family photographer

As a passionate Northern Ireland wedding photographer and family photographer located just outside Ballymoney, I'm dedicated to capturing the essence of moments in a light-filled, natural, and emotional manner. Couples and families throughout Northern Ireland are my focus. Alongside my wonderful wife Laura and our three amazing kids and three furry companions, I love exploring the Causeway Coastal Route during our leisure time.

Living near the renowned Dark Hedges, famed by Game of Thrones, I'm privileged to be surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the North Coast. From Murlough Bay to Portstewart, the Causeway Coastal Route offers an array of inspiring locations for my photography.

Every aspect of photography exhilarates me – from meticulously planning shoots using Google Maps and satellite imagery, to meeting clients, embracing early mornings and late evenings, and the thrill of bringing it all together in post-processing for that incredible final image. It's a privilege to chronicle my clients' lives, ensuring no fleeting detail is overlooked, capturing poignant moments like the tear rolling down a cheek during the aisle walk or the shared laughter of a couple during an engagement shoot.

I'm driven to weave stories through imagery, no matter where life's moments unfold. Whether in Coleraine, Ballycastle, Ballymoney, Ballymena, or beyond, I'm ready and eager to document the love and connection that defines your family or partnership.
