I just love weddings, and I love being able to photograph them. Wedding photographs are some of the most important images in a person’s life, and I have that constantly in mind when I photograph a couple’s big day.I take a relaxed approach to your wedding photographs, having first met both the bride and groom to find out exactly what you want from your wedding photographs (and who’s who and where’s where). That allows you to get on with enjoying your day without wondering where to go next or who to get for what photograph.Formal photographs are important, obviously, but with that little bit of pre-planning we get through them in no time at all, allowing you and your families to relax and enjoy the drinks reception for as long as possible. Most of the images I take are informal, showing you and your guests enjoying yourselves, and they are the ones that capture the happiness, joy (and sometimes tears - but usually happy tears!) of the big day.I travel light – no tripod here – and I dress like a guest, so I can blend and mingle and capture candid shots that will really tell the story of your day.All of my packages include + post-processed files in high resolution so you can print whatever photographs you want, for whoever wants them. I also create a slideshow of images that tells the story of your day for you to share with family and friends, and when the final shots are ready, they go online in a password-protected gallery for you to choose from for an album. If you want an album, that is. For those who do, I offer a choice of styles and colours. The tricky bit is narrowing down your shots to or so for inclusion in the album.My standard coverage runs from early in the morning (to keep things relaxed) up until you both sit for dinner, whenever that is. If you’re having speeches before dinner I’ll stay for those. If you’re having speeches after dinner, or want photographs of your first dance, I offer an extended package to include those too.Finally, below are some nice things that nice brides and grooms said about me. If you want to chat to me about your wedding photography, or enquire about my availability, contact me at any time.

If you are looking for an excellent photographer and an absolute gentleman then Ronan is your man! From his patience during a number of postponements, his professionalism and helpfulness on the day of our wedding and the quality of his photos he ticks all the boxes and really delivers, we were just so delighted that we had him photograph our wedding. Would highly highly recommend to anyone getting married.

Well, what can I say - I literally cannot say enough about this man and his photographic talent!!!

We booked Ronan (no body else came anywhere close in our preferences) after I met him at a friends wedding in July 2016. At that point, I believe he had already done photography for that grooms cousins wedding and possibly a friend/cousin before that. He was also booked for the grooms brothers wedding a few years later if I remember correctly. We viewed our friends wedding album some time after we got engaged and I knew there was no research to be done on wedding photographers - we were going with Ronan!

As we were faced with plenty of COVID restrictions in the lead up to the wedding last year, our first meeting with Ronan took place over Zoom - he couldnt have made us feel more comfortable and we had plenty of chats and laughs and got to know us both a bit better and got a feel for what we were looking for on the day.

On the day, he arrived at my parents house in good time and settled in to quietly wandering around the house, capturing the most amazing photos of parts of the house and different moments that I'd never have even dreamed of! Ronan has the ideal personality for his job and clicks with everyone that's around on the morning of the wedding.

Having taken a few photos at my parents house, he drove up to our house where my now husband was with his family and Best Man and took some more amazing photos here before returning to my parents house for me leaving for the venue. Combined with the super organisation of our hairstylist Adrienne (Powder Room Girls) and our makeup artist (Rhona Cullinan), Ronan helped to keep us all on schedule and on our toes for the lead up to the departure time for the wedding venue.

We booked Ronan's longer day package, to include the Shot in the Dark photo - I cannot tell you how highly I rate this. I'd seen so many amazing shots in his portfolio and in magazines, for which he's won awards and just had to have him do a photo of us like this! He did NOT disappoint.

I'll never forget the fun, laughs and chats we had with Ronan on the wedding day, both during the morning in my parents house and throughout the day at the wedding venue! He is there and taking so many amazing photos, yet you barely even realise he's around. Such a quiet, gentleman with amazing talent!!

I was looking to do a slideshow of photos of both my husband and I as babies, up through childhood and towards our wedding date, as a surprise for my husband on the day. I'd mentioned this to Ronan and asked him if he could recommend software I could use or ways in which I could organise it. He offered to quickly throw the photos I'd spent weeks organising together with music for me and as we had him booked for the longer day package, he connected it up to the projector screen with his laptop. OMG, the results were so much better than I ever could have imagined or done myself - the selection of photos he'd taken that morning and at different points in the day, that he'd added in at the end, were the icing on the cake! The whole slideshow and some of the songs still bring tears to my eyes! Such a lovely memory to have to look back on from our wedding day.

The morning after our wedding day, we woke in the Bridal Suite to a message from Ronan with a sneak peak of some of our wedding photos, including the Shot in the Dark photo - it was amazing, still so in love with it!!! We went away on a Minimoon only a few days later and on arrival in our first hotel, I received an email from Ronan with a link to a further sneak peak of some of our photos from the day - perfect start to our Minimoon!

If you're looking for a photographer for your wedding, I would highly recommend that you look no further than Ronan Palliser - the man's a legend and you will NOT be disappointed!!!!

For any Bride and Groom Ronan is the top choice for your wedding photographer. He captured our day beautifully through easygoing shots of every aspect of the day. I can honestly say it is a pure picturebook of the day even including the staged posed photos which were taken so quick that did not impose on the whole day. Ronan arrived at my house and blended in the whole day which is what you want. He makes all at ease and has great simple direction that gets a fantastic photograph. He has great ideas and the meet and greet before the big day was very professional and allows you to request any particular photos of people on the day. I would highly recommend his service and from all the positive comments received by my guests it really reflected what a professional, unimposing, approachable photographer Ronan is. Book him!!

Cannot praise Ronan enough, what a fantastic photographer. Great eye for some beautiful pictures. He was the photographer for my brothers wedding the year before and from that so many of our friends and family booked him and it was the same following ours. You don't even know he's there at parts of the day where he's away taking some stunning natural photos of your family and friends and he listens to what you want from your day and it certainly didn't disappoint. Thanks again Ronan, we love our pics.

Ronan is amazing. I cannot stress this enough. I liked his portfolio and the relaxed nature of his shots, but he has exceeded my expectations. Ronan met with us twice in the run up to the wedding which helped with being relaxed on the day. He has a great dry sense of humour and kept the family portraits light by cracking a few jokes. He had our wedding slideshow done really quickly and I am so delighted with the photos. Ronan is up there with some of the best wedding photos I?ve seen. The photos really tell a story and capture the magic of the day.

Thanks again for the amazing wedding photos. We all watched the slideshow together at home and we all loved them. The fact that Ruairi and Rosie were trying to get in touch with you for their wedding straight after watching them says it all!

Both of us are totally blown away by your documentation of our wedding day. The photographs are amazing and very precious to us. We are truly blessed to have such amazing pictures. Thank you so much for looking after us both so well and for your professionalism on the day. Your presence and your pre-planning really helped to put us and our guests at ease and helped make the day run very smoothly for us. I had no concept before the day of how important this aspect would be, so many many thanks.
