About us
Our little love story!
“The plot that thickened fast”
Like a lot of Irish love stories, ours began in a pub in Galway back in 2014! It was a classic “sliding doors” moment, Mairéad was out with the girls, Johnny was on a lad’s weekend away.
In fact, Johnny was so ready for home, he literally had one foot in a taxi! When he was dragged back for “one last drink” by his friends, he walked into the very bar Mairéad happened to be in! A few hours of chatting over a shared love of photography, and the rest—as they say—was history.
Fast forward to today, and our “one last drink” has turned into a life long venture together, along with our two kids, Lily and Danny. We’ve been telling love stories ever since ours began, and we’d be honoured to tell yours.
Johnny-Videographer
I’m Johnny – a Sligo native and true home bird who found a career that takes me all over the country! I’ve always had a “technical mind,” but it only truly fires up when I’m working on something I love.
Since shooting my first wedding in 2010, I’ve realised that being a videographer is about so much more than hitting ‘record.’ It’s about being a quiet narrator for your day. I love the challenge of finding those tiny, fleeting moments and turning them into a lifelong story. If I’m not shooting a wedding, I’m usually off camping with my family or learning the latest in Brazillain Jiu-Jitsu.
Mairéad-Photographer
I’m Mairéad, the storyteller and photographer behind the lens at Wedding Moments. My journey to photography wasn’t a straight line, I had to take the scenic route! Before shooting weddings I had budding dreams of a career in Radio & Media after studying both in Dublin. However, the universe had a different plan! The itch to travel got the better of me and I set off on my travels around Australia and Southeast Asia. I returned home with a camera full of memories and the realisation that I’ve always been fascinated by people and their stories. So landing in the world of wedding photography feels like a match made in heaven!
These days, my travels have turned into camping trips along the Wild Atlantic Way with our two energetic kids!
My media background taught me how to listen, but photography taught me how to see everything happening around me. I’m not just there to take photos on your wedding day, I’m there to connect with you and capture the true essence of your wedding day.
Our approach to creating your photos & wedding film
People often ask us if we ever get bored of documenting weddings. The answer is a resounding no! Each wedding is so different and being surrounded by happiness & celebration is a pretty great way to work!
Our aim is to capture the true emotions on your wedding day without getting in the way. We do this by staying in the background so you can stay in the moment.
We know you’re there to celebrate with your favorite people, not to stand in a line for hours of posing. If you’re with your guests, we’re right there too -blending in and documenting the laughter, the tears, and every “sliding doors” moment that makes your day yours.
We tell your story, your way
