David McAuley Photography

If you are looking for a photographer who is more than a background figure, David McAuley is your person! He stayed long past his deadline to capture the joy and magic that was our lovely day of love. The moment I saw him dancing with the camera is when I knew we made the right choice. Yes, his daytime photography was fantastic! But it was what he captured at dinner (and afterwards) that set him apart from the rest.

David from start to finish was so easy to work with capturing all of our very special moments he was there from 11 that morning until 11 at nigh we felt very comfortable with David so professional such a lovely guy to deal with highly recommended David

David was an absolute gentleman and a perfectionist, so so helpful on the day with everything and made me feel so comfortable and as if I had known him for a long time.. he went above and beyond ensuring that he took the perfect photos and helped me with my dress during the outdoor photos and also getting in and out the of wedding car. I would highly recommend David for your big day!

Review: David - The Perfect Wedding Photographer

We were lucky enough to have David as our photographer for our wedding day, and we cannot express how brilliant he was throughout the entire experience. From our initial face-to-face meetings to the delivery of our final photos, David's professionalism, calm demeanor, and creative ideas made him the perfect choice for capturing our special day.

Right from the start, David made us feel at ease. His relaxed and easy-going nature instantly created a comfortable environment, allowing us to feel natural and genuine in front of the camera. He patiently listened to our ideas and preferences, taking the time to understand our vision and incorporating his own unique suggestions.

David's creativity and eye for detail truly stood out. He expertly captured the essence of our wedding, effortlessly finding the perfect angles and moments to freeze in time. With his guidance, every shot felt natural and authentic, resulting in a collection of photos that truly reflected the emotions and energy of the day.

One aspect that impressed us greatly was the speed at which we received a preview of our photos. Within just a few days, David shared with us more than 90 breathtaking images that beautifully encapsulated the highlights of our wedding. It allowed us to relive those precious moments and share them with our loved ones, creating an immediate sense of joy and nostalgia.

Furthermore, David's value for money was exceptional. Not only did he provide us with this preview, but a few months later, we received a lovely USB containing all of our photos, allowing us to revisit our memories anytime we wanted. The quality of the images was outstanding, showcasing David's keen attention to detail and technical expertise.

Overall, David's brilliance as a wedding photographer cannot be overstated. His calm and relaxed approach, combined with his creative ideas, make him a true professional to work with. The amazing photos he produced exceeded our expectations and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We wholeheartedly recommend David to anyone searching for an excellent photographer who values both quality and value.

David was an utter gentleman, so calm going above and beyond. We were all chuffed with the pictures on our big day absolutely recommend!

I cannot recommend David highly enough. He was incredible to deal with. From the first planning meeting we could see his dedication. He made loads of important suggestions that made our photos personal and treasured. On the day David was amazing with my now wife. He put her at complete ease throughout the day and the results were truly amazing. Again, such a nice person and an incredible photographer. 10/10 - best decision we made on our wedding day bar none.

Great phottaphy we'll pleased would recommend totally stayed till late night of d wedding and very patient helpful and patient recommend david excellent

I could not recommend David higher, he was absolutely fantastic. I didn't want to spend half my day getting photos taken so I wasn't even pushed on a photographer although I did want pictures. When I spoke with David he completely made me feel at ease and gave us a very reasonable package that suited what we needed. He was absolutely fantastic on the day and got brilliant photos that we were so happy with. I literally couldn't recommend him high enough. He was absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced.

Hi David,

Thanks so much for our Wedding album. We absolutely love it, it's fab. We're delighted with it. Thank you for everything, the whole process from before our wedding, during the day, and all your work for our photos afterwards. You are such a professional and we are thrilled you were our photographer. You are a lovely person and your love and dedication for your job shows in your work. We will definitely be recommending you to family and friends.

Thank you again.

Karen and Peter.

We had David as our wedding photographer for our wedding in the Springfield hotel. From the beginning he was amazing to work with, filled us in on everything we needed to know, always got back to us with questions we had. We felt so comfortable with him, from the first meeting, the meetings to discuss what exactly we wanted, location of photos and who we would like in them was all discussed in detail before the wedding, this meant that on the day of the wedding we were able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything else. He was amazing and the photos turned out great and the album is amazing and such good quality. I could not recommend David himself and his work enough. It was a pleasure to have him involved in our day.

David is absolute gentleman. He makes you feel so relaxed even on morning of your wedding. We didn't even realise he was around but yet the amount of photographes that was taken from morning to night was amazing. He was always on hand to take questions and answered them promptly. We would thoughly recommended David as you photographer for your special day as he makes it so special

David is an incredible photographer! He captured beautiful images from our big day but most importantly he was so good to work with. He responded to emails promptly when planning the wedding and was amazing on the wedding day. He blended into the background but still captured all the photos we wanted. We got a beautiful mixture of formal photos and casual relaxed pictures of us and our guests!! We would highly recommend David for couples planning their wedding. Some of our pictures can be seen here https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/people/arid-40360664.html

Was very happy with the service and the photos all turned out great.

David provided an excellent service on the day, particularly as we got married during Covid restrictions which severely limited our guest numbers. He has captured the essence of our day perfectly and has provided us with wonderful memories of our special ?little big day?.

David provided a great service for our wedding day. He was very patient and courteous. He got all the shots we wanted with our families and friends and stayed until late to capture the whole day. All the photos were on his website for viewing afterwards. David has a good eye for a photograph and he also did a couple of nice black and white shots. Highly recommended.

David was the photographer at our wedding on October 3rd 2020. He was very professional and friendly at all times and kept in contact with us throughout our wedding planning. He was very responsive to emails and also very helpful when recommending other suppliers in the industry.
He made us both feel very calm and comfortable and brought a lot of fun on the day with our bridal party. We were over the moon to receive some pre-view pictures the day after the wedding, it was a lovely surprise!!
We would highly recommend David to future brides and grooms. Thanks so much for everything!!

Couldn't recommend David enough. He was fantastic from start to finish. He went above and beyond to ensure we got all the photos we wanted. He was very flexible and we were delighted with our photos.

David was recommended to us by our venue as we had about 3 weeks to organize it due to covid restrictions and we couldnt have been happier that they did. He zoom'd called us just to get to know us and what we wanted from the day. He was really professional due to all the restrictions with social distancing. Our photos were amazing, looking at the them you wouldnt have even known what was going on in the world, just 7 people having an incredible time.
Thanks for capturing our day.
Richie and Tam

David was great to deal with - he provided a sample of his work to help us make the decision to hire him and on the day was full of ideas and unobtrusive during the ceremony as we'd discussed. David got wonderful photos, a lovely mix of formally posed and "fly on the wall". We'd happily recommend David McAuley Photography for your wedding/ other event!

We initially didn't want a photographer but David was so unobtrusive that we hardly knew he was there and the resulting photographs were great and natural.

We were very happy with the service provided by David and the quality of the photos taken. We arranged our wedding at relatively short notice and David was quick to respond to us. He took the time to meet us and understand our needs. Our wedding was split over 2 days (ceremony and reception) and even though he had other appointments the photography didn't feel rushed and he gave us as much time as we needed. Some of our guests even commented on how nice he was and how he did a good job without being too pushy or getting in the way.

David was fantastic. Completely professional. We had a very small wedding, just 6 of us, in Dublin City centre. We got fabulous shots in grafton Street and Stephens Green. I would recommend David to anyone and also great value for money.

My husband and I traveled from overseas to have our wedding blessing in Wicklow. David was very accommodating from the beginning, answering questions and providing us with information to assist us with our special day. We wanted to have our blessing somewhere unique but traveling from far away we had not seen the location ourselves. David set aside time to meet us at our destination spot prior to the wedding and assisted us in planning details for the day of. He also provided us with additional information to help us with our travels in Ireland. David is very genuine. He takes his work seriously but also cares about interacting and getting to know the guests. The photos we got back are absolutely stunning. Every time we look through the photos we get to relive the experience. We are so thankful we found David. He really cares about the individuals he works with and his photography is spectacular.

Excellent service. Took loads of photos and captured the day perfectly. Would definitely recommend.

David was an absolute pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond for us. He couldn't have been more accomodating on the day and we were so delighted with the quality of photos that we received.

We choose David to be our wedding photographer after researching online various photographers. David provided exceptional service from start to finish and always answering any queries for us. I would definitely recommend David for any event and hopefully will use his services again in the future

Our wedding was 9 Nov 2018 and it rained badly. We were a Dublin City wedding and had planned to have all out shots on Sandymount and in town however the rain changed plans. David accommodated us by setting up for our portraits indoors going to his car for equipment. He also came out in the rain and got the most amazing shots, which I did not want to do initially. I can not recommend him enough for going above and beyond and making our wedding photos

Couldn't have gotten a better photographer than David. He went above and beyond for us and put us at ease. He is one of the nicest people you could meet. Our pictures that we got are amazing. Can't recommend him enough.
Thank you David.

Jayne & Danny

Great service and photos

David had a knack for being very professional but also very friendly and approachable. Our first meet up with David was straightforward and I would recommend him highly.

What an excellent photographer. David is a professional at what he does, from the time he came in the morning until he left (nearly midnight!) he made sure We were all relaxed and very natural in the pics. I can't wait to see the pics! If you are looking for someone who knows what they are doing and goes beyond expectations, I would highly recommend David.

We were so happy that we chose David to take our wedding photos. David was super. He was very professional and kind and looked after us and our guests very well. Our photos were fantastic. I would highly recommend David as a wedding photographer

We met David through a family wedding in 2016 and after chatting to him and seeing his finished work we knew there was no one else we would be booking for ours. David puts you at ease on the day and has great tips and ideas to help get your perfect photos to create perfect memories. Couldn't recommend him enough! Thank you David for helping us capture our special day.

David just worked around us on the day and made us feel at ease. He got some fantastic unposed shots

David was very professional throughout the day. Was discreet at our home in the morning and made the wedding party feel at ease.

David was so calm and efficient to deal with from the start. He had so many suggestions and ideas while taking ours on board. He travelled a long distance to out wedding but nothing was an issue for him. All our guests commented on how unassuming he was on the day and our photos were so relaxed and captured the day just as we had hoped. He was very prompt with photos and even had something for us the next morning.

We had a great wedding day, which was captured beautifully by our wedding photos that we will cherish forever. David was great to work with, he worked with us to understand what we wanted and to fit in around our plans for the day and get some great shots of us and all of our family and friends along with helping us out several times in the day! Would definitely recommend to anyone for a professional expert wedding photography service. Thanks again David.

We have used David for corporate fashion photo shoots in his studio, I would highly recommend him for his attention to detail and his honest, reliable service.

I am so happy we chose David for our wedding photography. He was so lovely to deal with from start to finish. He was very professional and very helpful throughtout the whole process. We were delighted with the finished product, a lovely mix of wonderful moments captured so well throughout the day.

We would both highly recommend David. We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding photos. David listened to our hopes for the day and he succeeded in capturing all the special moments in beautiful images that we will treasure forever. He is extremely professional, having researched the venue before the day, he is so easy to work with and friendly and made everyone feel special. Thank you so much!!

We would highly recommend David for wedding photography. He was very reliable , friendly and helpful. We are very happy with the quality of our photos. We couldn't have asked for a better service. Thank you so much David.

We had said from the time we start looking for photographers that this was the one thing that had to be 100 % right. When we met David first we knew within a few minutes that he was our guy. David did what no other photographer had done, he took the time (2 hours if i am correct) to take us through what every aspect of our day would consist of photography wise. There was no argument this man knew what he was doing & when he showed us a few snaps from previous weddings he proved not only could he talk the talk but he could walk the walk too! On the day he was amazing! He is a King behind that camera and he made it all so so easy with great craic along the way. We had said from day one to David that we were a giddy couple up for a laugh and a bit of fun and that we wern't really into the whole formal thing and that we wanted our pictures to show this. Not a problem! Pics are just that! There is one picture of myself talking to my 2 year old son and i wasn't even aware David was snapping us. The picture is so precious and i will have that precious memory forever. Thank you so much David for everything, nothing was ever too much. If we didn't get anything else 100% on our day one thing is for sure we got the perfect photographer. We look forward to working with you in the future. Ali & Rory

David was amazing from start to finish. He made us feel so at ease from first meeting him. The photos he took of our wedding day were better than what we could have imagined. He captured so much. We will cherish our photos forever.

We married in August and we are so delighted we chose David as our photographer. From the moment we met David, he was so professional and helpful with every aspect of our wedding. We could see from his shots that he had a fantastic eye for capturing the right photographs and this was portrayed on the day. David took some amazing photos throughout our day, some of which I never saw him taking, creating beautiful, natural shots of us and our guests, which is exactly what I wanted. He was so relaxed on the day and, therefore, we all relaxed in his company and this is reflected in our stunning wedding photos. David stayed so late into the night and really went above and beyond to capture everything on the day. We couldn't recommend David highly enough, thanks again David.

I cannot reccomend this man enough!!! We had a surprise wedding on the day of our sons christening this summer and even though we only enlisted Davids help 6 weeks before, he was everything and more than we could ever have hoped. So natural, you wouldn't even know he's there most of the time!! The pictures he came back with absolutely blew us away. So talented. We would highly reccomend him without a seconds hesitation. Do yourself a favour..... hire David!!!

We were married in June and booked David to be our photographer on a recommendation. He did not disappoint. I wanted the day to be very relaxed and in the early planning stages I wasn't even going to hire a photographer (I hate my photo being taken). David actually made the day more relaxing - He was discrete but I was so happy that he was there to capture all the little special moments. His eye for detail is great and he was brilliant at capturing the atmosphere of the day. He even managed to get some fab pictures of our two children and they never stay still long enough for their photos to be taken! I would recommend David in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a reliable, talented photographer.
Ailish and Kevin. June 2017

David was fantastic throughout our entire wedding process. He was so calm and made everyone involved feel so comfortable. The photographs he took were amazing and captured our day perfectly. I highly recommend him to any wedding couple, we could not have asked for better, his service was fantastic. Thank you for everything David.
Lisa & Peter

David was suggested to us by a friend and immediately we felt we had made the right choice. We were looking for a professional who knew how to get all the photos to record our wedding without being the centre of attention. David did this perfectly, the quality of photos was very high with a good variety of guests, grounds, posed photos and natural photos. There were numerous photos produced that I do not remember seeing David at all for, which was the main characteristic I wanted from our photographer.
David listened to us at every turn and ensured that we got all that we wanted. We were at ease throughout the day with him as his manner was exceptional.
I can't recommend David enough for your photographs.

David took our vision of natural laughter and happiness and captured it on camera we live our shots and couldn't recommend him enough thank you so much for everything.

I don't even know where to start when it comes to thanking David. From the moment we met him at a wedding fair, to reviewing our pictures after the big day he has been amazing. He was professional throughout and all our guests commented at how he really got involved in our day, taking amazing pictures throughout it all, some of which I hadn't even noticed he was taking, creating some really beautiful natural pictures. He had an amazing way of helping us to relax and a fantastic eye for the right shots. He stayed so late in to the night and went above and beyond for us. I would and have recommended him to friends, his work is fab and he caught every moment of our fantastic day.

David, I just wanted to thank you for a truly professional service. Our wedding day was made that much better by knowing someone was capturing all the great moments from our special day.The sneak peeks are fabulous and we look forward to seeing the rest. Thanks for everything, Kind Regards,Jean & Mubarak

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the hardest tasks when planning our wedding and I am delighted to say that we couldn't have been happier with our choice. David was fantastic! When we first met him, he offered such great guidance and had so many ideas based on what he knows works best on the day but was also always willing to listen to what we wanted and strived to give us what we had in our minds for the photos. On meeting David for a second time a few weeks before the wedding we were so impressed with the time he spent asking about family members, those who were part of the wedding party and those who we wanted to make sure we got specific photos with; David payed such close attention to this which meant his approach on the day was so personal. David was extremely professional but his personality brought a warmth and friendliness to the day. So many of our guests commented on how friendly he was.We are delighted that David was a part of our day and are thrilled with the photos, he captured each stage of the day so well. Myself, my husband and our family highly recommend him. Thanks again David!

We got married in June this year and David was our photographer. From start to finish our experience with David was outstanding, not only is he a gentleman but he is highly professional in very aspect of his work. From time keeping to his kindly mannerism we could not fault David. He made our day very relaxed and fun throughout all the photographs. When looking at all the photos he had take I was amazed that he caught every special moment of our day on camera and even though the Irish summer didn't hold out for us David still made the most of the little dry weather we got. We can not thank and recommend him enough. Thank you David

We arranged the wedding at very short notice due to an illness in the family. Despite this David was fantastic. He was discreet during the ceremony and the quality of the pictures was just fabulous. My sister (the bride) does not like to be photographed but David's manor put her at ease and made the whole thing a great experience for us all.

We booked David a year in advance of our wedding and from day one after meeting him in his studio he was excellent, we knew we were in good hands. On the day he made everyone feel at ease, he really listened to us and ensured he was giving us what we wanted. We had David booked up until our first dance and he ended up staying long after capturing all our guests dancing and enjoying themselves! We have had a viewing session of all our photos and are so impressed, choosing our pictures for the album was so hard. ( I would have all of them in if I could!) I would definitely recommend David to anyone looking to book a wedding photographer. I couldn't fault a thing!

We booked David at short notice on the recommendation of a friend and we were delighted with him.
He went way above the call of duty to accommodate our meetings and was very flexible to my constantly evolving 'plan'!
The photos that we got captured the relaxed mood of our day perfectly and he had such a lovely manner with the bridal party and all our guests.
We would highly recommend him and are so grateful he captured the essence of our special day. What a pro.

We can't recommend David enough. He is so nice and not in your face. We absolutely love my photographs I am so happy with the end result. He stayed well into the night and captured everything. Thanks David :-)

What can i say. From the very beginning David was a true gentleman and professional. From our first meeting David knew exactly what we were looking for. He understood that we did not want nor need many staged photos and captured the very essence of who we are as a family, couple. David spent the day with us until late at night capturing the fun and magic behind our day and made our guest enjoy the experience. he captured so many special memories, ones that both myself and Barry will cherish forever.
Thank you David for being a huge part of our wedding and would highly recommend you to our friends and family

Lovely man very quiet and was in the background all day.Very very patient with us picking out our photos for the album.Highly recommend to any couple.Absolute gentleman.

David, we wanted to thank you so much for a great job you did on capturing so many special memories from our wedding day.
We really love our wedding album
Your professionalism, efficiency, along with the friendly and reliable service you offer made you a pleasure to deal with.
We had a great day and this really shows in all our photos. We are very happy to recommend you
Thank you once again.

Hi David myself and Sean would like to thank you so much for doing the photography at our wedding last month, you we're such a pleasure to work with and captured our day beautifully. And such a quick turnaround that I am able to have all my pictures already so soon. Chat to you soon Thanks again

In the fotos David took on the occasion of our sons civil mariage we find the easy, relaxed atmosphere and the joy of that day explicitly reflected throughout and the toghetherness of the young couple captured dreamlike, especially in the images taken in Cafe en Seine. We highly appreciate Davids friendly and reliable service. Thank You very much for preserving the memories of that special day in beautiful pictures.

Liam and I would like to thank you again for such a brilliant job.We have been absolutely delighted with his exceptional personal and professional approach from the very first time we met at a wedding fair. Unlike all the other photographers we had met he was interested in what we wanted and had to say rather than trying to sell an album to us. He certainly added to the success of our wedding day. His personal and down to earth attitude is exactly what you need on your wedding day. He was very easy to deal with and was also great value.We would both could not highly recommend him enough.

Mike and I want to thank David for all the hard work he put in helping us organise our big day. After a potential disastrous discovery on our wedding morning he even supplied my dad with cufflinks! He constantly surprised us with his jokes on the day whilst snapping away which led to great natural photos as I am not a big fan of posing and wanted him to capture us during the natural flow of things. David went above and beyond for us, often going out of his way to meet me and was always only a phonecall away offering tips.Very professional to work with but great humour also which was needed when my heels started killing me and I was getting grouchy! He was at the hotel til late even though he didnt need to be. Absolutely delighted especially with our album
after me changing my mind so many times about which photos to pick, David was so patient and the extra family
photos I got for great value! Highly recommended!! Thanks again David :)

We had David as our photographer on our special day.
It went super, thanks to David. We meet David before our
wedding, and we were very pleased with his ideas, things we had not thought of ourselves. On the day, he was great,
he sent us hundreds of photos .it was so hard to pick , they were all great shots. When I got my album. I was very pleased with it .Thanks David

.

Niall and I would just like to thank you David for your wonderful work on our wedding day. From the moment you arrived to the house, your professionalism and subtlety was fantastic. You made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and as a result the photos you took were just naturally beautiful! Friends and family were also delighted with your work. Thanks again.

David, myself and Alan just wanted to thank you so much for all you did for us on our big day! From the moment you arrived at the house to the moment you left the venue, you worked so hard in capturing so many moments to help us relive our wonderful day! Family and friends have commented on how natural the photographs are and how hard you worked and myself and Alan absolutely loved them! We love how nothing was ever a problem and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to others in the future! We also look forward to having you snap more important moments in the future! Thanks again,

Myself and Phil would like to thank you David for capturing all our special moments on our amazing day. You were so professional and such a calming influence on such a hectic day! You worked above and beyond our expectations. We are very impressed with our wedding photos and will highly recommend you to other couples. Thanks again,
