About Darren Byrne – Wedding Photographer.
I’m Darren Byrne, a multi-award-winning photographer and videographer based on the Meath/Kildare border. After studying photography at Dundalk Institute of Technology, I set up my wedding and portrait studio in Kilcock, Co. Meath.
For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of capturing thousands of magical moments for couples across Ireland. From grand celebrations to intimate ceremonies, every wedding tells a unique story, and I’m here to document it beautifully, one frame at a time.
A Photographer Who ‘Gets’ the importance of Family
As a father of two boys and a girl, I know just how important family moments truly are. That’s why I’ll do whatever it takes to capture those perfect shots with your loved ones—whether it’s a candid laugh, a heartfelt hug, or a quiet, meaningful glance. Every family dynamic is unique, and I make sure each image reflects those connections with warmth, care, and authenticity.
My Photography Style
I blend traditional and modern styles of photography with a creative and slightly quirky approach. From timeless portraits to spontaneous candid shots, I cover it all—classical, creative, and documentary photography—always with a relaxed and fun vibe.
Every wedding is a new opportunity to grow, and I’m always striving to improve with every shot I take. My passion for wedding photography and videography drives me to capture those fleeting, emotional moments while letting your big day unfold naturally. The result? A beautiful, authentic story told through every frame.

Photography isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. It’s in my blood, driving me to capture fleeting moments, raw emotions, and genuine connections. Every click of the shutter is fueled by my passion to tell stories that will be cherished for generations. It’s not just about taking photos; it’s about preserving memories, creating art, and leaving behind something timeless. That’s what keeps me inspired, wedding after wedding.
