Most of the photography on your wedding day will be considered wedding photojournalism. Capturing the day as it unfolds with no interference by the photographer. I aim for a simple, classic look, that captures the emotions shared throughout the day. When working with the bride and groom, the wedding party and family formals, the emphasis shifts to more of an casual portrait approach. I give gentle direction and often naturally pose images as needed.

I’m from Mulranny, Co. Mayo and I now live in South Dublin. My time is split between both these places.

Absolutely, I travel all over Ireland photographing weddings throughout the country. I’ve also had the pleasure of photographing a many destination weddings across Europe and the USA!

I’ve worked in so many incredible venues around the country. In the unlikely event that I haven’t been to your venue I assure you that I will scout it out prior to your wedding, so that when the big day arrives I’ll know all the perfect spots for your photos, in any weather conditions. I will also familiarise myself with any restrictions, or if I need to apply for any permissions from public organisations.

Packages start at €2,300. All wedding packages are available upon request. Please fill out the Contact form on this site and I will send you all the information you need.

I require a €200 booking fee to secure the date for you. No date is secure until the booking fee has been received. Final balance is due on the morning of the wedding.

The sooner the better! 2024 is fully booked, as is 2025. Bookings for 2026 have reached 40%.

Until the booking fee has been paid all dates are open to anyone. In the past, couples have enquired and come back to me weeks later, only to find the date filled by another couple. No booking fee = date not secured.

Of course!! Many couple have never been in front of a professional photographer and might have their reservations. Therefore the engagement session is a great way for us to go out for an hour and have some fun. When the big day comes around you will have already spent time with me. Lots of my couples have used the photographs for their signature board on their wedding day, for their guests to sign.

I have lots of payment options. You can choose whichever suits best. I accept Postal orders, cheques and Bank drafts. I also accept payment by bank transfer, and can send Paypal or Stripe invoices should you wish to pay by Debit/Credit Card.

I’ll arrive with the bride 2 hours before the ceremony.

Package 1 is our standard coverage, this is a 7 hour day, we leave before dinner starts. If we’re booked for Package 2 the extended coverage, we stay until 4 to 5 songs after the first dance, up 10pm the latest. Extra coverage after this time can be arranged for an extra fee.

It depends on the length of the day, If booked until sitting down for the meal its 300+. If booked until first dance 400+. These numbers are only guidelines. We often far exceed this number.

Your photos will be ready 8 weeks after your wedding. Peak season can be up to 12 weeks, but I always aim for 8 weeks.

I have back-up cameras and flashes. Same as the main camera gear I use.

Your images are put through multiple levels of editing before you see them for the first time, using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop software.

We also own www.weddingalbums.ie where we offer several album options.

We design professional wedding albums for you. There is no need to download album design software, and spend an eternity learning how to use it. Simply choose your photographs from the gallery we send you, and we take care of everything. We design your album so your images flow seamlessly and look perfect together. Our professional design service will take care of the design for you. When your album has been designed, we send you a digital version of your album, so you can review the layout, before we go to print. We favour simple, clean, contemporary design, and let your images speak for themselves. We create high quality, professional wedding albums. Our album collection includes our most popular option, the Storybook Album. Professional wedding albums, built to last.

For photos it’s within 7 days. For albums it takes from 2 to 3 weeks.

Yes. Upgrading is no problem. Lots of couples do this.

If this ever happened, I know lots of wedding photographers. I am there for them and they are here for me. Therefore, I would arrange one of my Professional colleagues to cover your wedding. And rest assured, I would only use someone that I would be happy with if it were my wedding.

Of course. My cover includes all the usual stuff, plus Liability & Indemnity Insurance. Once a booking fee has been paid you will I receive a written contract.

TIP: Don’t book a photographer or any wedding vendor who is not insured, or won’t provide a written contract.

Absolutely!! Just e-mail me at gary@garybarrettphoto.com and I’ll be happy to answer any question you have.
