Soul & Rise is a Carrickfergus wedding specialist capturing authentic, emotion-led photography and engagement portraits. Natural, storytelling images that reflect your day.
Soul & Rise is a dedicated wedding photographer based in Carrickfergus, focused on capturing the true spirit of your wedding day. We specialize in wedding and engagement photography, creating images that feel genuine, timeless and full of emotion. Our approach is rooted in storytelling: we look for the small, unscripted moments—the laughter, the quiet looks, the spontaneous celebrations—that together tell the story of your relationship and your day. Why choose Soul & Rise? Because we treat every wedding as an individual story. Rather than a catalogue of posed shots, we combine thoughtful direction with an unobtrusive, documentary eye. This balance helps couples feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, resulting in photographs that reflect who you really are. We work with natural light where possible and favour compositions that put emotion and connection at the centre of each frame. Our process begins with listening. We take time to understand your plans, priorities and personality—whether you want a relaxed elopement on the coast, a traditional church ceremony, or a lively celebration with family and friends. On the day we move quietly through the moments, gently guiding when needed but always putting authentic interaction first. After the wedding, we carefully curate and edit your photos to preserve the mood and memory of the day, delivering a cohesive collection of images you’ll return to for years. Engagement sessions are available as part of our wedding offering and are a great way to get comfortable with being photographed before the big day. While wedding photography is our main focus, we also offer cinematic video as a complementary service to enhance your memories—always positioned as an add-on to our photography work rather than our core speciality. Based in Carrickfergus, Soul & Rise brings a calm, confident presence to weddings across the region. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer who values authenticity, warmth and storytelling, Soul & Rise crafts professional wedding photos that reflect the heart of your celebration.
