Description

My name is Dena and I am a documentary wedding photographer.

I'm a wedding photographer based in Dublin but travel all over Ireland to shoot weddings and elopements. I adopt a very documentary approach to my photography and absolutely love to capture those magical moments that happen throughout the day. Your portrait sessions will be short and sweet but very creative, all the while feeling comfortable and undirected. As much as your photography is important to me, so is customer service. From the minute you get in touch with me, I make it my goal to have an overall enjoyable, professional and relaxed experience.

I love to get to know my couples and feel that we really have a great relationship before the wedding has even started. This is important for my wedding photography as I believe we are much more natural around each other and that you will forget I am even there.

You can tailor your package at an hourly rate of 200 if you wish to only have a small amount of your day covered.

If you wish me to stay longer on the above package the same cost applies.

We hired Dena to do our wedding photography back in June 2016. I can honestly say that we are so grateful that we have such amazing photographs to remind us of what a great day it was. We are delighted to have found such a great photographer, who was so easy to work with, and was so accommodating with regard to our requests.
Dena's shots really captured the essence of our wedding, the laughter, smiles, the dancing and the craic! They were EXACTLY what we wanted! No stuffy shots with unnatural posing and forced smiles. And we barely noticed the camera snapping us.
A lovely touch was our Engagement Shoot, which Dena offered as part of her very reasonably priced wedding package. It allowed us get a taste of what it was like to be in front of the camera, and to get a flavour of Dena's creativity and style.
Her cool, calm and collected personality allowed us to feel confident that Dena knew exactly what she was doing and wow did she deliver! From our first meeting to our last, Dena was such a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering booking a photographer for their wedding! Thank you Dena!!

I could not recommend Dena as a wedding photographer more. We found her profile online and although we had no prior knowledge of her work we could not have been happier with how things worked out! Dena was amazing to deal with from start to finish and of all the wedding vendors we engaged with we were most impressed by the professional, yet personal, service Dena provided. Dena made sure we were all on the same page regarding the style and types of photographs we wanted and helped us pull together a schedule for the day to ensure everything ran seamlessly and no shot was missed. Dena's non-intrusive, documentary style really suited what we were after. Guests commented that they barely saw Dena on the day and yet it feels like not a moment was missed in the fabulous images she captured. Dena was incredibly efficient and helpful post wedding and we are delighted with our final pictures and album. We have already recommended her to family and friends!

Dena is an incredibly talented photographer. From the first time we met Dena while looking for a wedding photographer we knew she was the photographer for us. Having seen her work online we both loved her style of photography. She was such a professional and is just such a lovely person. The day of our wedding it rained heavily all day until 6pm but we were both on such a high we didn’t let it get us down and still opted to have our photos taken outside and we were so glad we did!! We were on our honeymoon when the photographs came through from Dena, we were absolutely delighted with them. We spent hours and hours looking at them and loved each photograph more than the last. Dena did a fantastic job of capturing the mood of the day and all the little things you can miss on the day as the bride and groom. Dena was such a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her.

Aisling and Paul

When we first saw Dena’s portfolio we were both struck by the naturalness and warm emotions that she captures in her photography and immediately decided that she was the photographer for our wedding. When we met in our local coffee shop to discuss the packages on offer Dena made everything simple. The Engagement Shoot was a great way to break the ice, especially if the concept of a camera pointed at you is a bit daunting like it is for us – we brought the dog, we had a laugh, and have some wonderful family photos. The day of the wedding was a whirl wind of excitement, but the photos Dena captured are timeless memories of precious moments. Dena is passionate about her photography and what she does, and it comes to light not just in her brilliant photos, but also in her professionalism, organisation, calmness and brilliant attitude – she enjoys her work and is a joy to work with – highly recommended!

hi Dena, I just wanted to say a massive thanks for being part of our big day on 29/09/2018. it was a pleasure dealing with you from the day we booked you right up to the wedding day itself. Everyone at the wedding commented on how professional but also discreet you were! You have such a friendly warm personality and your photos from our engagement shoot were amazing so I knew I had absolutely nothing to worry about on the wedding day. You were so calm the morning of the wedding and so helpful!! To anyone considering booking Dena......do it you won't be disappointed!!

Dena is amazing! She is a very talented photographer who sees her work as a form of art and it really shows. Dena knows exactly how to work every shot in terms of lighting, what the subject is doing and how best to capture the mood and atmosphere around them. She is altogether wonderful and anyone who hires her is lucky to do so!
