At Kathryn O’Shea Photography, I know that you want to have wedding photographs that you can look back on, and think, WOW, we looked stunning on our wedding day.  In order to do that, you need a professional photography experience that captures your love on camera. The problem is there are so many photographers out there which makes you feel nervous about whether you’re choosing the best one for your big day. I believe every couple deserves a reliable, trustworthy and professional photography experience on the most magical day of your lives.

I understand that you want to feel confident about your choice of photographer, which is why I have over the last 20 years, come up with all sorts of back up plans, so that no matter what crops up, be it the weather or something else, I’ve got you covered.  My couples say that I put them at ease, they have fun and that they love their photos.

Here’s how I do it:

1. Get in contact me with your wedding date.

2. Collaborate to capture your love on camera

3. Enjoy your magical moments forever

So, contact me with your wedding date and you can stop stressing about who will capture those special moments on your big day and instead confidently check one more thing off that long wedding to-do list.

Five stars. Book Kathryn O'Shea Photography now!

We were absolutely delighted to have chosen Kathryn to capture our big day. We booked her full day package, from preps in the morning to after first dance. Her photography style (check out her website for samples), friendly personality and reasonably priced package are what sold it for us. Organising our wedding from abroad was a challenge but throughout the process, Kathryn's responsiveness via email and a zoom call introduction before booking together with a preparatory in-person meeting including scouting of the venue a few days before the big day made things simple.

On the day itself, she was so easy to be around, energetic and organised with all the guests which really helped capture both candid shots and round people up for group shots! She definitely did more than just photography and was so helpful during the day - including coordinating our first look before the ceremony, fixing cushions and adjusting button holes/collars as well as chatting to the guests.

We've just received a sneak peek of some photos, which are gorgeous, and are so excited to see the full set in a few weeks time. Thanks Kathryn!!

It was a great day Fionnuala. The sun shone for ye. It shows in the photos, especially at the beginning of Summer when people get that first glimpse of Summer. Everyone is happy.

We were blown away by Kathryn and her fantastic photography on our wedding day. Kathryn was able to capture so many intimate moments, fantastic formal portraits and breathtaking scenery shots, she really is so talented. Beyond that Kathryn made the day, she was so easy to get on with and we had such a laugh, honestly we will treasure the day forever. We have already recommended Kathryn to a few friends! We look forward to the photoshoots we are sure to have together with Kathryn into the future.

We highly recommend Kathryn. She is a seasoned pro with decades of experience (I later found out also did the wedding photography for my hairstylist). The husband and I both hate having our picture taken, and she made us feel at ease. To be honest, we did not enjoy posing and still do not, but Kathryn made the experience as painless as possible, and now we have absolutely gorgeous pictures to last a lifetime, including a group shot of all 120+ guests! She was super responsive, and got the pictures over to us in record time. If you are considering booking Kathryn, do not hesitate.
Response from Kathryn O'Shea Photography
Thank you Fern. It's important to get the right match when choosing your wedding suppliers. Couples are going to spend a lot of time with their wedding photographer on the best day of their lives, it's important to get it right. Thank you for choosing me. We worked together in not spending too much time on the wedding photos and yet get the best possible photos from that time. And it all worked.

Kathryn did fantastic work at our wedding. Our photos look amazing. We?ve put loads up in our house. We especially love our photos captured in the trees and leaves in Springfort between the ceremony and reception. She managed to capture so much of the day. It was really nice to be able to look back at the day start to finish.
Response from Kathryn O'Shea Photography
What a beautiful day we had Niamh & Kenneth from start to finish. Wishing ye all the best in your future lives together.

Fantastic day spent with Kathryn at our special day . We had lots of fun and even though it was heavy raining we all had smiles and fun while doing photos outside. Kathryn is a lovely fun person and our photos are beautiful! She made us feel relaxed and we would highly recommend her to anyone

When we started planning our wedding, it was hard to find alternatives to one-size-fits-all photography services, but Kathryn had flexible options that made sense for our very small and intimate wedding. Three years and multiple reschedules later, we are delighted we chose Kathryn! We are not the best at following directions, but she managed to get some lovely shots. We have a well-balanced combination of formal and spontaneous pictures, but even the "formal" ones still feel relaxed and natural. Kathryn was very patient and accommodating about the ever-changing date and location, and when we finally got there, she captured the day very thoroughly.
Response from Kathryn O'Shea Photography
Thank you very much Estefanía & John. You were an easy couple to photograph. We had such a beautiful day.

Kathryn was a dream to work with. From the moment we first spoke, we loved her energy. She went above and beyond to capture beautiful, intimate moments of our wedding day, and she did all of this with a great sense of fun and playfulness. She was super professional and efficient and we are so grateful to her.

Kathryn was fantastic for our summer wedding. Although we didn?t get the weather Kathryn was able to use her creativity and thoughtfulness to capture amazing shots throughout the day. Her presence in the morning of the wedding really helped me with my nerves as a bride also! She is so warm and lovely. Highly recommend

Kathryn was absolutely brilliant and we couldn?t be happier with the photographs of our day. Kathryn was so great to deal with and was excellent on the day ensuring we got all our family?s pictures organised and kept to a prompt schedule so we didn?t miss out on any of our own wedding day. What made Kathryn extra special was her super relaxed and fun attitude throughout the day which allowed her to capture some amazing once off moments that we will cherish forever.

We are so delighted that we chose Kathryn as our photographer for our big day. Kathryn made us feel very much at ease on the day. She was fun, friendly and ensured that everything ran smoothly. She shot some beautiful moments at our wedding and of those who shared our special day with us. I also asked Kathryn to put together our wedding album which we are over the moon with! What a fantastic keepsake to have, the album was put together beautifully capturing so many special memories. We are very grateful to Kathryn for her exceptional work which we will treasure forever.

Choosing Kathryn as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. As we were planning an intimate wedding with close family and friends, we wanted to make sure we really connected with our photographer and that it was someone we'd all enjoy spending the day with. From our first meeting with Kathryn we got along really well - we loved how excited she was to hear our ideas and how she really tried to get to know us as a couple. On the day, she put us right at ease and we had such fun with her. Kathryn's bubbly exuberance and kind consideration meant that she fitted right in and her photos captured all our loved ones perfectly.
We can't stop looking at the beautiful photos - we'll treasure them forever. All the love, joy and emotion of the day were captured so perfectly.
Thank you Kathryn! You were fantastic!!

We could not have made a better choice in wedding photographers than we did in choosing Kathryn! We planned our Cork wedding from the U.S. so I was only able to meet Kathryn on video chat prior to the wedding day. But as soon as we began chatting I liked her immediately so she was the first and last photographer I spoke to. She is kind, professional, and fun and will be a great addition to the group you?ll have around you on your wedding day (and that really matters because your photographer will be with you all day). She can quickly get everyone?s attention and assemble a group to get the perfect shot. Our photos are just so gorgeous and perfectly capture the magic of the day of our wedding at Gougane Barra and reception at Great Southern Killarney. Do not hesitate, hire Kathryn!
