Emma and Natalie met me at the beautiful Galgorm Resort in Ballymena for their engagement shoot. We began indoors as it was raining. Come on! This is Northern Ireland and rain is good luck!

Let me start by saying this: you are not expected to know how to design a wedding album. That’s my job.

I’ve explained this process hundreds of times over email, WhatsApp, and Messenger, so it made sense to finally put it all in one place — with examples — so you can enjoy choosing your album instead of dreading it.

One thing I’ve learned over the years is this: the longer you leave choosing your album photos, the harder it becomes. When you’re still buzzing from the wedding, everything feels easier. Months later, it suddenly feels impossible. It’s procrastination — sometimes the easiest tasks feel like a mission the longer you leave them.

We’re back at the fab Redcastle Hotel (one of my all-time favourite venues) for today’s real wedding story — Rikita & Jordan’s gorgeous Limavady wedding.

After a brilliant engagement shoot with these two, I was seriously looking forward to their big day, and it did not disappoint.

My day kicked off with Jordan at his home outside Coleraine. We started out in the yard with a mix of machinery and cars, capturing Jordan and the lads in their everyday clothes — a bit of bonus coverage before the usual groom prep. Jordan was an absolute star from start to finish. When the groom is fully up for it, my job becomes very easy.

Inside the house, I spotted a gorgeous mirror that I simply had to use. As I lined up a few reflection shots of Jordan, along came pageboy Caiden, who completely stole the show by casually photobombing his dad and looking up at him. Unreal. Proof once again that the best moments are always the unplanned ones.

Orlágh & Jordan’s Amazing Wedding At Lough Erne Resort Enniskillen.

Orlágh and her mum first found me at a wedding show a couple of years ago. It was a quiet one - my stand was beside a closed bar - so I may have snuck over back and forward to watch the United match (just to get my steps in). I spotted Orlágh and her mum from the bar, dashed over to say hello, and that evening an email landed to meet her groom-to-be, Jordan. A great result all round… and United won too which felt like a good omen.

On my blog today, I’m over the moon to share Aoife and Micheal’s romantic engagement shoot at Roe Valley Country Park in Limavady.
