Kirsty McElroy Photography

We cannot recommend Kirsty highly enough! She is an absolutely incredible person and a pretty decent photographer too 😜 We came across Kirsty by way of an ad on instagram not long after we got engaged - Kirsty was posting SO many helpful tips on wedding planning, and being recently engaged this was exactly what we needed! Having then looked through her website and instagram and seen her work, we knew she was the one for us! From the moment we met Kirsty could not have been more helpful. She went truly above and beyond what could ever be expected of a wedding photographer. Our wedding was at the weekend and Kirsty was just the best. It truly was like spending the day with a best friend and I’m sad we don’t get to hang out again soon! The pictures we have from our engagement shoot and from the wedding so far (which, by the way, Kirsty had already sent a preview of on the night of the wedding!!!) are insane. Kirsty is such an incredibly talented photographer and the combination of this with her awesome personality makes her the perfect wedding photographer!! I’m running out of different ways to describe all of the incredible things about Kirsty, but I’ll end with this - if you need a wedding photographer, book Kirsty. It will be the best decision you make!!!

Kirsty was absolutely fantastic from start to end on our wedding day. When researching wedding photographers we came across Kirsty’s website. We loved how she showed her fun and bubbly personality and how she focused more on candid shots which is what we were looking for as my now husband, Mark, and I are camera shy and were worried about looking rigid and awkward in our wedding photos. From our first conversation with Kirsty, she made us feel relaxed and even had us laughing. Her car had broken down just before the phone call was scheduled but she still made time to video chat with us whilst waiting on a tow truck. Through our meetings with Kirsty’s her personality shone through and she provided comfort and reassurance, making us feel at ease with having her capture our day. We knew instantly we needed her to be part of our wedding! Kirsty even had us perform a couples shoot prior to the wedding at Chatelherault Country Park where we brought our dog Ellie. Kirsty was amazing at guiding us to have intimate, candid shots and some amazing pictures of our girl Ellie. This made us feel confident and excited for the wedding day. On the wedding day Kirsty was amazing, not only did she have a clear list of what group pictures we had wanted to capture but she organised the guests to make sure everyone was where they needed to be. Kirsty may as well have been part of the wedding party with how she organised everyone but she also was on hand to take Mark and I aside after the hustle and bustle to take some time aside and let it sink in that we had just gotten married! We feel like Kirsty’s handling of her car breakdown must have been a sign of how well she would manage any issues that may arise as on the day she was on hand to help out, including my mum falling after the ceremony and breaking her wrist. She helped co-ordinate the day and reschedule special moments to make sure that my mum had time to get to A&E and back (in a cast and sling) having only missed the dinner! Only a few days after the wedding Kirsty already sent Mark and I some teaser pictures which perfectly captured the day, including one of my mum and I with her in her sling! We received our full gallery the day we were flying out on our honeymoon Mark and I had spent our time reminiscing of our day; it was so emotional to see the love between Mark and I in the pictures but also the guests’ reactions and excitement as they enjoyed our special day. If you are looking for a wedding photographer to capture your special day look no further than Kirsty! She was the perfect wedding photographer and we were so lucky to have her be part of our wedding. Thank you again Kirsty!
