Friends and Lovers Films

Friends and Lovers Films is a Craigavon-based wedding specialist dedicated to documenting real love stories with an alternative, heartfelt approach. Founded by Harry Bateman, the brand grew from a simple belief: the best wedding images and films tell a story, not just a sequence of posed shots. If your priority is genuine emotion, playful moments and timeless imagery, Friends and Lovers is built to deliver. Why choose Friends and Lovers for your wedding in Craigavon or elsewhere in the UK? Harry brings a storyteller’s eye to every wedding — blending candid documentary moments with carefully considered frames so each photograph and film feels personal and curated. The style is deliberately different: relaxed, emotive and a little alternative, with attention given to light, atmosphere and the small human details that make a day unique. That sensibility is what has led to features in wedding magazines and many happy couples recommending his work. How Harry works with couples is as important as what he produces. From an initial chat through to the finished gallery and film, the approach is warm, collaborative and unobtrusive. Harry aims to put people at ease — whether you’re camera-shy or full of energy — so your personalities come through naturally. He’s happy to travel for your story, and treats every wedding with the same care: giving each photo and frame the time and attention it deserves so your memories stand the test of time. While wedding photography is the core focus, Friends and Lovers also creates emotive wedding films and offers engagement and couple shoots to complement your wedding visuals. These secondary services are approached with the same storytelling mindset: simple, sincere and centred on the couple. If you’re planning a Craigavon wedding and want professional images and a film that reflect who you are — not just what your day looked like — Friends and Lovers Films offers a considered, modern take on wedding photography.

Much love, Harry Bateman
