Event Photography Ireland
Event photography for every kind of occasion
From first arrival to last dance.
From college balls and awards nights to conferences, race days and street festivals, I photograph events of all sizes throughout Ireland, capturing the people, the atmosphere and the moments your guests will want to see again.
Event photographer
Photographs that show what your event was really like
Every event has its own atmosphere. A conference feels completely different to a college ball, and a charity gala has nothing in common with a street festival. My job is to understand what matters at yours and make sure it’s captured properly.
I work around the event rather than trying to control it. I cover the planned moments, like speeches, presentations, awards and group photographs, and I keep an eye out for the natural ones in between: guests catching up, reactions from the crowd, performers on stage and the busy dance floor at the end of the night.
The result is a varied, well-edited gallery you can use for social media, your website, press releases, sponsors, internal communications and promoting next year’s event.

For agencies & organisers
A photographer you can rely on, event after event
If you organise several events a year, working with the same photographer makes life easier. Once I know your brand, your clients and the way you run things, you don’t have to brief someone new every time.
I’m used to working to a run sheet, taking direction from event managers and fitting in quietly around guests, speakers and venue staff. I’ll arrive in good time, dress appropriately for the event and keep you updated on the day.

FAQs
Event photography questions
Do you cover events throughout Ireland?
Yes. I'm based in Athlone, so the whole of the Midlands is right on my doorstep, and I regularly photograph events in Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Kerry and further afield.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can. Weekends during ball season and the run up to Christmas are the busiest times of year, so popular dates can go months ahead. For smaller events, a few weeks' notice is often fine.
How much does event photography cost?
It depends on how long you need me for, the type of event and any extras such as QR registration or fast delivery. Coverage currently starts at €190 for the first hour and €100 for each hour after that. For a custom quote, or a multi-day event, get in touch.
How will we receive the photographs?
Through a private online gallery. You can download high-resolution and web-sized images and share the link with your guests.
Can our guests find their own photographs?
Yes. The gallery link can be shared with everyone who attended. For some events I can also set up QR code and email registration so attendees are notified when their photographs are ready.
Can you photograph indoor and outdoor events?
Yes. I bring the lighting needed for dark venues, function rooms and evening events, as well as covering outdoor events in daylight.
Do you work with event management companies?
Yes, and I'm happy to work under your brand on the day, follow your run sheet and deliver the images to you to pass on to your client.
