Your photographer is one of the most important bookings for your wedding day - they are so involved, you rely heavily on them for guidance and organisation, they are with you for the whole day basically... and we couldn't have been happier to have Gary as our photographer for our day!

I first met Gary after being part of a bridal party he was the photographer for, and once we started planning for our own wedding, I looked no further than Gary - he had made that good of an impression.

Gary made us all feel so comfortable from getting ready in the morning, to our bridal party shots, but really what I most appreciated was the solid guidance he gave us throughout the day in general - kept us on schedule, got all the shots we wanted... and had so much fun in the process!

Cannot wait to see our pictures from the day as I know he always has amazing work. If you are considering Gary for your wedding day, it will be the best decision you make!
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Thank you so much Ciara & Marc for your amazing review. I am so happy that you are happy with how the day went. I am currently going through all the photographs and I am thrilled with the images. I will have them ready for you in time for your return from your honeymoon. Have a great time.

A long time before I met my husband to be I knew Gary would be my photographer! I was a huge fan of Gary's work for many years and I would have changed the date of my wedding if he wasn't free on our date. No stone was left unturned on the day - he is like the dream photographer and your fairy godmother all in one. Our photos are amazing - we are in awe at how our magical day was captured! Thanks Gary ;-)

Gary made our day extra special. He became our friend which made us feel so comfortable. He made us laugh when we were nervous and he made people who wouldn't usually be into photos comfortable. He is so funny and he is the most prepared person ever. He has a little bag of tricks, comb, hairclips etc. He is extremely professional but at the same time his personality is just friendly and funny that you forget the stress. If Gary is available on your date i would advise you to book his service. It's one person you can depend on.
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Thank you so much Lisa & Alan. I loved every second of your big day. I had such a laugh, and was so tempted to hit the dance floor with you guys after I finished. I actually felt I was with my buddies after only 5 minutes. You know where I am if you ever need anything. Hopefully we will meet up again at another wedding soon.

We can't recommend Gary enough from the moment he got to the house in the morning he was absolutely fantastic!!! He made me feel so relaxed and couldn't do enough for me and my bridal party the morning of the wedding!! He gave us tips for photos throughout the day and after the church was over we had so much fun taking photos with the full bridal party at the local beach! Gary had us all in stitches we could have stayed taking photos all day, there was no pressure and we genuinely didn't stop laughing!!! Gary was so professional throughout the day and made everyone feel at ease!! We are so thankful that Gary was recommended to us it took so much stress out of the day! Highly recommend!!!

When we first met Gary we knew instantly we wanted him to be our photographer. We had both loved his work but wanted to meet him in person to make sure we were comfortable in his company as we are both camera shy and wanted someone that made us both feel at ease. There was no concerns he was a pleasure to meet and showed us some of his work, gave us an outline of how the day would run and had us both in stitches. What I personally loved was the tips he shared which would ensure a great day for us, family members and all our guests. We did an engagement shoot with him three weeks before the wedding and it was the best thing we did. We both got to know him better, got comfortable in front of the camera and have amazing pictures of us both that we will have forever. We had one main one he had printed for us for guests to sign on the day and I printed some others and had them in the house for the morning of the wedding.
On the day itself Gary arrived and had his lovely helper Abigail with him. He asked me where a few things were and disappeared to take some pictures I didn't even know he took. While I was getting ready he was snapping away without me knowing. There was difficulty closing the buttons on my dress and when I asked him to help he said as long as you are comfortable it's no trouble I do this all the time!! He made sure I was out the door on time and organised Darren and all the guests to be in the church for when I arrived. We had four page boys all under the age of four and he had lollipops to bribe them into the photos! He even had hairspray to fix my hair and carried my powder and lipstick for the day. The bridal party fell in love with him and his humour as he just makes everything so relaxing and had us all in fits of laughter. He also kindly took photos of some guests that asked him specifically and they really appreciated him doing so. He didn't delay us taking pictures, when we finished greeting the guests at the door of the church he had all the family members lined up ready for pictures. When we got to the venue he whisked us all off straight away for photos and twenty minutes later we were back with our guests and able to enjoy ourselves.
Gary really is the best there is, he is a perfectionist and goes above and beyond any photographer I have seen in action. I had two photos I wanted him to take and besides that left the rest to him. Our photographs are amazing I love them and watch the slideshow he created for us over and over again. I have had crowds around me at work wanting to look at them and everyone has told me that they honestly have never seen wedding photos like them. He really knows how to work the camera and work with any space. We got our photos printed and on a USB in an engraved box, he really thinks of everything and has the little details to perfection.
A photographer is a key person on your special day, it's the one person you both spend a lot of the day with so it's important you are comfortable in their company. We both can't recommend Gary enough, he will make you both at ease, make sure you really do get to enjoy your special day while capturing all those special moments and most importantly you will have the most amazing photographs.
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Oh wow. Now that is a review. I had to put the kettle on before I sat down to read this one.
What can I say only the pleasure was all mine.
When I first met you both I instantly knew you were both camera shy, but the good thing was you were not shy when there was no camera around, so I knew it was going to be a very easy day. I will be forever grateful for how you looked after Abigail, and asked for a photo with her. She has printed it and put it on her memory board.
The entire day was fantastic. I felt like I was hanging out with friends from the second I arrived.
Thank you for making me part of your big day. I loved every second of it.

From the minute we met to discuss the wedding until we received our photo box with the memory stick, it was an absolute pleasure dealing with Gary. He's an all round nice guy and an INCREDIBLE photographer. On the day of the wedding he was like a cross between Mary Poppins & McGyver! He had everything in his photographers bag (hair spray, clips, pins etc) and he made sure that every single person getting in for a photo looked their best! And this was all done in a humorous way and we've had so many guests comment on ?the photographer? - how great he was and such a funny guy! The biggest decision now will be deciding on what photos to put in the album!
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Ah my dynamic duo. Thank you Damien & Keith for your review. It goes with out saying that I enjoyed your wedding more than most weddings I have been a guest at.

Booking Gary and Leon was definitely the best decision we could have made for our wedding photography! Gary met us in advance and went through details & advice, and on the day itself Gary and Leon were just amazing - fun and laid back so everyone felt comfortable with them (and plenty of giggles!), but so professional. They got the most wonderful photos - from the "formal" ones with family and friends to the hilarious and moving "candid" ones, we got a huge spectrum of images from the day that we will cherish. Gary has such a great eye for what works and what doesn't. And he even saved my veil when it started to fly away outside the Cathedral, LOL!! Great guy, fantastic service, and beautiful keepsakes. You can't go wrong! Thanks again Gary ~Roisin and Nicky
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Hi Roisin & Nicky. When you get to photograph a Rose of Tralee winner, its a great honour. But when there is a TV crew at the wedding to, it can be a little nerve racking! You guys are on of the nicest couples I have ever met, and after 2 minutes with you both it felt like we had been mates for years. Thank you so much for an incredible wedding experience.

When you get engaged and starting looking for a photographer it can seem overwhelming. Every photographer wedding website looks amazing. When we meet with Gary he was genuinely very helpful, he helped us focus on what it was that we as a couple wanted from a photographer with no expectation of a booking. We made a decision to book Gary as we wanted spontaneous pictures of people and the action during the day, as well as a few slightly more posed pictures that we could frame. It was also important to us to have the photos without any watermarks and that we would be asked before they featured online.
The best way I can describe Gary is like the bridesmaid you could only dream about having. Gary has a very calming presence, he is organised and pre-empts any situation and has a constructive solution.
Gary captured the key moments of our wedding day in an unobtrusive way. After the ceremony people commented on how subtle he was in the church. He put the bridal party, family and friends at ease taking very relaxed yet exceptional photos. He provided guidance with posing only when required.
With Gary as your wedding photographer you will end up with exceptional quality photos, that are edited professionally and that capture the emotion and sentiment of your wedding day. We would highly recommend Gary.

From the moment Gary arrived at my house the day of the wedding he lifted the day. He was so professional and friendly and everyone thought he was brilliant. He has the most amazing bag of tricks with him that a few of us have discussed how we could get our husbands one!
By far the best decision we made for our wedding booking Gary to do the photographs for the day. The photos we do and will look at for years to come as they are brilliant. I would highly recommend him to any bride to be!
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Thank you Claire for your kind words. I loved your wedding from start to finish. When it comes to the bag of tricks, it is for brides only, and I go back to being a regular guy after weddings! Some people think I fix my wifes hair everywhere I go!! ; )
I am delighted you are happy with your photos, and I hope they bring back great memories every time you view them.

After picking our date and booking the church, Gary was next on the list! I had never met Gary but had seen his work and loved it. On the day he was like an extra bridesmaid and groomsman rolled into one! He tied bracelets, helped tie wedding dress and even fixed false nails with his bag of tricks! If I did not have photos to look at, I would have doubted Gary was even in the church as he was never in our faces with the camera and I dont even remember seeing him taking photos. The photos he took of the bridal party are amazing and he had everyone giggling and relaxed. Everybody still comments on our photographs and I recommend Gary to anyone who tells me they are getting married. Gary was an absolute gentleman and even had our stubborn flower girl smiling!!!I love looking at new photos Gary puts on Facebook and his website, his photographs really do speak for themselves
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Thank you so much Mary. I still laugh about the photos on the beach, and the great fun we had with you all. And remember there is no such thing as a stubborn flower girl, there is just flower girls that have had sugar yet!! Thank you again, and you know where I am if you need anything at all.

I could not recommend Gary highly enough.Before the wedding communication is almost instant with any questions or requests.On the day of the wedding Gary is unobtrusive and excellent.You don't notice him there,but somehow when you get your pictures there are all these amazing moments and memories captured.Pictures are not overly posed but naturally beautiful.Gary has a great way with the guests too and can charm the camera shy/grumpy grannies/chatting aunties etc to smile.If you want a complete professional who will add to your day,a stress free photographer who I can gurantee will get the most amazing pictures chose Gary.

Gary was brilliant on my wedding day. As well as taking fabulous photos in a chaotic household that morning, he even helped feed and burp the babies. He had everything we needed that we didn't think of from hair spray, hair clip to double sided sticky tape. He is truly MacGyver.

Could not recommend Gary more. My now wife is extremely shy about getting her picture taken but we were both at total ease with Gary. His attention to detail is second to none which we now have forever in our album! A really nice guy and outstanding photographer *****

Gary is quite simply the best photographer in Ireland. Unobtrusive, creative and funny, Gary gave us precious memories of our special day that we can now enjoy forever. We enjoyed Gary's sense of humour, it got everyone laughing which added to the pictures. Gary will take any setting or situation and create fantastic photo's. The photographs are one of the most important aspects of your wedding as they stay with you for life, with Gary Barrett you will not be disappointed.

I booked Gary to photograph our wedding in July 2012 based on a recommendation and am so delighted I did. From the moment we met, he was so professional and easy to deal with, always responding to any emails I sent. We have recently received our photos and are totally blown away that Gary was able to capture our day so perfectly. The pictures really convey the emotion of the day and the slideshow is just like having another dvd to look back on, all set to music! I found Gary to be very competetively priced too so all I can say is...if your lucky enough that he's available on your day...book him!
Response from Gary Barrett Photography
Thank you so much Tracy & Michael. It was a pleasure from start to finish working with you both, and I am so happy you are happy with how everything went.
Please let me know fi you ever need anything.
