RELAXED & NATURAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
The best wedding photos happen when nobody's thinking about the camera. We're Brideen and Deci, a husband-and-wife wedding photography team based in Belfast with over 15 years experience.
We photograph weddings across Northern Ireland and Ireland, always as a two-photographer team, specialising in relaxed, candid, documentary-style wedding photography for couples who want fuss-free wedding photos.
CANDID WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Every wedding is unique. We blend in, watch it unfold, and photograph it as it really happens - using light and composition in creative ways to capture the emotion and humour that make each day its own.
We’ve photographed everything from intimate Belfast elopements to big weddings in castles with the same relaxed, documentary approach. If you like genuine moments and a bit of craic more than awkward poses or too much formality, get in touch.
REAL WEDDINGS, REAL PEOPLE, REAL MOMENTS
Everything you see on our blog and portfolio comes from real weddings. No styled shoots or hired models, no elaborate setups with rented dresses. No waiting for the perfect weather. Just couples, families, and friends being their beautiful, brilliant selves.
We don't chase trends or filters that'll date in a year. We care about vibrant colour, clean edits, and photographs that'll still feel like you decades from now.
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.
