hello —

I'm the photographer behind every wedding I shoot.

No second shooters you've never met, no rotating team. Just me — quietly moving through your day, looking for the small bits that you'll want to remember in twenty years. The held breath before the doors open. The way your dad looks at you. The laugh after the speech lands.

Based in Belfast, available across Northern Ireland and happy to travel for destination weddings.

Common questions

  • How far in advance should I book?

    Most Saturdays from May to September book 12–18 months ahead. Off-season and midweek dates are usually available with 3–6 months' notice.

  • Do you travel outside Northern Ireland?

    Yes — Ireland and the UK are included for travel. Further afield is happily considered with travel costs at cost.

  • How long until we get our photos?

    A teaser gallery within 48 hours, the full edited gallery within 6 weeks.

  • Do you have backup gear?

    Always. Two camera bodies, three lenses, two flashes, and two SD cards recording in parallel for every shot.

  • Can we add an album later?

    Of course. Albums can be ordered any time after your wedding — most couples wait until they've picked their favourites.
