Wedding Photographer

Choosing the right wedding photographer was so important to us. We wanted to work with someone who made us feel comfortable and had a talent for photography. Shea is such a natural behind the camera and as a result of this, he captures special moments in the most perfect of ways! We are so happy to have been able to work alongside Shea from the beginning of our wedding journey to collecting our amazing album. Getting to know Shea and how he works enabled us to develop 100% trust in him which is so important for any Wedding Day. His attention to detail is outstanding. When you book Shea, you can be assured that he will do anything to overcome any challenges that may come your way. When COVID struck after we had booked Shea and planned our wedding for over a year, we had so much uncertainty and Shea remained patient, helpful, understanding and professional through it all. He almost became our Wedding Planner at one point! Shea was absolutely amazing in every way possible! He genuinely cares about his customers and will happily go the extra mile to ensure they are happy! We are delighted to have such a beautiful Wedding Album and will never be able to thank Shea enough for everything.

Outstanding wedding photographer

Shea is such a kind, caring man. From day one, Shea was so unbelievably professional and friendly with myself and Brian. Shea was recommended to us for his great work. We met up with Shea (before Covid) and went through his work styles with him, what we loved and what we hoped for. He was so accommodating. We booked Shea for our wedding which was August 22nd 2020, which we are so thankful that went ahead. Shea spent the upcoming weeks towards the wedding on phone calls and zoom meetings with us reassuring us that everything will be ok. On our wedding day, Shea was cool and calm!! He captured our day so beautifully, got every photo that we had originally asked for, was able to have the crack with our guests and got some amazing pictures behind the scene without us even realising he was taking them. For days and even weeks after our wedding, we had guests talk about how lovely our photographer was, and how professional he was at his job. We have just received the most outstanding wedding album just in time before the lockdown! We cannot believe the detail of this album. We are blown away.. Shea you went over and beyond for us on our wedding day, our pictures we will cherish forever, and we will always be thankful for you and your amazing work. 10/10 from us! Thank you so much, Love, Michaela and Brian Friel x

Fantastic photographer

Just back from seeing our Wedding photos and we’re in love with them all. Shea has been amazing from the moment we booked right through to the big day. He was so organised at every stage! We loved the images from our engagement shoot we weren’t surprised that we loved all the wedding images too. He even got my hubby to smile....#miracleworker. We can’t wait to choose our album photos and see them in print although I don’t know how we’ll be able to leave ones out! I would without a doubt recommend Shea to everyone, he’s such a gentleman and an amazing photographer!! X

Thanks so much again Shea

We can’t thank Shea enough for all his hard work, from the engagement shoot to our wedding day. We felt very at ease with him from the start(both of us aren’t big fans of getting our picture taken!). Shea captured lots of pictures on our day and we had our usb pen with every picture exactly 4 weeks after the wedding. Everyone who attended the wedding loved the engagement photo and there were able to leave messages on the border of the picture. It takes pride of place in our home. Can’t wait to get our album! Thanks so much again Shea!

5 stars in't enough for Shea

5 stars isn't enough for Shea and his work! We booked Shea for our wedding June 2nd 2017 and aside from his photos being amazing and him making us feel so at ease throughout the whole process, from the very beginning he was the most courteous and most organised person we have dealt with! I don't really like my photos being taken so we were very nervous doing the engagement shoot, but Shea's calming nature really put us at ease and we ended up actually, really enjoying it! Photos were top class and Shea used them to make a guest book for the wedding - everyone loved it and it's something we'll cherish forever. He kept the jokes coming all day, on the wedding day and had us laughing from start to finish - He is so dedicated to his work and we couldn't recommend him enough!! Can't wait to see our album :) We just need to sift through all the gorgeous photos first! Can't wait to work with you again Shea!

Amazing

AMAZING! We had booked Shea even before the chapel or hotel because we loved his work and his personality so much! Shea worked tirelessly throughout the day to capture as much as he could and we couldn't be happier with the end results. Thank you so much Shea for being such an important part of the biggest day of our lives!
