Ursula McCollam Photography

Ursula McCollam is a specialist wedding photographer based in Antrim, with a warm, relaxed approach designed for camera‑shy couples who want their day captured honestly and beautifully. Having discovered photography in a school darkroom and shot over 200 weddings across Ireland, the UK and beyond, Ursula blends documentary intuition with a gentle, planned portrait style she calls "plandid" — candid moments with thoughtful direction. Why choose Ursula? She’s built her business on making wedding photography stress‑free. Ursula limits the number of weddings she takes each year so every couple receives her undivided attention. Her superpowers—time travel (images that bring emotions rushing back), stealth mode (those moments when no one is watching) and no awkward posing—mean your gallery will feel authentic, emotional and timeless. Expect laughter, tears, and the craic captured with heart and creativity. Her process is simple and personal. From the first call or coffee, Ursula gets to know you, your plans and the moments that matter most. She plans quietly behind the scenes—liaising with venues, scouting light and locations when needed—so you can relax and enjoy the day. On the wedding morning she works unobtrusively during getting ready, captures the ceremony with sensitivity, and slips into stealth mode during the reception to photograph real reactions and storytelling detail. Portrait time is treated as a friendly dander: short, relaxed and designed to bring out your best without pressure. Practical reliability sits alongside creative flair. Ursula is obsessive about backups and comes prepared for every eventuality, so your memories are safe. She’s fully insured, travels across Northern Ireland (and beyond), and loves shooting in coastal spots and dramatic grounds across the region. While weddings are her core specialism, Ursula also offers engagement and family sessions for couples who want a relaxed dry run before the big day or natural family images that celebrate everyday life. Whatever you choose, her tone is the same: personable, upbeat and committed to creating photographs that feel like time travel—images you’ll still treasure in years to come. Based in Antrim and serving Belfast and all of Northern Ireland, Ursula welcomes couples who want a relaxed, authentic and joyful photographer to document their wedding story.
