Paul & Joe did the photography for our wedding in October. I would highly recommend. They were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and the photos turned out amazing! Paul is so attentive and even met with us at our venue in the lead up to the wedding to get to know us - such a lovely touch. Thank you both for capturing the best images of our wedding!

Paul was really responsive in the lead up to the wedding and an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. He had a second photographer with him on the day (Joe) and they were both brilliant throughout. Most importantly the photos were excellent, anyone who has seen them absolutely loved them. He got all the images to us really quickly and included a gorgeous photo book and a personalised memory stick which made things really easy. Could not recommend him highly enough.

Paul was our photographer for our wedding in mid May 2014. I cannot say enough good things about Paul and his team. Paul is fantastic. He takes beautiful photos and has such an amazing eye for detail. He is a lovely person to deal with. Paul made all our families feel so relaxed . Our family and friends are still commenting on how nice he was and the fun they all had on the day. Both Simon and myself are delighted with our photos. They are amazing, more than we could ever have imagined and capture our day perfectly. I would happily recommend Paul and his team to anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion.

Paul was the photographer for our wedding in January and we were so lucky to find him. He captured the joy of the day and added to it by putting everyone at ease. We are delighted to have such wonderful photographs from such a special day.

The whole experience with Paul kelly and his team was just so easy and professional. From the initial idea emails to our chats closer to the wedding, and well the day of the wedding Paul and Joe were just outstanding! Never missing a moment, keeping myself and my husband ( who normally hates getting his picture taken!) calm and relaxed. Our guests had nothing but praise for Paul and Joe, and they both became part of the day within in no time. I really could not be more genuine when I say that Paul and his team not only deliver the highest standard of photography and some of the most breathtaking shots I have ever seen, but there professional and fun attitude they brought to our day just completed it perfectly! Our pictures our stunning and something I will treasure forever!!!!! Thank you Paul and Joe it was truly a pleasure to meet you!!

We cannot say enough good things about Paul and his team. Paul charmed the parents, entertained the kids, captured so many magically moments and, really importantly, was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Paul knew the venue (Kilshane) really well so he knew exactly how to capture the best of it. Paul even managed to catch perfect photos of notoriusly difficult-to-photograph guests! Paul is an absolute gem, I would have no hesitation recommending him to family and friends. Thanks again Paul!

This has been a while coming Paul - apologies.
I asked Paul to shoot our wedding in Tuscany in June of last year, which was a bit of a poisoned chalice, as I am also a photographer! Paul knowing the pressure he would be under and also including my input to poses etc (interference really!) took it all in his stride and produced great memories for us. We are both delighted with the work Paul and wish you the best for the new year. We would both be delighted to recommend you to anyone and if you ever want the favor returned just ask!!!

Picking the photographer is one of the hardest parts of planning a wedding. They are there for the most intimate parts of your day and need to capture all of the special moments (and the funny ones) without interrupting anything. When we met Paul we knew that he would slot into our day effortlessy and in fact he added to it!
He knew how to orgainse people, get the perfect shot and even make people who hate getting their photo taken enjoy it and pose! Everyone commented on how nice and funny he was, and he was great at remembering people's names especially the Grannys! By the end of the night everyone knew him!
It was great that he was able to stay until well into the dancing. There is so much that happens after the meal and it was great to get people in photos that couldn't make it to the Church. At this late stage people let their hair down and some of the photos he managed to get are hilarious.
I think it's a testament to Paul's work that it took us about 4 months to pick the photos for our wedding album-we just couldn't narrow them down! It's great to have photos that range for naturally caught moments, to group shots, to photos of us that are so artistic it's hard to believe it's actually us! We can not thank Paul enough for the memories he captured for us through his amazing photos and we can honestly say that if you book him for your wedding you will be blown away!

Both Paul and his photography skills are just fabulous! We got married in August 2011 and Paul was able to capture the day perfectly with a funky edge which is what we asked for! We are a couple who don't like to be photographed but were blessed with Paul, his charm, sense of humour and ability to get a bunch of people to smile at the one time was amazing! All of our guests thought Paul was super and we could not recommend him highly enough.

We used Paul for our wedding in July this year and he was absolutely brilliant! I was unsure of whether or not to even hire a professional photographer because I didn't want to spend hours posing while my guests were enjoying the party, but Paul turned out to be just what I wanted. He took great group shots in about 15 minutes with everyone smiling and relaxed, and also got some great shots of myself and my husband on our own which were not too "posey". Finally, he took some fantastic and sometimes hilarious shots of our guests, which really helped to capture the fun and relaxed feeling of the day. I'm so glad I decided to hire Paul, because I now have such beautiful memories of my wedding day, without feeling like I missed half of it getting my photo taken!! If you want a photographer who will go the extra mile and make you and all of your guests feel relaxed and comfortable while capturing brilliant memories, Paul is your man.

We used Paul for our wedding in June and are absolutely delighted with our photographs! All our family and friends commented on how much craic they had with Paul; he was brilliant with everyone and we got through the "group shots" effortlessly! We had great fun with Paul on the day and would highly recommend him to anyone!!

We got married in december and i was very apprehensive about the photographs, i dont like my photo being taken but we were made to feel at ease with Paul and he is some character, nothing is staged if thats what you want and he just fits in with the crowd, we got to like him so much we invited him to sit for dinner with our guests and booked him for the evening footage also. He captured all aspects of the wedding in the comfortable style we wanted, there was no intrusion or hours spent on the family shots which i have had to put up with as a bridesmaid.
Thanks Again

Soppy, stilted and staged....when looking for a wedding photographer, I knew exactly what I DIDN'T want!Paul's relaxed, slightly quirky and good humoured approach was perfect for us. He got some lovely, natural shots of us as well as some great pictures of our friends and family.
He took some lovely pictures of the ceremony and managed to capture the subtle exchanges as well as the more unexpected, funny shots (the manic camcorder auntie, the larger than life priest, the bride's shoe stuck in a bride) and yet we never felt that he was getting in the way.
Paul's photos definitely conveyed the warmth, love and good humour of our happy day, but without the extra dollop of cheese ! If you want a professional with a human side who captures natural, thoughtful and story-like shots of you both and your guests, Paul is your only man.

We used Paul for our wedding in May after he was recommended by another photographer. Not only were the photographs he took brilliant and exactly what we were after but he went down a storm with our family and friends. So much so the sister in law hopes to use Paul again for her wedding next year. They say repeat service is the best compliment!

It is hard to capture in a few words our absolute delight with Pauls work at our wedding. On the day he was fantastic keeping everyone comfortable and getting through the family shots painlessly and very speedily. As for the photos themselves we are thrilled at how incredible they have turned out and the only problem is which to choose, a great complaint from a couple who would not consider themselves photogenic

Well I am not sure where to start with Paul, as I am still hearing comments from family & friends about how great he was & relaxed he made the wedding party & our guests feel. From the time I met Paul 6 months prior to our wedding I knew Paul would do an amazing job.
Myself & William are thrilled with the end products, the photographs highlight our wedding to a tee. Paul managed to get the 'required' shots for parents & relatives but at the same time managed to capture the fun shots throughout the day... Paul was liked that much that even some of our guests began taking photographs of Paul & myself!!A true gem that makes all feel relaxed & at ease with photographs... I would definately highly recommend Paul to any bride.
Thanks again Paul :)

We got married in August and had Paul as our photographer, everyone is still telling us what an addition he was to the day. Paul put everyone at ease joking and laughing, but also blended into the background when necessary and let people forget he was there, so he managed to take lovely relaxed pictures that capture our friends and family members's personalities that we are just delighted to have. He's a dote!

We really wanted photos that looked like *our* wedding, not like something generic out of a catalogue, and we really wanted a photographer who would fit in easily and unintrusively. Paul was perfect. He's casual and cheerful and made people feel at ease, and he got a great variety of shots - everything from funny, quirky ones through some that are real works of art. Our photos are fresh, different and beautiful, and we love them.

We were married on July 25th 08. We said from the beginning we would not scrimp on our photographer because the photos were very important to both of us. We put a lot of time and research into finding the right person, and we definitely made the right choice.Paul was everything we hoped for.From our first meeting we had total confidence in him and just knew he'd do an amazing job.And he really did.Our only problem was choosing shots for the album, it was so hard to pick!Some of the best shots are the ones we didn't even notice him taking.But still there's the right balance of posed shots too. There are so many photographers out there but just take a look at Paul's work and you'll see how much he stands out from the crowd. He was brilliant all the way through and fitted in seamlessly on the day,as did his assistant Claire Francis, she was lovely too.Your photos are the next best thing to your memories and we're so happy we picked Paul to capture ours.Anyone reading this struggling to make a choice, please look at his work, you won't be dissapointed!!

I was married on April 30th 2005 and Paul Kelly was our photographer. There truly are not enough words to say how highly i would reccomend him. He is a true genius. Our photos are amazing. I guess the only way to get across how brilliant Paul is, is by saying that we are now married 3months and i still cannot pick my photos for the album.I want them ALL.haha. Paul made both myself and my husband feel so relaxed on the day, we'd a great laugh and the photos are exactly what we wanted. Natural, fun, bright, and he captured the scenery in powerscourt like magic. Aswell as my husband and I not being able to find one fault with Paul the rest of our family and friends commented on his expertise and 'flare' on the day. He's a tru master of his art.
