Annie Holland Photography

Tubberboe, Durrow, Co. Laois
 
I began my photography career in live music and travel photography and got into wedding photography about twelve years ago just for friends only. However, I quickly discovered that I love shooting weddings and in particular the weddings of people that are after something very special.My style of wedding photography is best described as a combination of fine art photography and photojournalism. Rather than posed or highly styled shots, I like to shoot documentary-style pictures that capture candid pictures of people, décor and action.I always try to choose angles and backgrounds that make everything look its best and once I’ve done that I can capture something real from you, the couple. Where possible I look for an intimate space for group portraits as there I find, I get more interaction with everyone and there is no need for dramatic posing or lots of direction and most importantly we are not gone from the party for hours!In short - I love meeting new people and the great pictures that I can create in new exciting venues, focusing on the documentary style of each unique wedding day, capturing the moments of the day with feeling and atmosphere and hopefully give you more than just photographs of your day.

I contacted Annie with ideas of how I wanted our wedding shot, I really wanted it to be documented rather than too many posey shots - but with Annie's ideas added to what we wanted we got photos that we were totally blown away with! Annie was just so relaxed with us & our families it just made the photo part of the day really relaxed & fun rather than a chore!! We also had so much fun with her on the day too & that really is reflected in the photos! I can't recommend her enough!!

Annie is very relaxed which really helped with a very nervous bride that doesn't like being in front of the camera. My family remarked on how good she was with getting the picks of the day without you realising that it was being done.
Annie is also excellent with kids and was a star with our youngest and our oldest son who has Aspbergers.
The quality of the pics and some of the moments she had captured were truly perfect.
We found the cost of it all to be very reasonable and we would be more than happy to recommend her. It was a delight for Annie to be part of our quirky wedding.

Everything about your West Cork Wedding was fantastic from fun family photos in fields full of cows to romantic shots on secret beaches! Your families and friends are so full of love for you both and it was a joy to capture it all. I just KNOW ye will have a wonderful life together!
Best Regards, Annie

We hired Annie for our wedding and it was the best decision we ever made. From our first meeting to our wedding day she made us feel comfortable and relaxed. On our wedding day she took the pictures that we really wanted and then she was in the background taking photos as we requested that we didn't want all our time taking up with them. When we got the picture from her of our wedding day they were the best quality ever. She took such excellent pictures of guest and of myself and my new husband without us even knowing and I loved every one of them. We would highly recommend Annie to any bridal couple looking for a photographer for their special day.
Response from Annie Holland Photography
Thank you Deirdre and Vince, it is a pleasure to work with Couples who after discussing what you would like, trust me to deliver these moments in a relaxed, fun manner, as well as capturing the formal images too. Congrats to you both and look forward to seeing ye both on your return from Australia- Have fun choosing for the album!! All the best - Annie

Annie was really thorough and professional, even though we were very disorganised and didn't book her til a few days before the wedding. She went out of her way to make people feel at ease, made great suggestions on photo locations and was a pleasure to work with.

We loved having Annie as a photographer at our wedding. Annie is fun, creative and a bundle of energy. She has a great eye and captures the quirky details of the day really well. It wasn't just us that loved her, all our wedding guests felt really comfortable with her too and she's so charming it's hard to say no to her suggestions! Annie is very generous with her time on the day, and we can't recommend her highly enough.
Response from Annie Holland Photography
Hi Aideen and Ciaran- thanks for such a lovely review and I'm really delighted you love the photo's – you both really made my job easy on the day with how relaxed you both were…..shooting your city wedding was so much fun and a delight from start to finish!
Best Regards, Annie

When looking for a suitable photographer for our wedding our number one criteria was finding someone with whom we could feel relaxed and one who could document the day in as natural and ?unposed? way as possible. Annie's charm, warmth and sense of humour helped to make us, and indeed all our wedding guests feel at ease. The resulting images show spontaneity, creativity and a genuine artistic flair? better than we could have ever imagined. We couldn?t have been happier and would recommend her without question.
Response from Annie Holland Photography
Thanks so much Colette and Gerry, it was lovely to work with you guys on one of the most important days in your lives. I love interacting with the Bride and Groom, the Bridal Party, the Families and all the friends and to hear you felt that I just fitted in was amazing, because that is what I try to do for every wedding day. That way, you both get all the beautiful photos they deserve and your guests feel a real part of your day too!
Congrats on the new additions to you family too! All the best Annie

The last thing we wanted from our wedding photos were different combinations of the same people looking like they were trying to enjoy themselves. Annie Holland came along and in an unobtrusive way captured the essence of our day, from a photo of Aileen's sister fixing her dress to an anxious looking priest waiting for the prayer books to arrive. However the best part, and something which everyone was talking about for ages afterwards, was her "photo-booth" which was set up in the hotel lounge. It was the wedding equivalent of a passport photo machine, the kind you and five mates would cram into on a Saturday afternoon in town. Poses were struck, people made fools of themselves and loved it. She made what could have been a stressful day (involving in-laws) extremely easy. Every wedding should come with an Annie Holland
Response from Annie Holland Photography
Hi Ruairi and Aileen- What a day, what a dress and what love and fun flowed through your wedding celebration- thank you both for choosing me and I had a really great time at your wedding and the photo-booth really was a blast! I am so delighted you love the photos. All the best Annie

Annie has a very fun and easy going and relaxed style, while still remaining to keep the professional approach in her work .We felt so relaxed with her and none of our shots seemed staged or had strained smiles. We were both extremely delighted with the results and would definitely recommend Annie to our own friends and family

Response from Annie Holland Photography
Jane and Patrick- It was a true pleasure to work with you both. Kilkenny city gave us some great locations for the photos and it was great that we were able to create so many moments for you all to enjoy - you guys are naturals! Congrats again to you both. All the best for the future- Annie
