Authentic Moments. Zero Awkward Posing.

Your wedding day should be about laughter, connection, and real moments — not stiff posing. I’m Danielle, a Northern Ireland wedding photographer based in Ballymena, specialising in relaxed, natural photography that captures your story as it unfolds. From Belfast City weddings to the stunning coastlines of Antrim, I photograph weddings all over Northern Ireland with a modern, authentic style. No forced smiles, no awkward posing, just real moments and genuine connection.

A Laid-Back Approach to Wedding Photography

I believe wedding photography should feel easy, fun, and stress-free. If you're dreaming of a chilled-out wedding day without the pressure of traditional posing, you're in the right place.

Whether you're planning an intimate Belfast City Hall wedding or a full-day celebration anywhere in Northern Ireland, I’m here to document the moments that matter — the laughter, the quiet looks, the chaos, and the joy — exactly as they happen.

Weddings in Northern Ireland

Northern Ireland offers some of the most beautiful and diverse wedding locations in the world. Whether you’re planning a Belfast City Hall elopement, a countryside celebration in County Antrim, or a windswept coastal wedding on the Causeway Coast, every setting tells a different story.

Having photographed weddings across NI, I can recommend locations, hidden photo spots, and venues that perfectly suit your day.

Working with a local photographer means:

  • Knowledge of popular venues like Galgorm Resort, Limepark and Orange Tree House

  • Experience with Belfast City weddings, rural barn venues, and coastal elopements

  • Understanding how to make the most of Northern Ireland’s light and landscapes

  • A relaxed approach so you can enjoy the day without feeling “on show”

“Danielle was a dream to work with. We organized our Irish wedding from Canada and Danielle really helped it run smoothly. From her communication leading up to the day to her fly on the wall style photography on the day. Any snaps we wanted she took, but she never kept us away from our guests which was really important to us.”

“Danielle was amazing to work with. She was so professional and really listened to what type of photos we were looking for. She made us feel at ease and taking our bridal portraits is one of my favorite memories of the day. I couldn’t recommend Danielle enough! I am so grateful for the photos she captured.”
