    Hi,

    So trying to pick a wedding photographer is getting overwhelming and my fiance at this point is saying pick whichever one you want :eek:

    Think i'm looking too much and they are all blending into one.

    So I have it narrowed down to a few that are in and around the same price and are available for ourwedding date in Dublin. if you all could tell me which you prefer of if you have used them before?

    Or if you have similar style recommendations feel free to post those too.

    Here goes;

    I booked Aoife, your last link.
    She's a pearl of a person and so delightful to work with!

    Anyway, back to your question! If you love someone's style then just go with them - if you over think it you will just get confused. That goes with everything, bands, florists etc. Don't overthink it and just book the one you love.

    Best of luck with the decision!!

    Which one did ye click with the best when ye met them? That who I’d chose. You’ll be spending a lot of time with them in the day and it’s important that you feel comfortable with them.

    I haven’t met any of them yet just narrowing them down first. Would you recommend meeting them all or a few even?

    If you can’t decide I would. You could love a photographers style but not click with them as a person. We met with 2 and had pretty much decided to go with the 1st one before we met the 2nd (she was more expensive). When we met her there was no choice anymore. We just got on so we’ll with her and felt so comfortable that it was totally worth the extra money. 4 years later and I still love looking at our photos and have great memories of the “photo shoot” parts of our wedding. I don’t really like having my photo taken but I had such fun on the day.

    We used Aoife (the third link) and she was brilliant!
    Really fun to work with, not intrusive at all on the day. Most of the people on the day thought she was a friend of ours who was doing the photos as a present because she got along with everyone so well and was just a treat to work with.
    We've only gotten a few samples so far as the wedding was less than two weeks ago but they look great. Looking forward to the rest of them :)

    Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Don't know any of them, but the second and third of the three that you've linked take much nicer photos (in my opinion) than the first. Go with the soundest, you'll thank yourself on the day.

    Not sure where you are based (as the all seem to charge for travel expenses) but DK Photo is amazing
