Holly and Lime Photography

Holly and Lime Photography are Derry-based wedding specialists who approach each wedding like a story worth telling — honest, colourful and with a bit of craic. We position ourselves as unobtrusive guests: lovers of documentary wedding photography who also enjoy creating a handful of beautiful, fine-art portraits when the moment calls for it. If you’d rather live your day than perform for it, we’re the kind of photographers who’ll let you do exactly that. Why choose us? Because we understand weddings aren’t meant to be long photoshoots. Most of our couples tell us they’re not fans of being in front of the camera — we get it. Our aim is to keep portrait time short, relaxed and enjoyable: when the time is right we’ll steal you away for a wee bit of alone time, have a bit of craic and make some great images without making you cringe. Our work sits between documentary storytelling and painterly, colour-rich portraiture inspired by photographers and work we love, so you get both the atmosphere of the day and the portraits you’ll treasure. How we work: from first enquiry we take a friendly, practical approach. We’ll chat through your plans, offer vendor tips if you want them, and get a good feel for the flow of your day. On the wedding day we blend in — shooting the moments you live and the details you may miss. We capture connections, laughter and the proper, unscripted bits of a wedding: the nervous smiles, the messy hugs, the wild dancing. When it’s portrait time, we keep it simple, quick and a bit playful so you can get back to your mates. Our editing and delivery reflect the same care we put into shooting: thoughtful colour, attention to mood and an emphasis on images that feel like you. Based in Derry, Northern Ireland, we photograph weddings across Ireland and further afield — always searching for sound couples who want authentic wedding photography without the fuss. We also offer lifestyle family sessions as an occasional additional service, but our core focus and expertise is wedding photography and engagement/bridal moments. If you want professional wedding photos that capture the real atmosphere, the artful portraits and the joyful craic of your day, let’s have a natter and see if we’re a match.
