Capturing Life’s Most Cherished Moments Hi, I’m Stephen Dingley (LIPF), a passionate photographer based in Monasterevin, Co. Kildare. Since 2021, I’ve been dedicated to creating lasting memories through high-quality photography, bringing a personal touch to every occasion.

I offer personalized photography sessions tailored to your unique needs, with creative ideas and affordable packages designed to preserve your special moments. If you’re looking for heartfelt, professional photography with a personal touch, I’d love to work with you! Let’s create something special together.
I’ll ensure you’ll have wedding photos that show the joy and connection on your wedding day
I learn what you value
Before your big day, I will strive to learn what you value and what you’re most looking forward to about your wedding day so I can reflect that in your photos.
we photograph the emotion
With a fly-on-the-wall approach, it allows me to step back and intentionally photograph those emotion-packed moments of connection between you two and your family/friends.
we let you stay in the moment
This is your wedding, not a photoshoot. I will ensure we get all the photos you want while allowing you to, most importantly, be present with your guests and each other.
