Wedding Photographer based near Ballyclare
Your wedding day is possibly one of the most important days of your life, whether it’s a small, intimate ceremony shared with close friends and family, or a larger wedding with a lot more going on.
We want to do all we can to make sure firstly, that the main focus of your day is to really enjoy every moment with the people who are most important to you … and secondly to provide you and your friends and family with beautiful photographs that capture all the fun … and emotion … of the day.
We will try to get those important ‘checklist’ photos done as quickly as possible (to keep everyone happy), allowing you to get back to enjoying the time with friends… and then we can focus on capturing the special people and moments of the day, from the oldest guest to the youngest!
By meeting up and thinking about the photos with you well in advance, I can concentrate on what is most important to you about your wedding day … and providing you with images that reflect all that is special to you!

Benefits of Two Wedding Photographers
For weddings and larger events, I work together with Diane McConnaughie, a colleague and friend from my home village of Ballynure.
Diane runs FotoFab and is a creative and gifted family, lifestyle and wedding photographer whose relaxed, gentle and warm approach enables her to capture the most natural images of her subjects, especially when they include smaller children!
We work in a very similar style and would be using identical equipment to photograph your wedding, thereby ensuring seamless coverage of your day.
Capture every moment
Having two wedding photographers co-operating on your day helps ensure not a moment is missed, especially when you have spent so much time and effort planning everything! Having two of us there will help to capture all the little details and all the spontaneous moments, as well as all the key elements you would expect to be covered on your wedding day.
One with Bride, one with Groom
The getting ready part of the day is so lovely to photograph! The anticipation of what lies ahead, the dress hung up, the all-important shoes, the flowers, your dad seeing you dressed and ready to leave home for the ‘last’ time. The nerves and excitement! Often missed is all the build-up for the groom. Him getting his buttonhole pinned on, the ‘Dutch courage’ pint with his best man, a shot of the rings, the groom briefing his ushers etc. With two photographers you can capture all the wonderful build up to the special moment. As well as capturing every emotional and glamourous detail of your all-important walk down the aisle, having a second photographer there will make sure that you have a timeless record of the groom’s reaction as his beautiful bride approaches … just to make sure he’s paying attention!
Traditional shots and Candid shots
If you want to be sure all the ‘traditional’ group shots are covered … but would like some candid shots too, one photographer can be photographing your wedding party and family, while the second can be looking for, and capturing, those fantastic humorous and often emotional candid shots of your family, close friends and special guests.
Your Wedding Day matters to us
“We take the responsibility of photographing your wedding very seriously … and we count it an absolute privilege to be trusted with providing you with high-quality and timeless images that you, your friends, and family will treasure.
“More Beautiful Images means More Special memories.”
