Planning a Derry or north west wedding and looking for a photographer who already knows the venues, the light, and the way the day flows? We've shot well over 700 weddings across Northern Ireland — from the walled city and the Guildhall to the country estates around Limavady and the Roe Valley — so we arrive with a plan, not a rigid shot list.

A wedding is made up of hundreds of tiny moments, and photography is how you keep them forever. We focus on the real, in-between ones: the quiet before the ceremony, the hand squeeze during vows, the carefree dancing late into the night. The style is relaxed and natural, so you can be fully present while we document the day in a way that feels effortless.

Whether you're marrying in the city, out toward Coleraine and the coast, or at a country house in between, browse our galleries for a feel of what to expect on your own day.

Storybook · Derry

Your wedding day, not a photo shoot.

Your wedding day should never feel like a photo shoot. We work gently in the background, capturing the energy and emotion of your day without ever pulling you out of the moment.

From the first look to the final hugs, we're there to document it all — with warmth, intention, and an eye for the little things you'll treasure most. There's no such thing as a 'typical' wedding, so your photos should reflect the uniqueness of your day. No formulas, no rigid shot lists.

The goal is simple: to make photographs that feel like memories, not just pictures.
