Ricky Parker Photography

Ricky Parker is a wedding specialist based in Bangor, Northern Ireland, who believes the best wedding photos come from being unobtrusive, honest and a little bit creative. His approach is simple: bespoke, natural & unobtrusive. Rather than interrupting a moment, Ricky blends in, waits for the genuine smiles and small interactions, and captures the story of your day as it unfolds. Why choose Ricky? He pairs a creative eye with marketing-honed thinking, so every image is both visually striking and purposeful. Couples often say his relaxed, friendly manner immediately eases nerves — he’s the sort of photographer who feels like a helpful guest rather than a stranger with a camera. That relaxed atmosphere creates the candid, emotional photographs that become the most treasured images from a wedding. How he works: the process starts with a chat — often over a coffee or a phone call — to understand your vision and the kind of day you want to celebrate. In the weeks before the wedding Ricky meets with couples again to finalise plans and ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. On the wedding day his documentary-first style means fewer awkward poses and more authentic moments, but he does bring a few gentle prompts to help create relaxed group or couple shots when needed. Experience and reach: Ricky has photographed weddings across Northern Ireland and further afield, and he’s comfortable shooting intimate micro-weddings or larger celebrations. He’s used to capturing the full rhythm of a day — from quiet preparation and the little details, to the ceremony and the late-night partying — always aiming to produce images that feel timeless and true to you. What you get: a thoughtful, professional service from a specialist who cares about how your story is told. While wedding photography is Ricky’s core expertise, he also offers family and business photography as complementary services and can recommend trusted videographers if you want moving-image coverage. If you want a wedding photographer in Bangor who prioritises relaxed, documentary-style photography and a bespoke client experience, Ricky Parker is ready to listen, plan and help you relive your day through beautiful, authentic images.
