Linda Cunningham Photography

Linda Cunningham is a Derry-based wedding specialist who brings more than two decades of experience and a film-school eye to every wedding day. Having worked with Super 8 and Pentax in a childhood filled with cameras and trained in Film at Queen’s University, Linda’s approach has evolved into a refined documentary style: she enters each wedding day as a diligent onlooker and captures the small, unscripted moments that tell the true story of your day. Why choose Linda? Her photography is rooted in authenticity. Rather than orchestrating posed scenes, she looks for the split-second gestures — the glance, the laugh, the tear — that sum up how you felt. Linda is practical and unobtrusive, so couples enjoy their day without being pulled away for long portrait sessions. When requested, she will of course create traditional family-style photos, recognising that family photography is genealogy in the making. What makes her approach special is the blend of craft and calm. Linda’s background in film and darkroom practice informs her attention to light, composition and tone, while two decades of wedding work have given her the calm confidence to handle the unexpected. She is observant, attentive and grounded, aiming to produce images that let you relive the emotions rather than just the poses. How she works with clients is simple and personal. From initial contact through to delivery, Linda keeps communication friendly and straightforward. She’s happy to discuss locations, timing and any special moments you want documented, and she’ll quietly weave into the flow of your day to capture it honestly. Linda loves to travel and welcomes destination and elopement bookings — whether across GB or further afield — and enjoys collaborating with couples who value real moments and a relaxed atmosphere. Outside of weddings, Linda is happiest making memories with her son, practising yoga and exploring the hills. That same love of life and attention to detail is evident in every wedding gallery she produces. If you’re looking for a Derry wedding photographer who prioritises feeling over forcing moments, Linda Cunningham offers thoughtful, professional wedding photography that puts your story at the centre.
