Christine McIlroy Photography

I’m Christine — a Lisburn-based wedding photographer who specialises in natural, relaxed and romantic wedding photography. Since 2016 I’ve loved being part of wedding days across Northern Ireland, the UK and beyond, capturing the drama, joy and personality that make each celebration unique. Why choose me? I’m passionate about creating photos that feel like your day rather than a staged version of it. My approach blends gentle, conversational direction with a documentary eye: I look for the real moments between the posed ones — the laughter, the quiet looks, the tiny details you might miss in the moment but will treasure for years. Couples often tell me they chose me because I make them feel comfortable and at ease, and that relaxed atmosphere shows up in images that are candid, emotive and full of life. How I work with couples is simple and personal. Before your wedding we’ll meet for a chat or a coffee so I can get to know you both and understand what matters most on your day. That helps me plan how to be present without being intrusive. On the wedding day I move with the flow — capturing the main moments, guiding you gently for portraits, and staying alert for spontaneous, heartfelt interactions. I aim to keep things fun and calm so your photos reflect your relationship and the real emotions of the day. My style favours natural light, soulful moments and a mix of timeless portraits and storytelling images. Whether you’re planning a large celebration, an intimate elopement or an adventurous ceremony on the coast or in the Mournes, I’ll tailor my approach to suit your day and the locations you love. I also shoot engagement and proposal sessions when couples want to capture another chapter of their story — a relaxed shoot is a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. If you’d like wedding photos that feel joyful, honest and beautifully framed, let’s meet and talk about your plans. I’d love to hear your story and help you capture the moments you’ll look back on for a lifetime.
