Derry-based wedding specialist capturing authentic, emotive moments across your wedding day. Lisa blends a calm, documentary approach with considered portraiture for timeless photos.
As a specialist wedding photographer based in Derry, I focus on capturing the real moments that make each wedding unique. My approach is personal and unobtrusive: I aim to be part of the day without getting in the way, watching for genuine emotion, subtle details and the unscripted interactions that tell the story of your celebration. Why choose me? I believe strong wedding photography comes from connection — with the couple, the family and the feel of the day. I work to build that connection from our first conversation so you feel relaxed and confident on camera. That trust allows me to capture natural, emotive photographs that stand the test of time: quiet looks, spontaneous laughter, and the small gestures that often become the most treasured images. My style combines a documentary, story-led sensibility with thoughtful portrait moments. Throughout the day I prioritise authenticity, using a gentle, observational presence to record candid scenes, then guiding brief, relaxed portraits that complement the candid work. The result is a balanced gallery of images that reflect both the atmosphere of your wedding and the character of your relationship. How I work: I start with a friendly, no-pressure chat to understand what matters most to you — the moments you want preserved, the people who matter, and the flow of your day. On the wedding day I focus on ease and openness, staying calm under pressure and adapting to light and location to make the most of every moment. I also offer engagement sessions for couples who want a relaxed practice shoot before the big day; these sessions help build rapport and make portraits feel more natural on the wedding morning. Rooted in Derry, my work is informed by a respect for place and people. I’m driven by a simple passion: to create wedding photographs that feel honest, intimate and enduring. If you’re looking for a specialist wedding photographer who values connection, calm professionalism and beautifully observed storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans and how we can preserve them in images.
