Northern Ireland Wedding Photographer Blog

Welcome to my Northern Ireland wedding photography blog!

This is where I share real weddings, beautiful wedding venues, helpful wedding planning tips and everything I’ve learnt from photographing hundreds of weddings across Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Whether you’re just starting to plan your wedding, looking for a little venue inspiration or want to see what it’s really like to have me along for the day, grab a cuppa and have a browse. Hopefully you’ll find something useful, helpful and maybe a little bit of inspiration for your own wedding.

Melissa is exceptional! She is so positive, efficient and easy to work with – a true professional. We loved both our engagement and wedding photos. Melissa captured a lovely range of traditionally posed photos along with more candid and modern takes. We had many guests comment on how good our photographer was – we couldn’t agree more!

GOT SOME QUESTIONS?

I’m from Tandragee, in County Armagh the home of Tayto Crisps (the yellow ones lol).

I travel all over the North and South for weddings. From Sligo to Belfast, Dublin to Donegal, if you’re getting married anywhere in our gorgeous wee country, count me in. I’ll bring the camera and the craic!

A local Irish wedding photographer understands the best venues, lighting conditions and weather, helping you feel relaxed while creating beautiful images throughout your wedding day.

Absolutely! I’d love to hop on Zoom or Whatsapp Call, whatever works best for you!

Of course! I’d be more than happy to share a full gallery with you.

That way you can see exactly what you’ll get from me – a lovely mixture of beautifully directed shots that never feel overly posed, alongside all those natural documentary moments from the excitement of getting ready right through to the dancing.

Every gallery is unique to each couple’s day, so you’ll get a real feel for how I capture the story as it naturally unfolds. I will ask the couples if ok to share beforehand.

Yes. I can arrange a 2nd professional photographer to be at the other prep location, ensuring high quality images for both partners.

The 2nd photographer will remain with you up until Meal Call and while I am out capturing portraits they will either assist me or be in capturing your guests at your drinks reception.

My 2nd photographers are someone that is a full time working photographer, part of the Professional Photographers Association of Northern Ireland (of which I am President) and work with me on a regular basis so know my style.

I aim to have your gallery sent to you within 4-6 weeks of your wedding day. This may vary in busier times. I want you to relive the day all over again as soon as possible after the day..

A LOT!!!

I never limit shots but it will depend on various factors, such as the weather, time constraints etc but typical between 300-500 to dinner call and close to 1000 (usually more) if choosing booking until first dance.

Yes, as a Professional this is extremely important. I want to ensure that my clients and myself are covered. I have both Public liability and indemnity insurance.

I am also the President of the Professional Photographers Association of Northern Ireland, if cover needed should the unthinkable happen I have a whole group of fellow professionals to help.

My packages include travel to weddings within Northern Ireland and border counties up to 3 hours from my home in County Armagh. I’ll give you a custom quote for anywhere further afield.

I try to blog and share to socials as many weddings as I can however, unfortunately I don’t always have the time to blog everyone’s beautiful day. With running the business and having three kids, time is limited. So don’t be offended if your wedding is not on the blog.

To secure your date a booking fee is required and contract signed. All is done online. You can pay your booking fee via bank transfer. The balance is then due 2 weeks before your wedding date.
