Dublin Wedding Photography Prices

Hourly Rates €250ph (2 hour min fee)

An initial meeting to chat about your wedding day plans, either at the studio or online.

Two professional wedding photographers to cover your wedding day.

After the initial two hours, time is charged by the quarter hour. Camera files are date stamped and we use this data to accurately calculate the hours we have worked.

There is a booking fee of €300 required to reserve your wedding date. This is non-refundable as most bookings are taken months in advance. It is practically impossible to get another booking for the same date at short notice.

When booking you should estimate the number of hours you will want us to work. The balance of the fee needs to be paid the week before your wedding date.

If its necessary to go over the number of hours estimated for any reason we will ask before continuing, or you might decide you want us to stay longer on the day.

We will inform you of any overrun and the cost incurred, which must be paid within the week following the ceremony; no work on processing the images will begin until any outstanding fees are paid in full, and any delay may result in the wedding being moved to the back of the queue.

Approximately 100-500 photographs will selected and processed by us, we don’t farm our work out to third parties or AI processing software.

We will provide couples with both high resolution JPGs (suitable for printing) and low resolution JPGs (suitable for sharing images online).

We will also supply the camera RAW files & TIFFs of those images we selected - feel free to edit and make your own adjustments for any personal use.

All prices include two wedding photographers, travel within 1.5 hours of Dublin Airport, and personal usage rights for your wedding photos so you don't need to refer back to us for permissions to use them.

We are both fully insured and have appropriate public liability cover.

All prices include a €300 booking fee, which is non-refundable, to reserve the date for your wedding. This must be paid before a booking can be confirmed.

The remainder fee, to cover photography costs, is due the week prior to your wedding date.

We only require a meal to be provided (or the cost of one be covered) if we're working into the evening. Bar food is perfectly fine. It’s a long working day, but as long as we’re topped up with soup and a sandwich we can keep going until we get home and begin backing up your wedding photographs.

Estimating The Hours Required

If you need us just to cover from the ceremony to the sit down, that can be anywhere from 2-4 hours.

A civil service in the Registry Office is 10-20 minutes, depending on music and vows.

A Spiritual or Humanist ceremony takes approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on music and speeches.

A Church ceremony is usually an hour, plus time signing the registry.

If you’re having a formal greet line after the ceremony this will depend on the number of guests, but we have seen a big move away from them over the last couple of years as they can take up to 40 minutes to conclude, which is a substantial chunk of time if schedules are tight.

Don’t forget to allocate time to get from the ceremony venue to the reception, or any locations you might have chosen for your wedding portraits.

If you want to include morning preparations, Jill would normally go to the bride for 2 hours prior to everyone leaving for the ceremony.

Mike can cover photography of the groom for an hour if required — an hour is plenty as the guys usually need to be at the ceremony venue to greet the guests.

If your speeches are before the meal don’t forget you will need to allow 20-30 minutes for all your guests to be seated, and have their orders taken, before couples can make their entrance.

If you’d like us to stay to cover the evening’s entertainment and dances, we would require an evening meal — bar food is fine. At the vast majority of weddings we finish up between around 10pm when covering the first dances, occasionally we finish a bit earlier or later.


What Our Services & Fees Cover

We stopped offering Wedding Albums some time ago as most people weren’t asking for them.

These days there are plenty of album manufacturers who offer an album design service these days, www.milkbooks.com, www.pikperfect.com and enough small companies who will take couples wedding photos and look after the design and printing of their album for them like www.weddingalbums.ie.


Our Wedding Photography Process

We love being wedding photographers, meeting new people and planning their wedding photography with them here in our studio. As the wedding day approaches we provide couples with a shooting schedule for the day, from the feedback we get a lot of them have really appreciated this as it shows them what we expect to happen based on our experience and tailored to their plans and venues.

We take between 2,000 and 6,000 photographs, depending on the number of hours we work - which might sound like a lot but really it isn’t.

Weddings that take a full day to shoot also need 3 to 4 additional days work to fully edit and process everything, something we do ourselves so that we have full control.

Copyright On Your Wedding Photos

As the photographers we would own the original copyright and may use wedding photographs for promotional purposes in order to showcase our work. However, should couples rather we didn't use their particular photos online in promotions it's simply a case of asking, we're more than happy to oblige.

Back Up Your Wedding Photos

We can’t emphasise this enough: with digital images it’s so important to back up your photos on at least one hard drive, preferable your computer and one other external drive that you keep safe. We provide all our files on a portable drive for you to keep. Also, we store all wedding images on two separate external drives for one year ONLY after every wedding at no extra cost, so if something does happen to your copy of the files there’s a good chance we’ll have a back up available to you on request.
