Wedding Day Photography
Planning your wedding day can be exciting, overwhelming, and full of decisions.
One of the most important? Choosing the right photography package to capture your memories beautifully, without overspending or missing key moments.
At Darren Byrne Photography, I offer clear, flexible wedding photography packages and can cover anywhere in Ireland. Here’s how to pick the one that’s right for you.
1. Start With Your Timeline
Think about how much of your day you want captured:
Just the essentials: Ceremony, portraits, and family shots or
Full story: From morning prep to first dance
If you’re having a shorter ceremony or an elopement, a half-day package may be perfect. But if you want all the emotional build-up and celebrations documented, full-day coverage is worth it.
🗓️ Tip: Draft a rough wedding timeline before choosing a package.
2. Consider Your Guest List and Venues
Weddings with multiple locations (e.g., prep at home, church ceremony, hotel reception) or large guest lists often benefit from:
Full-day coverage and
A second shooter to capture reactions, details, and candid moments you might miss
Smaller weddings or single-location events may not require the same level of coverage.
3. Think About How You Want to Remember Your Day
Photos are your lasting keepsake. Ask yourself:
Do I want a professionally designed album?
Will I want a highlight video too?
Do I prefer more posed shots, or relaxed and candid?
At Darren Byrne Photography, I keep things relaxed and natural. Most couples tell me they didn’t even realise I was snapping away, and they love the results.
4. Set a Realistic Budget
You don’t need to go overboard to get incredible wedding photos. I’ve designed my packages to suit a range of budgets. Whether you’re planning a small ceremony or a large celebration.
💡 Tip: Photography is one of the few wedding investments that lasts forever. Prioritise quality and reliability over gimmicks.
5. Ask the Right Questions
Make sure your photographer is a good fit. Ask things like:
- How many hours of coverage do I get?
- Can we customise a package?
- Are travel costs included?
- What’s the turnaround time for images?
I’m always happy to answer these and help you feel confident in your choice.
