  • Rebecca & Cian

    Daven was brilliant and professional on our wedding day. He captured the day beautifully while making sure to respect my wishes of not too many posed photos. I barely noticed he was there during the day snapping away. The couple shots too I thought I would hate doing but he just left me and my husband to do our thing. The couple shoot was actually a highlight of my day. We all had a great laugh and it felt very much like it was just us two and Daven wasn’t even there. The photos were everything I hoped for. I now have the very hard job of picking only 100 for the album! Not easy when there are so many great ones to choose from! Thanks for everything Daven!!

  • Lorraine & Stephen

    We had Daven for our wedding day on 27th July 2024 in the Castlecourt Hotel Westport. Daven was great to work with, he made myself, Stephen and both our families feel relaxed and at ease for the whole day. No photograph was too much to ask for and he captured everything beautifully!!

    Daven really blended in on the day and there was no awkwardness in posing for photos etc., lots of candid pictures and gorgeous couple shots. Daven was easy to get in contact with and always quick with a reply, even to any silly question I had.

    Daven gave us a printed copy of some of the photographs during our meal which was an amazing gift to get and such a special touch. We received our digital album really quickly after the wedding, I think about a week after which was such a quick turn around and we were delighted with it.

    I would recommend Daven for your big day and I’d love to do it all again!

  • Ciara & Gilbert

    Daven was a pleasure to work with. As we planned our wedding from outside of Ireland, we were initially uncertain about how smoothly everything would go. However, Daven put us at ease with his professionalism. Despite the terrible weather on the day, we were amazed by how beautiful the photographs turned out. His turnaround time was impressively fast, and we were delighted to receive some printed pictures as a sneak preview on the night of the wedding. We both highly recommend Daven to anyone planning their wedding.

    Lawlors Hotel Naas

    Daven was the photographer at our wedding in April. We received our photos very quickly and we both love them. They capture all the amazing moments and memories of the wedding.

    Nothing was a problem for Daven he went to my husband prep location then my own to the church then the hotel. The full day was captured in images. When we picked the full day package we did not expect Daven to be with us even after the first dance.

    I would highly recommend Daven to anyone looking for a wedding photographer he is very professional and good to work with

    Thank you again Daven for all you did on our day

  • Jessica & Fionn

    Daven made our day so special from start to finish. By starting off the morning by coming to both bride and grooms houses, he caught some amazing photos and set the standard high for the day ahead. Daven worked so quickly and most of the day we completely forgot he was there! I cannot believe how quickly Daven got our photos back to us. We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend him for any occasions. Thank you so much for photographing our special day from start to finish!

  • Eimear & John

    Daven was amazing to work with for our recent wedding in July 2024. From our engagement shoot to our big day Daven worked with us and nothing was an issue . Daven captured every moment on our big day in a relaxed and enjoyable manner . A very special touch was receiving some prints of the special moments during the meal. The delivery of our photos was very quick also . We would highly recommend Daven.

  • Aoife & Patrick

    Daven was our wedding photographer on the 28th of June .He captured beautiful candid pictures which we loved.It was brilliant to capture the energy of the people during the day.We received our photos a week later on our honeymoon which we were delighted with.Thanks Daven.

  • Amanda & Francis

    We had Daven for our wedding on the 06 April 2024 in the Slieve Russell Hotel. Picking a photographer for your wedding is by far one of the hardest choices to make, but from looking at Daven's candid-style work and chatting to him before booking he made the choice so much easier.

    Daven was always quick to reply with any queries we had on the lead up-to the day. When Daven arrived the morning of the wedding there was no awkwardness, he got straight to work and got on so well with everybody which made the morning prep very relaxed.

    Daven captured some amazing photos throughout our day despite being graced with the presence of storm Kathleen 😂 There was lots of laughter and no awkward poses or anything which made being in front of a camera so much easier as both my husband and I hate photos. We booked the all day package with Daven and he was there from my morning prep to after the first dance, we had a lot going on from singing waitresses to fireworks and sparklers and he captured it all beautifully.

    On the night we received some prints of photos he took throughout the day which was a beautiful touch and something we and our guests loved 💕 we received our digital album extremely quick and can't fault a single one, they are beautiful and exactly what we wanted.

    We can't thank Daven enough and would highly recommend him to anybody.

  • Caoilfhionn & David

    Daven was fantastic to work with for our wedding. Everything flowed so seamlessly and he really paid attention to our preferences for less posed shots and more candid! He captured our day so well and caught such special moments without anyone even noticing. Could not recommend him enough.

  • Carrie & JJ

    Hotel Kilkenny

    We had Daven as our wedding photographer in November 2023.
    From our first meeting at our engagement shoot, right through to the delivery of our wedding photographs and album, Daven was a pleasure to work with.

    He always maintained a very relaxed demeanour, and made every stage of the photography approachable and enjoyable.
    We are delighted with the photography’s variety, quality and selection.
    We can’t recommend him enough

  • Shauna & Patrick

    Cabra Castle

    Daven was our photographer for our wedding in Cabra castle, Co Cavan. And what can I say, He was amazing. He made us all feel at ease and was actually making me and my wedding party laugh with his fun, easy going humor. We unfortunately had awful weather but that didn’t stop Daven working his magic. He came to us near the end of our day with 4 print photos that he had taken that day of during the day, A beautiful touch. I couldn’t recommend him enough. An incredible talent!

  • Alva & Clive

    Ballymagarvey Village

    Daven was absolutely amazing from start to finish. We were blown away by our wedding photos and can’t recommend him enough. We were both nervous about being in front of the camera and also didn’t want to spend too long away from our quests taking photos. Daven guided us through the day with fun and ease.

    We opted for the first look given his advice, it gave us some time alone to take it all in before the main event began and more time to spend with our guests after the ceremony. He really put us both at ease leaving us more relaxed to enjoy the remainder of the day. He blended into the background and captured so many beautiful candid moments.

    He even surprised us with some printed photo’s after our speech on the day. We received the photos so quickly after the wedding and everyone is blown away with the quality and amount of great photos we received. Daven is professional, calm, fun and very talented photographer. We can’t thank him enough and are so grateful for the beautiful memories we will have forever.

  • Miriam & Darragh

    Tulfarris Hotel

    Daven was amazing from start to finish. He captured moments so perfectly. I was blown away by our photos, they were exactly what we wanted and more. He is a rare talent and I would recommend him a billion times over.

  • Amie & David

    Langtons Hotel Kilkeny

    From the moment we found Daven’s website, we had a really good feeling that he would be the right photographer for us. His natural, candid-style photography captured our attention immediately. We had a pre-wedding shoot earlier in the year which was such a fun day - it gave us the opportunity to get to know Daven and also get used to being in front of the camera. Both of which paid off as by the time our wedding came around, seeing Daven again was almost like greeting an old friend. He blended in seamlessly during our ceremony and captured some beautiful moments of our family and friends. We both had a blast walking around Kilkenny with him for our couple’s shoot and somehow managed to avoid the rain! We also have to give him a special shout out for being so kind and patient during our group photos. The final portraits are beautiful and will be treasured by our guests for years to come. However, the highlight of the day has to be our first-look. We opted to have this instead of morning prep and it was the best decision we made. If there is one final compliment we can give to Daven, it’s that he perfectly captured the pure joy and emotion from those quiet moments and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

    Thank you Daven for everything and to anyone wondering if Daven would be the right fit for your wedding - book him, you won’t regret it. 10/10 & infinite stars.

  • Darragh & Sinead

    Virginia Park Lodge

    Daven was great throughout our wedding. He did a complimentary engagement shoot, that went brilliant and helped everything on the day go much smoother. He was easy to work with, happy to work around what we wanted and succeeded in getting great candid photos, with plenty to choose from

  • Alison & Michael

    Mill Park Hotel Donegal

    Daven is an absolute professional. From our very first call we knew he was the perfect fit for what we wanted for our wedding. We had an engagement shoot that slowed us to get to know him and he immediately made us feel at ease. The engagement pictures were fabulous so we couldn’t wait to see our wedding photos too.

    In the lead up and on the day of the wedding Daven guided us so perfectly, there when we needed him and also gently in the background capturing beautiful candid moments. We got our pictures back really quick and they are amazing. So many beautiful memories.We couldn’t recommend Daven enough.

  • Cliodhna & Jack

    Ballygarry Estate Tralee

    Daven took our engagement and wedding photos during the summer and he was a dream to deal with! The photos are amazing and exactly the kind of candid style we wanted. We hardly noticed Daven on the day and he was so easy going and followed our lead on everything. Couldn’t recommend Daven more to anyone getting married

  • Seanna & Jay

    Farnham Estate

    “Daven was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and captured the spirit and joy of our wedding perfectly. He really listened to what we were after, and his documentary style photos were just perfect. I am not that comfortable getting my picture taken and he really put us at ease throughout and we have so many photos that we didn't even know he was taking, which was exactly what we wanted. Our guests have adored them, with many saying they were the nicest wedding pictures they'd seen! I'd recommend him ten times over and made the memories of our day so special.

  • Siobhan & Andrew

    Daven was amazing to work with, he captured the day perfectly from the first picture taken. He was unobtrusive and the photos are amazing. Highly recommend if you’re in need of a photographer.

  • Emma & Tommy

    Shearwater Hotel

    We had Daven photograph our wedding in December 2023. From start to finish he was so easy to work with and very professional. He was very unintrusive and captured everything we wanted. We are so delighted with our phoographs they are amazing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their big day!

  • Miriam & Alan

    Daven was fantastic. He was so approachable, patient and kind. We got the most beautiful shots on the day. Daven was so thoughtful and relaxed in getting some very precious natural snaps of our three children.

  • Shauna & Jamie

    Four Seasons Hotel Carlingford

    We booked Daven after we were in the bridal party of another wedding where he was the photographer and we absolutely loved the photos. Daven has such a relaxed manner and he was great to have around on the day. He captured so many moments from the day that we are delighted to have photographs of. He has such a good eye for locations that will make a great photo and we are so pleased with how many amazing photos we have from the day. Can't thank Daven enough!

  • Katie & Oliver

    Cabra Castle

    “Daven was outstanding throughout our wedding day, in the lead up to and after. He really put us both at ease throughout, got the shots we wanted and we had a laugh with him along the way. Our photos are just fantastic capturing every single moment throughout our day and we have so many! It will be difficult to choose the ones for the album but we have all of them forever.

  • Sophie & Magnus

    Clonabreany House

    From start to finish Daven was so easy to work with, from our engagement photo shoot ahead of the wedding I knew we made the right choice! Daven was professional but super chill and didn’t make us feel uncomfortable, we don’t like posing or looking overly posed so Daven was the perfect fit for us with his style of photography.

    On the day of the wedding Daven blended in so well and the photos we received were better than I could have imagined, Daven kept the flow of the bridal & grooms party photos and directed us in a nice fun way.

    From the detail photos, family photos, couple photos and everything else I could not be more thankful that we chose Daven he captured our day perfectly and we will have these memories to cherish forever with the beautify captured moments , Daven also capture some great laughter and fun which I am so thankful for as it showed our personalities through his work.

    If you are looking for a photographer who knows what he is doing and doesn’t make you look like a statue Daven is your man!

    Thank you Daven!

  • Orla & Adrien

    We are extremely happy that we used Daven as our wedding photographer. On our wedding day he captured all our special moments. He was very professional. We could not be happier with the presentation of the photos online. We couldn’t wait to share the photos with everyone.

  • Sarah & Connor

    Bellinter House

    “Daven was incredible from start to finish, I couldn't recommend him more. We first met him at our engagement shoot and he was so easy to chat to and put us both at ease. We're not the biggest fans of photos so it was great that he was able to instruct us and give us a few hints and tips. Then on our wedding day he was fantastic. He knew exactly the right spots of the hotel (and he hadn't even been there before), he was so calming and so helpful throughout the day. Nothing was too big an issue for Daven and he captured all the right moments for us. We are so delighted with our photos”

  • Natasha & James

    Innishannon House Hotel

    “When we saw Daven’s work prior to booking, we knew he would be the right fit for what we wanted and once we had our first phone call with him we were 100% confident that he would be perfect to capture our day. We had a pre wedding shoot, which was fabulous and the photos made us so excited for how our Wedding Day photos would turn out.

    Daven was calm, patient and just an absolute joy to work with on the day. He put us both at ease, and we just laughed so much. We couldn’t believe the photos we got back. We certainly were not disappointed. Daven’s candid style captured exactly what our day was about…pure fun and laughter. Our guests are still raving about how nice he was. We honestly cannot recommend Daven enough and are so grateful for the beautiful memories we now have forever.

    “Just received our wedding photo book from Daven and it is beautiful. There are so many images in it we couldn’t believe it. We also have so many photos on our online gallery all of which are amazing quality and a lot we didn’t even realise Daven had captured. Very happy with our photos. Thanks Daven.

We organised our wedding from Australia and Daven was always easy to contact with swift replies. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done. Highly recommend Daven for your big day.

  • Nicola & David

    Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

    “We choose Daven for our wedding this April 2022 because we loved his style of photos and he did not disappoint..

    The shots throughout the day were all very candid which was exactly what we wanted.. Even for our couples shoot it felt very natural and the photos turned out beautiful..

    We had an engagement shoot with Daven a few months before the wedding, it really helped with getting used to taking shots as a couple before the big day and getting to met Daven was great as we felt like we knew him on our day. We were delighted with everything Daven done for us. Highly recommend.

  • Aislinn & Dolan

    Mountain View

    “Daven recently photographed our wedding and we can't recommend him enough. He is really easy going and blended in no problem even though the morning getting ready felt somewhat chaotic at times!. His style of photography is so candid, it captured us perfectly - it wasn't glossy or overly posed - it was just us and our family enjoying the perfect day. He has a great eye for unusual set ups and really captured our day in a way that felt really unique to us. We didn't want lots and lots of overly posed photos and even when we went for our couples photos with Daven we had a laugh with him and he made us feel really relaxed. (we wouldn't love having our photos taken but we had great fun!) I don't remember seeing Daven during the ceremony or the dinner, even though he got great shots, which is the sign of a really good wedding photographer. We got our photos back really quickly too, which really helped ease the post wedding blues!!”

  • Sarah & Gary

    “We can’t recommend Daven enough! He captured our day so perfectly. He was professional and good fun on the day which made us feel at ease as we normally don’t like getting our photo taken! He blended into the crowd really well and as a result got some amazing candid shots! The correspondence from Daven from initial booking to receiving our album could not be faulted. We absolutely adore our wedding album which was delivered in such high quality! Thank you so much again

  • Susan & Michael

    Langton’s Hotel Kilkenny

    “We recently got married and we’re lucky enough to have found Daven online to photo our big day. We were surprised and delighted to find out he offered a pre wedding shoot , this was brilliant as it gave us a chance to meet and get to know Daven before the wedding day. He also suggested some great locations close to us for the shoot and he was willing to travel quite a distance for it.. our minds were so at ease once we met him, he was so fun and easygoing but has a great eye to find the perfect photo background. When it came to the wedding day he was there before time and made everything so easy. He was everywhere and nowhere at the same time, he got all the photos but was never in the way. Our photos got to us quickly afterwards and are off the highest quality. We couldn’t recommend Daven enough, he’s the best.

    “This November, we had Daven capture our special day. His style of photography meant that all our guests were incredibly relaxed and the photo's that came afterwards were amazing. No forced smiles or awkward stares at the camera, just everyone smiling and enjoying themselves, which is exactly what we wanted. Daven was an absolute pleasure to work with and really helped our day to run smoothly. Any photo requests were met and his work is absolutely outstanding.

    We asked daven to look after all the photos of our special day and we are so happy we did as he has done a fantastic job. From the time we reached out to him he was extremely professional and informative, ensuring us that he would meet every request that we had. On the day of our wedding daven arrived nice and early and got straight to work he captured ever piece of the day and did not get in the way one bit. Upon receiving our pictures we were blown away they were amazing. We then received our photo album a few weeks later and once again we were blown away.

    “Daven was amazing to deal with from start to finish. We specifically wanted candid pics to really catch the essence of the day and that’s exactly what we got.

    “Daven was absolutely fantastic in the day of our wedding, he went over and above to make sure we got photos at both Bride and Grooms house for the morning of the wedding which really meant a lot to us.

    He was very easy going and this made us feel at ease too. He made everything so straightforward and made the process so efficient which allowed us to spend time with our family and friends.

    Daven got all of the photos we wanted, posed ones of just me and Ronan, loads of candid pictures of family and friends enjoying the day!

    The photos are amazing, they clearly represent the day and show that we were relaxed and enjoying ourselves while the photos were being taken. We loved every part of our day and are so happy we went with Daven for our photos, I really think he captured the day excellently.
