Darren Kirwan
I'm a documentary wedding photographer based in the twin towns of Ballina/Killaloe. Originally from Limerick. I love nothing more than having good laugh, so I’m always in search of humour in my photography. A Limerick man by birth, I moved to Tipperary in 2019 to the little lakeside village of Ballina with my beautiful wife and 2 gorgeous little girls. Music-mad, football-mad, and pre-kids, travel-mad. I picked up my first camera while living in Canada, I bought my first pro camera while living in New Zealand, and since then I’ve been photography-mad. Back to Ireland a couple of years later, into photography college four days after returning. Graduated. Hundreds of weddings later, I have built a successful business and I get to do what I genuinely love doing every week – photographing weddings and having craic. I meet brilliant couples and their families, get invited into their inner circles for an amazing day in their lives, and I’m surrounded by them at their happiest – what’s not to love?
