We had Tara and Dave photograph our wedding on 31st December 2021 and they were just fantastic. They really do read a room and capture those moments so incredibly well. Aside from being wonderful at what they do, they are genuinely kind and lovely people who love having the craic. How comfortable they made us feel in what was a stressful morning, is a testament to how excellent they are at what they do. They are also great at putting on car ribbon, fixing veils and hunting down hairdressers in time of a crisis. I was blown away by the shots they took on a wet, windy day! Trust me, having these two as your photographers will be one of the best decisions you ever make. Thank you Tara and Dave, we are so grateful for the day you spent with us taking pictures that will last a lifetime x

We can’t possibly thank Dave and Tara for all their help on our wedding day. Tara was fantastic on the morning of the wedding, she made sure that we had all our preparations done in time to allow us to be able to sit down and relax for 5 minutes before the wedding, and in hindsight it was so important!! She was like an unofficial bridesmaid for me helping me with my dress!!
Dave was great with all of our families; everybody was complimenting him on how mannerly and unobtrusive he was with all of our guests. Our pictures are just fantastic, they caught every moment of the day. I thought that Dave would have problems with my husband being uncomfortable in front of the camera, but he made him feel so at ease. It’s no easy task to get pictures of loads of children, but they captured the most beautiful pictures of our two boys, they are absolute treasures to keep forever. They were both so wonderful, they absolutely made our day!!

Getting married is one of the most stressful, beautiful and amazing things you could ever do and it's so important to surround yourself with positivity, people you can rely on and laugh with.
Tara and Dave are all of those things - we feel blessed to have found them and shared that special day of our lives with.
We couldn't ever thank them enough x

We really enjoyed the morning. After a few minutes it was like you weren't even there.
The kids also warmed to you straight away and weren't one bit phased by the camera.
It was such a lovely thing to do as a family as we'll have memories forever.
We were honestly delighted with it and would highly recommend booking a family film!

Tara & Dave from the first time we met them were so nice and professional. They listen to what we wanted, and they delivered every request. I would highly recommend them. Love my pics!

I had Tara and Dave do our wedding photos last September and to say we were happy was an understatement, they were brilliant, so professional and on the day they completely relaxed myself and Kev. We were overwhelmed with our photos, they captured every special moment while having great fun also! I would highly recommend them and have done so many times. Great team!!

First Class Experience! Tara & Dave were our photographers for our wedding in Aug'22, and we cannot thank them enough...from all the emails in planning to meeting beforehand which settled some nerves to the day itself and all the contact in between! Everything was perfect on the big day, they were so friendly and warm, easy to get along with and have a laugh with. Would highly recommend without a doubt, thanks so much guys 💕

Tara and Dave were amazing!! They felt more like one of the guests then any normal photographer, we wanted a very relaxed feel to our wedding and not someone lurking in the background taking pictures. They really got involved with our guests and made them feel very at ease. As for the pictures I couldn’t have been happier with the results, this is the one day of your life where you want to look, feel amazing and you want your pictures to capture that which Tara and Dave really did. They couldn’t have done any more to make myself, my husband and all of the guests feel comfortable. We were all worried my father was not going to make it on time due to flying from London later than expected due to my brother being in hospital, it was extremely stressful for me already not having my brother but worrying about my dad also, but Tara made me feel so relaxed and helped me to enjoy our special day and cherish every moment and for that I am forever thankful. They both made a great effort to get to know everyone and really get involved with the wedding. They are both so talented and thought up some very memorable photos that myself and Gearoid will cherish forever. Thank you so much Tara and Dave your amazing!!!!! (And so are your photos) x

Tara and Dave were absolutely amazing from start to finish at capturing such special memories on our wedding day that we will cherish forever. Their professionalism and relaxed nature put us completely at ease so much so, we hardly knew they were there, which is what we really wanted when booking our wedding photographer. They really exceeded our expectations and we are beyond delighted with our photos, they are just beautiful. We can't recommend Tara Donoghue Photography enough to any future couples getting married. They are not just fun and easy going to be around but extremely talented at what they do. Jacqueline & Mike Doody x

Where do I start - from our pre-wedding photoshoot to being our right hand pair on the wedding morning right up until dinner time, Tara and Dave were just the most incredibly professional, efficient, talented duo! They were so calming on the morning - Tara was like another bridesmaid to me - zipping up dresses, keeping my hair in check, phoning suppliers and just all round offering tips, tricks and laughs all day. Dave was the same for the boys - bringing the craic and ensuring dicky bows and buttonholes were on straight! Neither of their smiles, professionalism or fab energy wavered at any stage of our day (one of the hottest days of the year!) no matter how many group shots we asked them to take! Our photos are absolutely breathtaking and you can tell Tara and Dave love what they do, they know exactly what to do and when. Thank you both so so much for making our day even more special than I could have dreamt, my only regret is not getting ye on the other side of the camera for a snap with us!! We couldn't imagine our day without you both, you made it all so effortless and so incredible - ye are such superstars, a dream team!

Honestly I don't even know what to say in this email, words will not do justice for just how beautiful the album and print are!
We are blown away by it. I can't stop thinking about it, I want to keep it safe and tucked away in its beautiful box but I also want it out for everyone to see how amazing the work you guys all did is!!
Thank you so much for capturing our special day and documenting them so beautifully in the album in a way that we can relive it forever!
Thank you!

I was in absolute bits looking over the photos from our wedding day! Tara and Dave were just the best. We are not fans of posing for photos but they made the experience so much fun and so easy. Most importantly they got lots of us with our guests and ensured we had lots of time with our guests. Tara and Dave felt like part of our family that day. They fitted it seamlessly, nobody seemed phased by the camera and the end shots are just incredible. There are no words to express how happy we are. Thank you both so very much 💖

Couldn't recommend Tara and Dave enough. From the moment we booked right up to receiving our full gallery Tara was always at the end of an email if I had any queries. We met with Tara back in March for our pre-shoot and straight away she put us at ease and from that moment we knew we made the right choice in photographers. The morning was spent laughing and that continued the day of the Wedding 🙂 Tara and Dave both blended in with our guest and captured the most amazing pictures. Tara deserves more than the 5 stars as she is fantastic at what she does. Tara and Dave we can not thank you both enough for everything, you both made our day that extra special.

What can I say about our photos! We are just blown away! They are so much more than we could ever have imagined. They just turned out so beautiful. We love them all. They are just so natural and really portray the most beautiful chilled relaxed day we had. We will cherish them forever. Could keep looking at them forever! We also want to thank yourself and Dave so much for being part of our day. Ye were just amazing. It honestly felt like ye were part of our family. The way ye just floated in the background and captured the most amazing natural shots was exactly what we wanted. Not once did we feel uncomfortable or under pressure in front of the camera on the day. Our families echo these thoughts too, they have commented so many times how friendly ye were and how relaxed they felt around ye. We are definitely not a family that would be comfortable in front of the camera but ye made everyone feel so relaxed on the day. We were just blown away by how ye worked. We would highly recommend ye to any one we knew that were planning their big day in a heartbeat. Thank ye both so much for everything from the bottom of our hearts. Kindest regards and love, Marie & Chris xxx
