Lisa McGrath Photography

Hi, I’m Lisa — a wedding photographer based in Derry with a deep love for storytelling, timeless moments and a little bit of 80s nostalgia. My soul mission is simple: to make you happy and to document your real-life, important moments — from the high emotion of the wedding day to the intimate glow of your engagement session. I specialise in wedding photography, bringing an editorial, romantic and creative eye to every celebration I shoot. Why choose me? I blend documentary instinct with a refined, editorial sensibility so your gallery feels both honest and beautifully composed. I look for the small, unscripted moments — the tear tucked behind a laugh, the quiet exchange in a crowded room — and I also craft elegant couple portraits that feel modern, timeless and slightly cinematic. My photographs aim to be both emotive and enduring: images you’ll want on your walls and in the hands of future generations. My approach is relaxed and conversational. I know weddings can be emotional and a bit overwhelming, so I’m there to guide you gently, calm nerves, and create an atmosphere where you can be yourselves. From a quick pre-wedding chat to showing you favourite spots for photos on the day, I like to build a friendly relationship with every couple so the images feel natural and personal. Engagement sessions are a favourite of mine — they’re a lovely warm-up that helps you feel at ease in front of the camera and gives us a chance to create beautiful photos together before your big day. I’m proud to photograph weddings across Derry, Donegal and wider Northern Ireland. Local knowledge helps — I love scouting light-filled corners, dramatic coastal backdrops and hidden gardens that suit your style. Above all, my promise is to treat your wedding with care and creativity, delivering professional, emotive wedding photos that reflect the heart of your day. If you want a photographer who combines warmth, artistry and a relaxed editorial style, let’s chat. Tell me your story, your favourite song, and what makes your day uniquely you — I can’t wait to help you capture it.
