Rose Gowan Photography

Rochestown, Cork
 
I love to photograph weddings! I love weddings because they pack every emotion into one day and sometimes into 5 minutes! I love the build up, the excitement, the last minute changes, the mishaps, and the perfectly laid plans. Surprise, joy, happiness, sadness can all be guests at a wedding. So much emotion packed into one day!I blend photography styles to photograph both posed and unposed images. This allows me to capture the raw emotion and at the same time ensure that no one is missing from the photos. I meet with every bride (and groom if he wants) to discuss ideas (it’s your day after all!!!). Between us we will plan the day. I'll photograph this and all the unplanned stuff as well.

Rose and Dara are brilliant to work with. We have booked them for our wedding In 2019 but as we booked the fly me to the moon package, they had offered an engagement shoot with that! This is a fab idea for anyone that is not used to taking pics or anyone that is nervous about pics on the day itself! Straight away we felt at ease with Rose and Dara as they are so friendly and both have great characters we were laughing for the whole shoot and even though we were nervous at the start we quickly forgot those nerves! We will feel even more at ease now for the big day having worked with them already! for anyone looking for someone different I would recommend Rose Gowan photography - you are getting a great husband and wife team as well as two photographers to catch it all for you!

To me she was more than just a photographer. She handled everything. Honestly I cannot thank them both enough. Ye are brilliant at what ye do and so happy we had ye on the day. .

Thank you again. You made our day.

Any words I could use to recommend Rose would not be enough. I didn't realise the importance of a photographer on a wedding day but I do now. We definately made the right choice! Rose, ensured everything and everyone was in the correct place at correct time while creating a relaxed atmosphere for the day.
The most important part ... The photos- they are absolutely amazing! I had forgotten so many parts of the day, looking through them brought back so many memories. I just want to keep scrolling through them. Thank you both so much for making the day so easy and relaxed

I loved having Rose and her husband photograph our wedding!!! They were so easy to work with (also very affordable and so funny!), and helped us with so many other wedding details, due to us being from the US, and not being familiar with the area. I will also say that the photography was so beautiful and stunning..when I showed my friends and family the pictures, they were blown away by the high quality of the pictures, and how well Rose and her husband captured all of our special moments (they were also great with all our guests and made sure everyone was having fun!) I would would highly recommend! If we come back to Ireland for any other event, we will be hiring Rose again! :)

I really and truly cannot recommend Rose and Dara enough! From the moment I contacted Rose I knew that she understood our needs and would be the perfect photographer for our special day. We live in England so had no opportunity to meet with Rose before the big day, but we spoke on the phone and she went through absolutely everything with us and I was secure in my mind that she would capture our day perfectly. On the big day, Rose looked after me, and Dara looked after my (now) husband! They honestly and truly went above and beyond every step of the way and gave us helpful tips to get the best pictures. Not only this, but they made us feel completely relaxed while they snapped away - this really shows in our photos!
All of our guests commented afterwards on how fantastic our photographers were! Do not hesitate to contact Rose - but be sure to do it early as she gets booked up very quickly!

It's very difficult to find a photographer who, by capturing all the subtle moments and wondrous energy during the day, can provide you with photos that each tell a story. Our wedding day was like a fairytale and with Rose's photos we will forever be transported back to it.

Thanks guys. Super to be part of your day too.

Every time I look at our wedding album I'm brought straight back to that wonderful day and that is thanks to Rose, her passion for her job and the magical way she captured our wedding. From the moment I met her I knew she was the photographer for us. Her style of photography is amazing and she has a way of making you so relaxed in front of the camera you'll be having so much fun you won't feel like you're being photographed at all.

From our initial meeting to designing the album Rose was so professional and made sure that we had everything we wanted from start to finish. She truly was amazing to work with. I'm so glad we chose her and couldn't recommend her enough. We've just been back for our first family photo shoot and as always, it was a pleasure being photographed by Rose.

If you are looking for a photographer that will give you photos that bring you right back to your wedding day every time you look at them, you can stop now Rose is the one for you, I would recommend her over and over and was so happy to have her there to capture our precious memories.
