Paul was excellent. His advise and level of service extended far beyond what we expected from our photographer. His amazing experience was evident through out the day, where at times it felt like he wasn't there at all allowing him to capture the most natural of photos. I would highly recommend Paul to any couple looking for a top class photographer who will put you and your guests at ease during the day, adding an element of fun to the bridal photos and capturing all the special moments in fantastic quality. We will look to use Paul again to capture other special moments in our lives.

Paul was the photographer we chose for our wedding. I loved his photos as he seemed to capture natural moments and we are so glad we got him. From the start he was brilliant. He offered us a free engagement shoot which was great fun. We were both quite awkward in front of the camera at first but we soon relaxed into it as Paul was so easy going. Even though Paul lives in Galway he still offered to travel to Dublin for the engagement shoot. This was brilliant as it meant we could go to a location that was special to us. We had a huge amount of compliments about Paul from the wedding. Some asked if we even had a photographer as he was so good at blending in and capturing the day, which is exactly what we wanted. We received the photos back and cannot choose which ones to print as there are so many stunning ones. We received them very quickly and they included a set of customised videos which we didn't even know he had took. These videos have been brilliant as they capture the day so well. I would, and have already recommended Paul and Fiona to anyone getting engaged or married. If we ever need a photographer again I will not hesitate to contact Paul first.

Response from Paul Duane Photography

Booking Paul as our wedding photographer was one of the first jobs we did when planning our wedding. Paul had been the photographer at my best friends wedding where I was bridesmaid back in 2014 and I knew that day if we ever took the plunge it was Paul we would be calling. Everything was so simple and easy. There was no fuss and that’s exactly the way Padraic and I wanted it. We had a lovely meeting with Paul a few weeks before the big day where we just sat down had a chat and discussed what we were looking for. He had us down to a tee in a few minutes and knew just what we wanted from our wedding pictures. On the day itself Paul was fantastic. He arrived to my home house just as we were all getting ready. The house was quite busy that morning but still nice and relaxed. Paul was in the background snapping away and we almost forgot he was there. We even managed to give him a job or two before he left and he delivered a few items over to the church for us.!!!! The pictures Paul got at the ceremony, like the rest were spectacular. He got fantastic shots of our guests and captured the most important part of our day perfectly. Paul took Padraic and I off to have some pictures taken by ourselves. This time turned out to be a really special time. We had some great laughs together and it was lovely to have that time alone together. It was the last time we were on our own for the rest of the day and the pictures Paul managed to get were seriously breathtaking. When we arrived at our hotel Paul was there again as we got out of the car clicking away on the sidelines. Never in our faces and always with a reassuring word to calm any nerves that might try and surface. Paul sent us our ‘sneak peak’ of around 12 photos a few days after the wedding. We were blown away with what we saw and were so excited to see the rest. Choosing Paul Duane as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made when planning our big day. His work is perfect and he captured the best day of our lives so beautifully.

There is only one possible way to sum up Paul Duane and that is absolutely phenomenal!!. From our very first email to Paul right through to our Wedding day, he was every bit the true professional but most of all a genuinely nice guy. His style of photography and very relaxed manner had myself and Gary at ease throughout the day. The photos are really stunning and it's true how a picture can paint a thousand words! Each image I look at brings me right back to how I felt at the very time it was captured. Paul fitted in perfectly on our wedding day. In fact, he felt as if he was part of our family lending a hand if needed and keeping us on track as the day passes by so quickly! Without a doubt, Paul was the most amazing addition to our wedding day and I would highly highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture any event! I look forward to meeting him again in the future.

In one sweeping statement...there is NO ONE better than Paul! What an amazingly talented, kind and fun person! We came to Ireland from NY, just the two of us, and had a very intimate ceremony. We were hoping to find someone who could capture our love in this magical place, and truly transcend the typical posed junk that you see from people who just take pictures. Paul is an artist, who was absolutely prepared and able to deliver on our vision. Equally important and special to us, he is also now a friend. Choose Paul, rest easy...he is the best!

From having dealt with other photographers at other family and friends weddings I can honestly say he was a pleasure to have on our own special day and not in the least bit pushy or overboard, unlike some others. He is unique in that he manages to carry out the job of taking fantastic pictures while making everyone feel completely at ease and comfortable.

I can't recommend him highly enough as a wedding photographer and wish him all the success in the competition.

We had Paul as our wedding photographer and we truly could not have picked better. Firstly we had an engagement photoshoot with Paul in Portumna Forest park and we were feeling a bit awkward coming up to it because we are not posey people so we messaged Paul to see if we could bring our Siberian Husky along and he said absolutely no problem! He's so flexible and really does anything he can to accommodate you to feel comfortable. The day of our wedding was the same, we felt so comfortable it honestly felt like having another friend or family member in the house, he is so easy to chat to and laugh with that all the pictures he takes are so natural. He's never in your face he becomes a shadow and that's amazing because he captures the most amazing photos that way because no one is aware there is lens in their face. Honestly I can't thank him enough and if we were to do the day all over again Paul would be first booked

We engaged Paul to do our wedding photography in March and it was some of the best spent money on our wedding day. From the pre meetings we had whereby he talked calmly through the timing of the day and what we wanted we felt this was the right choice. Paul is a pure professional but was also so friendly and able to give us tips beforehand and during the day which really helped our day go smoothly and as relaxed as possible. He remembered all the little things we had asked him to and had a few surprises himself for us. I can honestly say he went above and beyond and that was before we had even seen the pictures, which needless to say were just stunning. I don't think either of us have ever looked so well! Thanks so much

We had a slight change of plan on the morning regarding our scedule and a quick phone call later Paul was there with a friendly smile! He even offered to source our first dance music when my wife realised she had forgotten the memory stick! Our photos turned out amazing and no one was missed, we love all the casual candid shots that really capture the special little moments throughout the day.

Paul, thank you so much for everything we really couldn't have asked for anymore! Jen & Kev ?

Hi Paul, we just want to say a Huge Thank you for our beautiful wedding photos. Paul you are an extremely talented photographer and your style was exactly what we were looking for. You captured all the Joy, Laughter and Love of the day without us even knowing you were there. You didn't miss a moment & the passion that you have for your work is evident in the photos you took. We will forever recommend you to our friends and family. Best wishes, Avril and Keith Kilkenny xx

We had paul as our wedding photographer on new years Eve and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Not only is paul an amazing photographer, he's an absolute gent. From the minute we got in touch with Paul we knew he was totally what we were looking for and now that we've gotten our photos back we are just blown away by the pictures from our day which captured so many magical moments for us. We honestly never noticed him taking these on the day - paul was amazing in making sure we got all the photos we wanted (& so many more!) but allowed us to spend time with our guests which was so important to us. The only problem is now we don't have a clue how we're going to pick our album photos!! So from the bottom of our newly married hearts thank u so much paul for capturing amazing memories for us :)

Paul is excellent to work with, very clam and a true gentleman. Contact with Paul was good - my husband and I live abroad so Paul responded to emails quickly and was flexible with meeting in person before the wedding. On the day Paul was really professional and could also crack a few jokes! Paul captured great photos - both nature and posed shots. Also asking in advance if there was certain photos we wanted him to take. He also gave us guidance throughout the day. We received the photos quickly after the wedding. Would highly recommend Paul to family and friends.

Working with Paul in the lead up to & during our wedding was lovely! He is very easy to get on with, takes the time to listen but helps you to understand what will & won't work. We were nervous of the photography side, neither of us enjoy being photographed, but of course it's the one day we had to get it right!. To find someone who understood this, put us at ease & ensured we got it right was amazing. Genuinely nice person, value for money & fab photographer! What more can you want - we would 100? reccomend Paul to everyone!

My boyfriend Tyler planned to propose to me in Galway. We live in California so it required quite a bit of planning. Tyler reached out to several photographers to capture the proposal on hidden camera but he said Paul was his first choice. Paul was excellent getting back to Tyler quickly and helping him plan and give suggestions as neither of us had been to Galway before. We are very glad Paul was available to capture the moment. He got some amazing candid and posed photos after and they are beautifully edited and crystal clear. He even sent us a slideshow set to the song "Marry Me" and it included video of the moment Tyler proposed and a few moments before and after. He truly went above and beyond. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Paul has such a warm personality and is great to work with. Super professional and down to earth. He was also sensitive to the fact that we had nervous jitters after our engagement and let us do or not do whatever we wanted with pictures afterwards. Couldn't have been a better experience!

We had Paul as our wedding photographer in July and it was an absolute pleasure. Our wedding day ran so smoothly and that is mainly thanks to Paul. Before the wedding we had a meeting and Paul asked us about our wedding day schedule, and about any particular photos we wanted, he ensured that we didn't miss our wedding day because we were too long taking photos! He took all the photos that we asked him to take and many more, he captured moments that we missed throughout the day and it was like reliving our wedding day when we recieved our photos 2 weeks ago. It was an absolute pleasure to have Paul as part of our day, he was so professional and helpful, he even helped with the button holes! What I really loved about Pauls service was that he wasn't constantly asking us to stand in certain places and pose in particular ways. We had some posed photos that we requested but there are so many "in the moment" photos that really capture the feel of our day! We can't forget to mention Fiona who never hesitated to answer questions I had and kept in touch with me which was so reasuring during the wedding planning process. Both Paul and Fiona were a pleasure to deal with from the very moment we enquired. Paul and Fiona are so passionate about their work and that comes clearly across in the photographs and the general service we have recieved. I highly recommend Paul Duane Photography. Thanks so much, we really appreciate it, Sarah and Paul x

We were thrilled with the service we received from Paul Duane Photography. Paul and his wife were always very responsive to emails, and we met with Paul a couple of months before the wedding to review his work and to get to know him and his style a little better - that was really helpful. On the day, Paul was a gem. He blended into the background and so you would forget he was there, which allowed for some lovely natural photos. He also did a great job of the posed photos. We loved the finished product and feel it was really good value - the photos are just fabulous. Paul and his wife were very quick at returning a preview of the photos to us, plus keeping us updated as to when we would receive the full set. We received the full set within a reasonable time as well. I absolutely would recommend Paul Duane Photography.

Neither of us would be comfortable infront of the camera and his laid back but professional attitude from the first time we met him and the morning of the wedding was super. He helped keep the girls and I calm on the morning and even managed to get some lovely snaps of my very camera shy niece!! The results so far have been amazing. He provided us with a "sneak peek" of photos 48 hours after the day. I would highly recommend Paul.

It was like having a mate follow you around on the day rather than a stranger which comes out in the photos. He tailors the day around your needs and was very professional. We got all the photos we wanted with minimal time away from our friends. We would recommend Paul to any perspective couple and for the quality of photos, he is definitely good value.

When we started looking at photographs for our weeding. I went on to this website and found Paul. I arranged to meet up with Paul. John or I are not really photo people we would be what you call camara shy. On the first evening of meet Paul and talking to him, he really but us at ease. We fell in love with his portfolio. On the day of the wedding paul arrived at my house and from the minute in walked in the door he blended in and you would not know he was in the house. But still caught moments of the morning that I as the bride did not know happened till I saw the photos. We have some very young nieces and nephews and Paul was fantastic with them. There was no moment of the day that paul did not capture for us. We love our photos and could not recommend paul highly enough to and couples getting married.

Paul was amazing! He was recommended to us by our neighbours as he taken wonderful and very relaxed photos for their sisters wedding. We also checked out his web page before contacting him. We wanted to have a record of our day that was relaxed and not posed and that is exactly what we got. Paul was everywhere taking amazing photos and yet he was not in the way - in fact you hardly noticed he was there. Even more than that we met with him before hand and he had great practical suggestions - I wanted both my parents to walk me down the aisle and he reminded me to ask that the aisle was set up a little wider to allow this. During the day as well - for example we had sparklers and balloons with LEDs in them and Paul had kept and e?e on the light and suggested the best time to let them off. We love the photos he took. They really capture the day - lots of laughter and some very funny moments too. We particularly loved the black and white photos. However, my husbands mother wanted some of the black and white ones of her in colour and Paul was fantastic and flexible and sent us those photos changed into colour!

We chose to hire Paul Duane Photography based his mission statement on there web page "(Our style is very much relaxed and natural, we don’t tell couples what to do or boss them about its just not who we are. We give advice or gentle suggestions, not orders. We like things to be as relaxed as possible and we blend into the background that way we can capture real natural moments as they happen and ensure you have photographs you will cherish forever)" True to his word that is exactly what he delivered, we had a wonderful relaxed day and it helped that our photographer was a complete professional, at no point did we or our guests feel like they had a lenses in there faces. We got a lot of great photos and he also put together a photo video, which was amazing. If you're looking for a photographer who will let you enjoy the day and not boss you around Paul Duane Photography would be a wise choice.

Neither of us are huge fans of having our photo taken, but on the day of the wedding Paul just made us feel so relaxed and at ease.

Paul the amount of people that are still complimenting us on your professionalism on the day and the pictures you took is unbelievable.

You took all the shots we asked but it's those that were the unexpected, those that you were so quick to capture that will make us laugh and cry when we are old and grey. You got all the lifts and jumps of joy, the tears and laughter. To anyone reading this in search of a photographer for their big day, if you don't book Paul you're nothing short of a fool.

We are a couple that hate having our photos taken so we were a bit nervous about this part of our wedding, but with Paul as our photographer we shouldn't have worried. Paul was so relaxed and listened to everything we wanted/didn't want. we didn't feel like our day was taken over by posing for pictures. Our photos were delivered very promptly and came in a beautiful leather case. Very very well presented. There was almost 700 photos, I could not get over this as I didn't even realise paul was taking so many. Some of my favourite photos are the natural ones when I had no idea he was taking them. Paul is a fun, patient, relaxed, genuine and extremely talented man. I cannot thank him enough for the memories of our special day. I have recommended him to so many people and will continue to do so. natural photographers are so hard to come by, you would not be disappointed by Paul & his beautiful wife Fiona.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Paul. When I first started looking for a photographer, I was overwhelmed. There were so many in Ireland. Every time that I would find a photographer that I somewhat liked, judging on their pictures, the prices were crazy high. One day, I stumbled across Paul's page. I fell in love with his pictures the moment I saw them. They were natural pictures that capture the happiness and joy that is experienced at weddings. I didn't care what his prices were, I wanted him. The crazy thing was that his prices were by far the most reasonable! We met up with Paul just to see how we would all work together for the wedding. My husband and I booked him that day. I cannot sing Paul's praises enough. He was am amazing photographer. I usually don't like any pictures of myself, but I love almost every one of Paul's from our wedding. He captures the wedding. He'll take shots that you never thought to take, and you'll never even know he is there, so there not staged. But of course, he'll take some group and couple shots as well. He even listened to all of my crazy ideas that I had for photographs :) If you're looking for a wedding photographer, seriously, email Paul right now. I guarantee you that you're not going to be disappointed. I still have friends and family that tell me how amazing he was; and the results just back it up! If you want the best photographer in Ireland, get Paul.

Paul photographed our wedding on the 17th October 2014. From the moment he walked into the house , he put all the girls at ease and was a god send on the morning of the wedding for keeping the nerves at bay! The priest even mentioned how he didn't notice him in the church saying it was a sign of a true professional! And I 100% agree!! We also ordered a signature frame from him which all of our guest signed and is currently waiting to be hung above our mantelpiece! This for me was one of the best purchases of the wedding! :) I LOVE the teasers we have seen already and for a woman who hates her photo being taken that is a big thing! I have had Paul booked for so long for the wedding, that it feels strange it is over! But I hope to have reason to use him again in the future! If you are thinking about booking him for any occasion, do! You wont regret it!!

Having good photos to remember our day was very important to us and we couldn't be happier with what we have received. The mix between posed and natural shots capturing the day was spot on. Paul has been such a pleasure to deal with not only before the wedding but since the wedding too when organising albums etc and dealt with every request we've had so professionally and with such a great attitude. Definitely one of the top suppliers we dealt with and would recommend anyone looking for a photographer to hire him. You won't be disappointed. Keith & Laura

Can only recommend Paul and Fiona 100% from our experience during the build up and after wedding in august 2014. They both were professional yet relaxed and managed to relax us while blending into background and taking lots of natural shots as well as the few necessary posed ones.. also were good value for the various packages on offer. Thanks guys ! Andrew + Aisling .

If I could rate Paul higher I would. He was an absolute pleasure and a gentleman to work with, he put us at ease from the very beginning. He was so professional and deserves every award that he has won.

Paul, What a day, we were so delighted with how the day went, we hardly noticed you around the place and yet all the moments are captured. The laugh we had over brekkie going through the photobooth pics. If anyone is looking for a reference please feel free to pass on my details we have no hesitation in recommending you. Thanks again.

Paul is an outstanding photography. From the initial consultation through to the wedding day and beyond, Paul was professional but friendly and efficient but warm. He took the most amazing photos of us which I still cherish. I can't recommend him highly enough, he made our special day spectacular (and made me look stunning:) xo

Paul is an amazing photographer, himself and his wife make everyone and everything so at ease on the day. From his sense of humour to his professionalism he and his wife are what make your day that bit extra special. Also his attention to capture that shot when you always think no one is watching is incredible, I couldn't rate him any higher if I could.

By far the best money we spent on our wedding. Paul listens to what you want for your big day and more importantly he remembers it all on the day. He takes time to get to know his clients. Fiona was so helpful when we were getting ready and she took some great shots at the reception. They were exactly what we wanted, excellent communication, great fun,blended into the crowd and beautiful photos. We couldn't have asked for more.

We had Paul Duane as our photographer and he was absolutely amazing. From our first meeting to the day of the wedding he couldn't have been more helpful. We got married in April gone and I am still trying to decide on pics for my album. There are just so many fabulous photos to choose from. Paul is extremely professional and so un invasive. He is there to capture all your special moments and gets all the unique photos that you don't even think of. I cant recommend Paul Duane enough as a photographer but don't just take my word for it take a look at his Facebook page. His work speaks for it's self.

Review by Lizzie & Paddy

Paul Duane is the best money I spent on our entire wedding. His photos exceeded our expectations. You hardly notice him for the whole day and then you wonder where all these fab photos came from. Couldn't recommend him enough.

Review by Caraiosa

I had Paul Duane, for my wedding in June. He is lovely, very friendly, excellent photographer, really down to earth! can't recommend him enough! He will put any couple a bit camera shy at ease on their big day! He is a great photographer, so professional. Paul is very prompt with processing your photos onto the DVD and our slideshow is brilliant. Can't wait to get our wedding album! Brilliant value too!!!

Review by Roisin Nic Dhonnachadha

I cannot recommend Paul and Fiona enough. From start to finish they both were so helpful, open to any ideas I had and were so patient and kind when I was a little indecisive!!! Paul made our invites which we're amazing and through the whole wedding day they were both super professional but also so lovely. We will be forever thankful and now we have the best photos to remind us of our wedding day.xx

Review by Tammy & Danny

To Paul, we want to thank you so so much for our beautiful photographs. We are so delighted with the discs and can´t wait to get them printed. The slideshow was beautifully done and we haven´t stopped showing it off to everyone. On the day, you made everyone feel so relaxed and it really shows in the photo´s. I will be recommending you to everyone I can!

Review by Trudie & Oskar

Thanks a million Paul Duane for the wonderful job you did photographing our wedding day. The photos are amazing much better than I hoped for and exactly what I always wanted! You were very patient, friendly and professional on the day and you made sure to get all the important shots without being intrusive which was very important to us. Another thing which was important to us was the budget and Paul delivered here too with very competitive pricing and a top notch service! After the wedding we were very anxious to get a quick turn around on images and Paul delivered this with no hassle at all. We are 100% delighted that we decided to get Paul to capture our special day and would highly recommend him to other brides to be....
