David Cavan Photography

I’m David Cavan, a Coleraine-based wedding photographer dedicated to capturing the real, unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. My approach centres on documentary-led wedding photography: I watch for emotion, light and detail, stepping in to create beautiful portraits when the moment calls for it but otherwise staying unobtrusive so your day unfolds naturally. The result is a collection of wedding photos that feel honest, timeless and unmistakably yours. Why choose me for your wedding in Coleraine or the surrounding area? I blend a storyteller’s eye with a calm, low-key presence. Couples tell me they appreciate how relaxed I am on the day — I focus on building a rapport in advance and during the celebrations so you feel comfortable, even if you’re not used to being photographed. That relaxed atmosphere leads to authentic expressions and candid moments that stand apart from posed, formulaic wedding images. Engagement photography is a natural complement to my wedding work. An engagement session gives us a chance to get to know one another, try a few poses, and create a relaxed gallery of images you’ll love before the big day. It’s also a practical way to feel confident in front of the camera and to establish the tone for your wedding photography — candid, affectionate, and true to you. My working process is collaborative and straightforward: we start with a conversation about your day, priorities and any formal group shots you want, then I refine an unobtrusive plan that fits your timeline. On the wedding day I balance reportage coverage with thoughtful portrait work, paying attention to light, composition and the small details that shape your story. After the wedding, I carefully edit and present your photographs so the sequence reads like the day itself — from nervous prep to first dance. If you’re planning a wedding in Coleraine and want professional wedding photos that focus on emotion, atmosphere and honest storytelling, let’s talk. I specialise in wedding and engagement photography and bring a personal, dependable approach to every celebration I photograph.
