photographers
The Portrait Room blend in at your wedding as quiet observers to create photographs and films that are truly timeless. We are there when you need us and in the shadows as you’re blissfully enjoying your day. For us, the best wedding photographs show real connection, knowing glances, genuine smiles, and heartfelt tears. We would love nothing more than to capture the look on your Dad’s face, the sound of your Mum’s laugh, your touch as you reach out to hold your Granny’s hand. These are the moments that drive us and what we celebrate through the art of wedding photography. Please take your time to explore the Portrait Rooms portfolio and testimonial page of candid photography. We hope you find what you are looking for here and we can start telling your story as it unfolds before our lens.
“Roger was absolutely fabulous from start to finish.
We felt so lucky that he was available as he was our first choice from the very beginning (and I did a RELENTLESS amount of research!). We knew we were making the right decision in choosing the Portrait Room. On the day, Roger made us feel so relaxed and calm, he kept us laughing and everything felt very natural with no pressure whatsoever - he captured every shot we wanted along with hundreds of candid moments which we'll treasure forever. Highly recommend Roger for your wedding day, he's such a lovely guy and hugely talented in his craft. Roger, our photos are perfect!”

Roger was the photographer for our wedding and he was amazing!
We really loved how natural the photos were. He made us feel at ease and didn't have to do awkward poses. The photos turned out amazing, couldn't recommend enough!

“We can't even explain how much we love our sneak peak photos from Roger! 😍 We also can't believe that he sent them to us the next day and we were honestly blown away by how amazing they are! I got so overwhelmed looking at them. I didn't realise how much I wanted the perfect pictures until that moment and I bawled crying, in the middle of the pub on our day 2, when I saw them! 🙈😂 We have already been asked for Roger's contact details by some of our guests to pass on to their friends that are getting married. Roger and Chris (videographer) were so amazing to work with. We love how on the ball they both were and how quickly they got through all the "formal" photos. Myself and Jonathan aren't particularly comfortable with cameras pointing at us and we found it strange how easy they made the couple photos. It didn't feel like we were "posing" yet they still captured such amazing moments. We would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a more relaxed, documentary style of photography and videography! ❤️ “

My name is Roger and I started my photography journey back at school in Dublin were we were lucky enough to have a darkroom and an art teacher interested in film photography and cameras. He introduced us to the great American and French street photographers of the 20th century. Much of my time was spent in the Photo Museum of Ireland in Temple bar formerly the Gallery of Photography which is such an excellent photographic resource. Their exhibitions and book shop is one of my favourite places to visit in Dublin. After leaving school I went to University and received a first class honours degree in media studies majoring in photography. Before starting on my journey as a professional photographer I worked in the camera department on feature films and TV dramas in Ireland as a clapper loader. Back when cameras used film long before Instagram and the digital age! My plan at the time was to become a cinematographer as I loved going to the cinema and watching films from around the world. But I soon realised my true love was actually photography and in particular street photography and photojournalism. A single frame taken at exactly the right time framed at exactly the right angle became my obsession. But the big question was how do you actually make a living as a photographer! Then as I developed into my late twenties and friends started getting married I discovered wedding photography.
This website is a photography resource for you if you are getting married in Dublin. We are here to help you make the best possible decisions. Such as the best wedding venues in Ireland. Places to stay and pubs to go to for a pint of Guinness when you are in Dublin. Just make sure to bring your camera as I have discovered, Dublin maybe the smallest capital city in Europe but it has the most diverse landscape and cityscape. With so many great places of historical interest.. Here you will find a travel guide for getting married in Ireland. All within a small and easy to get around area. Get in touch with Shane and try one of his Howth Adventures and enjoy walks along the cliffs and discover the history and folklore of this incredible city founded by the vikings. Or how about visiting the world famous Forty Foot sea swimming area next to the James Joyce Martello Tower. Two other great place to visit during your time in Dublin, particularly if your are interested in whiskey is Teelings Distillery or The Guinness Storehouse. If you enjoy hiking and the outdoors then take a trip to the Dublin and Wicklow mountains for some epic scenic views at Belmont Estate. Or if you just want to settle down for a chat and a few pints then I am big fan of Hogans and The Long Hall on George’s Street or Nearys or McDaids just off the top of Grafton Street. Dublin is full of excellent luxury five star hotels including The Shelbourne and The Merrion Hotel. Another great resource for accommodation and wedding venues in Ireland is the Blue Book. Here you will find many of Ireland’s country house and castle venues. A number of the Blue Book country houses and castles are available for exclusive use for private house parties and stylish weddings. Romantic views in idyllic places of profound beauty. They will provide a wonderful location for your special event.
If you follow me on Instagram you will know I am big fan of sea swimming and saunas. I am also partial to a bit of pilates and trail running in the Wicklow mountains. After having two children we decided it was time to get married and we had a church wedding in Greystones then went on to our reception at the Royal Irish Yacht Club where my wife Emer, arrived to the reception on the yacht she crews on. If you know sailors it was definitely more of a party than a wedding! There are now five of us in the family and we are all big rugby, hockey and athletics fans. We are season ticket holders for Leinster rugby. One of my favourite pastimes is going to live concerts.
If you have some questions or would like to chat without any pressure, please reach out to see if your date is available and let’s start a conversation! We love hearing about your love story. Whether you are planning the wedding yourselves or you are using one of the many great Irish wedding planners. If you are looking for a wedding planner to help you get organised and keep everything on track here are a few to get you started. The team at Waterlilly Weddings. Kate from Perfect Details. Maria from Maria Reidy Events, Olivia Buckley International. Tara Fay Events. If flowers are your thing then I highly recommend the teams at Lamber de Bie and Frog Prince. Although we do videography ourselves because it compliments our approach and style we would also always recommend Emma from Edit House for great contemporary videography. A really important part of your wedding day is the ceremony and to set the right tone you need an experienced celebrant. Someone who can read the room. A celebrant with some gravitas but also someone who has a great sense of humour. I always enjoy working with Romy McAuley or Billy Hutchinson. If you have your ideas for your speech but our worried about how to write it then get in touch with Melanie from Instanza.
I am lucky to have Chris and Hannah also as part of The Portrait Room team and we love traveling Ireland together with fun loving adventurous couples to some of the most incredible wedding venues in the world. Ireland really has everything you need for an amazing wedding.
