Kelly McAllister Photography

Kelly McAllister Photography — wedding Larne If you’re looking for wedding photography that feels genuine rather than staged, you’ll likely feel at home with my approach. Based on the North Coast in Larne, I specialise in wedding photography across Northern Ireland, Belfast and further afield. My work blends a documentary eye with a quiet, soulful aesthetic: I hunt for those unscripted, in-between moments that reveal how your day truly felt, then balance them with relaxed, timeless portraits. Why choose me? After a decade of photographing couples I’ve learned that a calm, low-pressure presence makes the best pictures. My philosophy — “real is more interesting than perfect” — guides how I work: unobtrusive storytelling, a love of beautiful light, and an appetite for the mood and motion that give images life. I favour blur, grain and motion when they serve emotion, creating a soft, film-like quality that keeps your wedding photos warm, atmospheric and honest. What makes my approach special - Documentary-first: I photograph your day as it happens, prioritising authentic reactions over posed lists. The tiny gestures, stolen glances and natural laughter are where I find the most meaningful frames. - Timeless portraits: When we do pull aside for portraits, I keep things relaxed and unfussy so you can be yourselves — the result is imagery that won’t date. - Light and mood: My background with analogue film informs how I see light; I’ll place you in moments of beautiful natural light whenever possible to craft emotive images. How I work with couples From our first message to the last gallery delivery I aim to make the experience calm and friendly. I take time to understand your plans and the feeling you want from your day. On the wedding day I’m present, attentive and unobtrusive — part storyteller, part memory-keeper. I often recommend a short pre-wedding or adventure session if you want to feel more comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. A bit about me I’m travel-obsessed, dog-obsessed, and hopelessly in love with light and people. I still get butterflies before every wedding and I always leave feeling grateful to have witnessed someone’s happiest day. If you want a Larne wedding photographer who values authenticity, warmth and a little bit of cinematic mood, I’d love to hear about your plans and tell your story in photographs.
