You’re planning a wedding and its the BIGGEST news to share, so a big congratulations from us both!
We had our own BIG NEWS too we just have to share, we won Wedding Photographers Of The Year 2019 which was cause for champagne. We love what we do and we’ve been very fortunate in winning many awards over the years.
The truth is we have the best job in the world and we love it!
When you read this page we wanted to tell you all about us, so that you know the important job of capturing your big day is in the right hands if you choose us.
We love getting to share one of the happiest days in peoples lives. We see taking photos as freezing special moments in time. With myself and Fiona we work as a team to capture many angles and all of the action. Having two of us means we get plenty of photographs of not just the both of you, but also your families and guests.
We love to hear how our couples relive their wedding day all over again looking back at the photos and video.
We have shot hundreds of weddings together over the years. The secret sauce for us is we both have our different styles on a wedding day, from the natural, unposed, and in the moment photography to the creative, classic, and epic shots.
OUR MISSION is to make people look their best, look themselves, enjoy their day, and feel relaxed. Along with our cameras we do like to bring along a sense of humour too, especially to relax the nervous groom. We approach a wedding day knowing its a special day of celebration.
We love photographing those special moments that are gone forever, moments that are impossible to reproduce.
A wedding day is a celebration and its so nice to capture natural smiles, keeping people relaxed on camera, and showing the personality of the couple and the guests in the photos. This why the personality of the photographers gelling with you is so important. Only when you are having fun can only be achieved properly with two professional photographers.

Moments That Make Memories
Mark's Creative Style
I originally started out in the film world working on the lighting for film sets. It was here I learned how to control light and make it flattering to the eye on camera. Always a lover of photography & film, it was very soon after I began my own photography and film company and brought my expertise to weddings. Then when myself and Fiona joined forces we never looked back.
I find two things make a good photographer. Having a creative eye and good people skills. Helping people be themselves and completely relaxed in front of camera, almost forgetting the camera is there. I also love being creative and of course capturing those special moments.
When I read our testimonials of how couples enjoyed having us there, and they say “it was almost like having a friend take our photos”and “we love our photos and will cherish them” This means so much to us.
Getting great shots of couples, their families and friends is so important on a wedding day. My style is capturing those classic shots in a natural way. Having the both of us photographing your day tells the story of your day through the beautiful images we capture.

Fiona's Natural Style
The best photos of people are the ones that capture the personality of a person. I love capturing those spilt second photographs on a wedding day where things are moving at a fast pace.
Capturing those natural shots. Always striving to capture the grooms first glance of his bride as she arrives at the top of the aisle, the flower girl playing with her flowers, a sweet embrace, or a tear of joy. So many things happening all at once on a wedding day. I am always at the ready to capture the moments that make those special memories.
Unposed and not staged are the best kind of photographs I love. These are the real moments of your wedding day. A couple being themselves, relaxed, and enjoying their day are the photos I love to capture.
When you look back at your wedding photos and see your friends and family having a laugh or maybe a joyous tear being shed. It's those split second moments in time that give you a real feel for not just how your day looked, but also how it felt. Those moments in time are my speciality.

How it all began....
We are a husband and wife team, married for over ten years. For the same time we have been photographing and filming weddings in Ireland and overseas.
We first met when they were only seven years old. We became friends and eventually started dating in our late teens. We never would have guessed that meeting at seven we would eventually be married. Soon after being married we joined forces professionally and the wedding company “The Fennells” was born over ten years ago.
We make the perfect team as we both have two individual styles. Also the mix of a guy and girls photography perspective gives a great mix of wedding photography. We love being creative and we are passionate about what we do.
We’ve been blessed to have won may awards over the years and had the honour of photographing some very famous faces. Recently we won Photographer Of The Year and also listed as one of the highest sought after wedding teams in Ireland, which means a lot.
Videography & Drone...
When I started in the wedding business years ago I actually started our wedding film company, and so we have many years experience filming weddings. We have built a team of videographers who work for us. So if you want your day photographed and filmed we can offer both. For most weddings we do, couples will book us and our videographer. The advantage is that we work as a team, meaning the style is similar for the photography and film. Our film style is documentary style, so unobtrusive filming is key. It also means a couple or planner only have to deal with myself and I organise the photography and filming and we all work as a team on the day. We have many options when it comes to filming your day from 60 second highlights to the full light wedding film.
