A little about us

Thoughtfully captured. Artfully told.

We’re Lesley Ann and Jose, the husband-and-wife team behind Sunset Films Studio, specialising in candid wedding photography and cinematic wedding films across Ireland.

With nearly a decade of experience and a shared love of cinema, storytelling and the beauty of real moments, we create photographs and films that feel natural, emotive and timeless.

Our approach blends candid storytelling with an editorial eye, capturing not only the big moments, but also the fleeting glances, quiet in-betweens and little details that make your wedding yours. We believe the most meaningful images are those that bring you back to how it all felt, preserving the atmosphere, emotion and connections that make your day unforgettable.

Our approach

We take a relaxed, thoughtful approach to every wedding, allowing the day to unfold naturally while capturing its most meaningful moments. With gentle direction when needed and a discreet presence wherever possible, we focus on genuine connections, joyful celebrations and the beautiful details that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Combining our experience in photography and filmmaking with a considered, cinematic style, we create imagery that feels authentic to you — photographs and films to revisit and treasure for years to come.

The people behind Sunset Films Studio

Lesley Ann

Lesley Ann looks after our couples throughout their journey, from the initial enquiry to the final delivery of their photographs and films. Behind the scenes, she also contributes to the editing process, helping bring each wedding story together with care, creativity and attention to detail.

Jose

Jose leads the wedding-day photography and cinematography, bringing his filmmaking expertise and creative vision to capturing each celebration. He studied Television and Film at the University of Wolverhampton and went on to train with renowned cinematographers and lighting specialists, developing his skills in cinematography, lighting, direction and editing.

His professional background spans film production, music videos, corporate projects and wedding photography and cinematography, informing the thoughtful, cinematic approach at the heart of Sunset Films.

Experience & recognition

We’re proud to have received multiple industry awards and to have earned recognition within Ireland’s wedding photography and cinematography community.

Jose has also served as a judge for the Irish Professional Photographers and Videographers Association (IPPVA), reflecting his involvement in the wider professional industry.

For weddings requiring additional coverage, we collaborate with a trusted team of experienced photographers and videographers, ensuring a considered and consistent approach throughout the day.

A little beyond the camera

When we’re not working on weddings, you’ll often find us watching films, swimming in the Irish sea (even when it’s a little bracing!), travelling, spending quality time with family and friends, or enjoying the beauty of the Irish landscape — usually with our beloved family pets nearby.

We feel incredibly fortunate to do what we love and, above all, to be invited into such a personal and meaningful part of people's lives.

We’d love to hear your plans

If you’re looking for wedding photography and films that feel honest, considered and entirely your own, we’d love to hear all about your plans.

Tell us a little about your day, your ideas and what matters most to you. We’d be delighted to get to know you and explore how we can tell your story together.

Sunset Films — honest moments, artfully told.
