Wedding Photography in
Northern Ireland

Your Wedding – Your Way, the way it should be

We are a Northern Ireland wedding photography team with experience across city, countryside, coastal and destination-style weddings. From Belfast City Hall ceremonies to rural venues across Antrim, Down and Fermanagh, our approach is centred on real moments and natural storytelling…

We hope that you have had a chance to look through our wedding photo samples and video galleries and like what you see. We would love to be your wedding photographer.

We are all unique and all have different visions and needs when it comes to planning our wedding and as such, here at Shine Pics, we believe in choice, not forced options.

By offering Wedding Photography Packages from one hour through to all day, no matter what you want or your budget, we have a photography package that will be able to accommodate you.

Our ethos and methodology is simple, its your wedding, it should be done the way you want it to be done.

How Wedding Photography Works

Every wedding day is different, which is why we don’t force couples into rigid photography packages.

Most weddings in Northern Ireland follow a similar flow — preparations, ceremony, family photos, couple portraits, speeches and evening celebrations — but the timing, locations and atmosphere vary hugely depending on venue, season and personal plans.

Some couples only want coverage of the ceremony and a short portrait session. Others prefer full-day coverage, starting with bridal preparations and finishing once the evening is well underway. Both approaches work — what matters is choosing coverage that fits your day, not someone else’s idea of what a wedding should look like.

We’re always happy to help couples work out how much photography they actually need, based on their venue, ceremony time and priorities. There’s no pressure to decide everything up front — a simple conversation is usually enough to clarify what will work best.

Short Coverage vs All-Day Coverage

Short coverage, such as 1,2 or 3 hour wedding photography is ideal for smaller weddings, registry office ceremonies or couples who simply want the key moments captured without a full day of photography.

All-day coverage is more common for larger weddings or venues with multiple locations. It allows the full story of the day to unfold naturally — from preparations through to the speeches and early evening celebrations.

Neither option is “better”. The right choice depends on your venue layout, ceremony time and how much of the day you want documented. We regularly photograph both short and full-day weddings across Northern Ireland, and we’re happy to advise once we know the details of your plans.

Adding a Wedding Video helps you capture so many small parts of your day that will normally go completely missed. Your day is no doubt going to be busy from start to end, and there is so much more happening on all around you that you never get to see. All footage is edited into a flowing story line of your wedding day, happy and sad bits included. Here are some sample wedding video’s.

FAQs

Not always.

A second photographer can be helpful for larger weddings, venues with multiple locations, or days where events overlap — for example, preparations happening in different places, or very large guest numbers.

For smaller weddings or venues where everything happens close together, a single photographer is often more than enough to capture the full story of the day.

We’re always happy to advise once we know your venue, guest numbers and timeline. There’s no default “right answer” — it depends entirely on how your day is structured.

Rain is something we’re very used to working with in Northern Ireland. We plan for it in advance, using covered areas, indoor spaces and sheltered locations at your venue. Some of the most atmospheric and memorable photos often happen on overcast or rainy days, thanks to softer light and dramatic skies. If the weather changes, we adapt quickly and keep things relaxed. You don’t need a backup plan for every scenario — that’s part of our job.

The number of photos varies depending on how long we’re with you and how the day unfolds.

As a guide, shorter coverage usually results in a few hundred carefully edited images, while full-day coverage produces a larger, more complete collection that tells the full story of the day.

We don’t limit the number of photos delivered. Every image you receive is individually edited and supplied digitally via an online gallery.

Your online gallery is typically ready within a few days of your wedding. Each image is individually edited to ensure consistency and quality, and your gallery is delivered digitally, making it easy to view, download and share. We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe after your wedding and keep you updated along the way.
