WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS NORTHERN IRELAND
Want to get a feel for the style of our wedding photography? The best way is to explore our portfolio or dive into our wedding blog.
Our blog features real weddings we've photographed across Northern Ireland, Ireland, and occasionally further afield — France, Italy, Portugal, Iceland, Belgium, Corfu, and beyond. Every wedding you see here is a real couple on a real day. No styled shoots, no models dangling off cliffs in suspiciously perfect weather.
These posts show exactly what it's like to have Simple Tapestry as your photographers. Weddings are full of love, emotion, comedy, and chaos, and we love being right in the middle of that. Along the way you might also pick up some inspiration for your own day.
Eimear and Connor’s Ballyscullion Park wedding showed just how magical an autumn outdoor wedding in Northern Ireland can be. From a woodland ceremony beside the Palace ruins to fire-lit speeches in the walled gardens, every moment was relaxed and full of storytelling. Crisp autumn colours, cosy gatherings, and playful touches like bags of crisps made their day intimate, warm, and unforgettable.
Beth and Stephen’s wedding at Larchfield Estate was a joyful celebration full of laughter, energy, and candid moments. Keeping both ceremony and reception at the estate created a calm, connected day, while beautiful outdoor spots and cozy indoor spaces provided endless opportunities for storytelling photography.
Rebecca and Cathal’s wedding balanced calm, joy, and unforgettable storytelling. After a chapel ceremony in Glenavy, they celebrated at Antrim Castle Gardens with family and bridal party portraits, followed by a relaxed reception at The Rabbit Hotel in Templepatrick. From candid moments to laughter-filled speeches and lively dancing, their day captured the perfect mix of intimacy, fun, and photogenic beauty in every corner.
Erin and Oisin are the definition of laid-back, keeping their destination wedding at Lough Eske Castle in Donegal effortlessly relaxed. With Irish roots, Oisin was thrilled to celebrate surrounded by family and the rugged beauty of the Emerald Isle. From candid moments at the castle to a meaningful detour to an old rail bridge, their day was full of laughter, storytelling, and unforgettable memories.
Janet and Daniel’s Castle Leslie wedding perfectly combined elegance and warmth. From Janet’s effortless style to Daniel’s relaxed moments in Glaslough village, the day flowed beautifully from a chapel ceremony to celebrations across the estate. Castle Leslie’s grand yet homely grounds provided endless opportunities for storytelling photography, capturing both intimate moments and the grandeur of their surroundings.
Catherine and Peter’s wedding at Clonabreany House in County Meath was filled with music, laughter, and great company. Travelling from Tyrone, they made the most of the day with a first look and pre-ceremony portraits, while trad tunes from family and friends set the tone. Rain arrived just after the ceremony, but the celebrations continued with music from Cool Hand String Band and a bridal party that kept everything running smoothly. With relaxed morning prep at Tom Blake House and Fennor Lodge, it was a laid-back, joyful day from start to finish.
Susie and Aaron’s wedding at Larchfield Estate showcased everything that makes this Northern Ireland venue so special: the sunken garden for a stunning outdoor ceremony, versatile locations across the estate, and a calm, stress-free day from start to finish. From woodland paths to the lake, their relaxed wedding was full of candid moments and storytelling, perfectly captured in every frame.
Holly and Daisy’s relaxed Belfast wedding combined the elegance of an Ulster Museum ceremony with the historic charm of a White’s Tavern reception. From portraits in Botanic Gardens to intimate moments at their reception, their day was full of candid photography, storytelling, and unforgettable memories in the heart of the city.
Becky and Raymond’s wedding was one of those days that felt like a proper celebration from start to finish—full of laughter, warmth, and great people. We’d met them before through Becky’s sister’s wedding, so we had a feeling it was going to be a good one.
Clandeboye Lodge was the perfect setting—everything in one place, no stress, and surrounded by those rich autumn colours that make photos pop. It’s one of our favourite venues for keeping things relaxed while still looking class.
As the sun went down, we took a moment for some after-dark portraits. Becky and Raymond were total pros, holding their nerve while we played around with some creative light. The result? A few quiet photos to balance out a brilliant, high-energy day.
Malone House doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it really should. Set in Lagan Valley Regional Park, it feels like a classic country house venue—without the long drive. Emma and Manuel’s October wedding made the most of it, with golden light, soft autumn colours, and one of the loveliest couples we’ve worked with.
After their ceremony at St. Nicholas Church on the Lisburn Road, they had a mini reception (with the bridal party serving the guests—legends), before heading just a few minutes up the road to Malone House. Tucked beside Shaw’s Bridge and the forest park, it’s one of the most photogenic spots in Belfast, especially when the autumn sun shows up. A gorgeous day from start to finish.
Eliza and David’s Bellinter House wedding was pure autumn magic—though you’d never guess it was October with that sunshine. These two brought serious style, the warmest vibes, and made time for a few relaxed portrait sessions (including some with their very well-behaved dog, Charlie). Bellinter always delivers, and this day was no exception.
Mary-Kate and Conor’s wedding had all the right ingredients—a beautiful ceremony in Moneyglass, a warm and stylish reception at Limepark, and two people who didn’t stop smiling all day. Limepark always brings a relaxed, welcoming vibe with plenty of charm for portraits. Add in a great crowd and you’ve got a day that just felt effortless from start to finish.
Rachel and Eoghain’s autumn wedding at The Carriage Rooms at Montalto was effortlessly cool and full of personal touches—starting with Rachel’s unreal floral-embroidered veil and Converse. The golden leaves and soft light made the perfect setting for a ceremony in one of the dreamiest rooms in the country.
Catherine and Andrew’s wedding at The Merchant Hotel in Belfast was proof that doing things your own way always wins. With a small, emotional ceremony, handmade rings, and a relaxed wander through Cathedral Quarter, their day was effortless, personal, and full of meaning. No fuss—just good vibes, great people, and a perfect rooftop finish.
This wedding at Ballymagarvey Village was pure energy from start to finish. From Danny’s jaw-dropping acrobatics to an impromptu rave on the piano, the party never stopped. The bridesmaids’ speech was a highlight—equal parts heartfelt and hilarious. If you want a relaxed, all-in-one wedding venue in Ireland where the good times flow naturally, Ballymagarvey is the perfect choice.
Amy and Lee’s wedding started in Carrickmore, outside Omagh, and wrapped up at the always-beautiful Castle Leslie Estate. Stylish, laid-back, and full of personality, the day had a real sense of ease. One of the standouts? Their friends—an absolute dream to photograph and such a big part of what made the atmosphere so good. Weddings like this, where the people make the day, are always our favourites.
Elopements in Belfast always feel special—but Hattie and Alex’s intimate day at the Titanic Hotel was something else. Swapping vows in the elegant Thomas Andrews Room, they brought all the heart without the fuss. Afterward, we wandered the Titanic Quarter for relaxed portraits and easy conversation. For couples dreaming of a small wedding in Belfast, this historic venue is a perfect choice.
Weddings at the Titanic Hotel Belfast never disappoint—especially in the stunning Drawing Room with its high ceilings, natural light, and timeless style. Ceara and David’s wedding day was full of laughs, love, and a healthy dose of Tyrone vs. Belfast craic. With photo backdrops just steps from the historic Titanic slipway, this was a relaxed, unforgettable celebration in one of Belfast’s best wedding venues.
When Hana and Michael brought 90 friends and family across the ocean to Castle Leslie, they didn’t just host a wedding—they threw the ultimate celebration. From golden-hour portraits to that Prosecco bath moment, every detail reflected their joyful spirit.
Aisling and Giorgio’s Dublin wedding was pure magic—a heartfelt blend of Irish warmth and Italian passion, from the emotional ceremony to pub pitstops. Wandering through Dublin Castle with these two felt less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with friends.
