Crying at weddings gets a bad reputation and no one ever thinks they want a photo taken of themselves when they're crying but bear with me...

I love photos of people crying. Not because it’s dramatic, but because it’s real. Tears show up for a hundred different reasons: nerves, relief, gratitude, pride, a line in a speech that hits harder than expected, or a moment you didn’t realise you’d been waiting for.

The crying photos aren’t about the drama, they're about the feeling. In years from now, they're the photos that people come back to. Not because they cried but because of why they cried.

And they’re beautiful to photograph.

Did you know?

I don’t only photograph weddings.

I love photographing babies, families, pets, brand portraits, Jiu Jitsu, street photography… pretty much anything that lets me point a camera at real people and real moments.

I just genuinely love the process of using a camera to tell stories: whether that story happens in a church, a gym, a studio or on a random street corner in Dublin.

PART 2: How I Photograph Kids at Weddings

Photographing kids at weddings is one of the easiest and hardest things at the same time. I've two young boys, so I'm well trained at it and here's what I've learned from over teh years:

You can’t direct them. You can’t pose them and you absolutely can’t ask them to “smile nicely.”. You just have to follow their lead.

I try to stay low to the ground and photograph at their level. I move fast, anticipate the chaos and wait for the tiny moments. The key is: never interrupt. Kids create their own magic if you give them space.

• Kids always find the best light without trying. Helpful. So do dogs actually. I think it's probably a warmth/cosy thing.
• The second they forget I’m there, I get the best photos.
• They tell the real story of the day without meaning to.

Kids at weddings don’t just add to the atmosphere, they become part of the story and capturing that little world happening alongside the big one is genuinely one of my favourite things to photograph.

PART 1 or 2: Why Kids at Weddings Are the Best

Pure chaos. Pure gold. They wander where they shouldn’t, dance when nobody else is dancing, eat cake before they’re supposed to and somehow steal the show without even trying.

They don’t pose. They don’t overthink. They react instantly to everything around them.

They typically have a different set of emotions than the adults:Excitement, boredom, curiosity, joy, boredom again.

They give the whole day a different kind of life. Unpredictable, funny, honest, and full of energy that adults can’t quite replicate.

If you invite kids to your wedding, embrace it.
Let them be wild. Let them explore. Let them steal the show a little.

Your photos will thank you.

The dance floor is one of my favourite parts of a wedding day.By the time it kicks off, everyone has loosened up, the formalities are done and it’s pure, joyful chaos. People doing cringe moves, laughing too hard and spilling drinks in very predictable directions.

I love it because nothing is staged. People forget they’re being photographed and the energy just takes over. Some dance floors are sweet and slow, some are nostalgia and guilty-pleasure anthems. Whatever happens, I’m right there in the middle of it, dodging elbows and hoping not to get hit by airborne pints.

A few top tips for brilliant dance floor photos:
1️⃣ Stay close together.
You don’t need to dance well, nobody does but the closer you are to each other and your friends, the more fun and energy shows up in the photos.

2️⃣ A choreographed first dance? Go for it but with one caveat: couples often stress about it all day and it’s totally fine to stress about something happening early in teh day (like the aisle walk)… but stressing about something at the end of the day can steal a lot of your joy. So if you do it, keep it fun.

3️⃣ Get your bridal party involved early.
If they hit the floor straight away, everyone else follows. It kick-starts the whole night.

Well… it’s been over a year since I did this, so I guess it’s time to say hello properly again.

I’m Kevin. I’m a husband, a Dad and a photographer who over 10 years later still can’t quite believe he gets to call this a job. I live in Dun Laoghaire with Annie (Ireland’s most awarded wedding photographer of all time: which is totally fine and in no way keeps me up at night) and our two boys, Max & Joshie, who are equal parts joy, chaos and lego. So much fu***ng lego.

I’m obsessed with photography… all of it. Weddings. Street photos. Family & baby photos. Dog photos. Printing photos. Old film cameras. Speaking of which, my Contax died in 2025. RIP: death by coffee puddle. Most of my personal work is on film because I love the slowness and the unpredictability of it.

I also run our family studio , which has really taken off and we’re still deep in our other baby - which will bring hundreds of photographers back to Dublin again in early February. This year, for the first time, myself and Annie are both speaking at it. Sharing that stage with Annie and welcoming so many people to our city is one of my favourite parts of the year.

I’m a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, which basically means I spend a lot of time getting strangled by people half my size, twice my size and now by my kids too. It keeps me grounded, keeps me sane and gives me a way to fully switch off from everything else.

And I still believe the same thing I believed when I started: Photography is about authenticity. It’s about curiosity and connection. It’s about telling stories that actually feel like you.

If you’re new here, thanks for being here.
If you’ve been following along for a while, thank you for sticking with me through it all.

Confetti is always a yes from me. Always.

The walk through your guests, that burst of colour, that split second where everyone throws their arms in the air and forgets themselves… it’s pure celebration in every frame.

But m,y favourite confetti photos aren’t actually the classic “walk down the aisle” ones. I love them too, but nothing beats confetti on a dance floor.
That explosive hit when a cannon goes off and the whole room loses its mind.
It turns an ordinary dance floor into a full-blown festival moment.

If you’re on the fence about confetti, especially in the evening… do it.
Petals, paper, neon, biodegradable; whatever you choose, just go big.

A few quick tips to make it epic:
🎉 More is more. You’ll always need double what you think.
🎉 Handfuls beat cones. Bigger throws, bigger reactions.
🎉 Create a tunnel. Get guests in close so the confetti surrounds you.
🎉 Evening confetti? Use a cannon. It looks incredible in photos and feels even better in real life.
🎉 Don’t rush off. Those few seconds after the blast are often the best frames.

On a wedding day, the big moments get all the attention… The ceremony entrance, the first kiss, the confetti bit, the first dance but it’s the little, in-between ones that I look for.

These moments aren’t planned. They’re not staged or performed. They just happen in the gaps between everything else. And they tell the real story of a wedding day.

I love watching for them because in the end, the in-between moments will be the ones that feel the most like you.

Film/analog photography hits differently for me.

Maybe it’s the slowness. The way you have to think before you press the shutter.
The tiny pause that makes you pay attention instead of firing off a hundred frames. With my digital camera, I can easily get through 6000 frames on a day, with film, it's more like 1-3% of that.

Maybe it’s the imperfections; the grain, the light leaks, the occasional blur all the things a digital camera would try to correct. Film doesn’t care about being perfect. It just feels real.

I love the ritual of it. Loading a roll. Not knowing if you nailed the shot. Waiting to see what you actually got.

Most of my personal work is on film because it forces me to slow down and notice things. It changes how I shoot, how I see, how I connect with whatever is in front of me.

And there’s nothing like getting scans back and seeing something you don’t even remember taking. I'm old enough to have started my photography journey (aged 12) with film and using it now reminds me why I fell in love with taking photos in the first place.

Sometimes black and white genuinely saves a photo. A beautiful, tender glance from a bride to her new husband as he pours his heart out during the speeches… except his face is glowing purple from a badly placed uplight.

So you take the colour away and suddenly the moment comes back to life.

Other times, I choose black and white because colour would only get in the way.

There are moments where the connection is stronger than the scene, where the emotion is louder than whatever is happening in the background.

Black and white strips everything back. It slows the frame down.

It lets you feel the moment instead of just looking at it.

04/12/2025

I don't direct moments. There's just no need for it. On a wedding day, they just happen… and they're often in the shape of a hug.

The greeting hug that settles the nerves.
The parent hug that says everything words can’t.
The hug you give your best friend when you realise this is really happening.
The hug on the dance floor where the whole room feels like family.

If I could bottle one part of a wedding day, it would probably be the hugs.

This was my first time at and I loved every minute of it.

Emily & James had all the chill vibes in the world despite the fact that Storm Amy was passing through and they were up in the mountains in rural Wicklow.

They stuck with their plan for a forest ceremony and about halfway through, during their vows; the sun beamed through and it was pretty feckin magical.
Only twenty guests family and close friends and their little boy Myles who was running the show.
Days like this remind me why I love small weddings so much.
