Maeve Larkin
Photography & Film
Wedding photography & film · All over Ireland
Hello, I'm Maeve.
I'm the one at the back of the church with a camera and, usually, a mouthful of tea. I photograph and film weddings all over Ireland, and I do both myself, so you only have one person to get to know.
I won't march you around for hours. I'd rather let the day happen, the nervous laugh before the ceremony, the speech that goes wildly off-script, the dancing that goes on far too late, and be standing in the right spot when it does.
Tell me your date and I'll tell you if I'm free. No hard sell, I promise.
Most couples tell me they forgot I was there.

I can't promise a perfect sky. I can promise I'll be looking at the right thing.

Dad's face when he sees you
It lasts about three seconds, and I'm always ready for it.

Nana on the dance floor
She said she wasn't dancing. She was the last one off it.

The look you give each other when nobody's watching
Usually somewhere between the photos and the dinner. It's the one you'll keep.

One umbrella, two people, no complaints.
Kind words.
A few lines from couples, sent once the gallery landed.
We were dreading the photos bit. It took fifteen minutes, and those are the ones on our wall now. Honestly, we forgot Maeve was even there.
The film made my dad cry, and he didn't even cry at the wedding. We've watched it more times than we'd admit.

Questions.
The ones I get asked most. If yours isn't here, just ask.
What if it rains?
It's Ireland, so I'll have the umbrella ready. Some of my favourite wedding photos are wet ones, and nobody has ever said the rain ruined theirs.
How far ahead should I book?
Summer Saturdays go first, so a year to eighteen months ahead is safest. But ask anyway. If your date is free I'll tell you straight away, and I sometimes have midweek and winter dates at short notice.
Do you travel?
All over Ireland, and travel is included in every package. Getting married abroad? Lovely. We'll sort flights and a bed for the night between us.
When do we get our photos?
A sneak peek lands within a few days, and your full online gallery within four to six weeks. Films take a little longer, about eight weeks, because the edit deserves time.
Do you do film as well as photos?
Yes, and I do both myself, so there is one person at your wedding, not two. The Day includes a 3-minute highlight film, Dawn to Dancing adds the full wedding film, and a film can be added to The Ceremony too.
How do we pay?
A €500 booking fee holds your date, and the rest is due two weeks before the wedding. Bank transfer is easiest, and I'll send a simple contract so everyone knows where they stand.
Let's talk about your day.
Pick your date first and I'll tell you straight away if it's free. No pushy emails, and I always reply within a day.
Thank you.
I'll be in touch within a day. In the meantime, put the kettle on.
