Every couple deserves photographs that feel like them. We are Tommy and Laurene, a husband and wife team, and we photograph LGBTQ weddings and elopements across Northern Ireland in the same relaxed, documentary way we photograph every couple.
We live in a world that rightly celebrates love in all its forms. LGBTQ weddings have taken centre stage in Northern Ireland, with our beautiful wedding venues and vibrant communities, and couples travel from all around the world to get married here.
A wedding is not complete without memories to cherish forever, and that is where we come in. As same sex wedding photographers in Belfast and across Northern Ireland, we capture love stories that break stereotypes and warm our hearts in the most natural way. We believe every love story deserves to be told and preserved, with timeless photographs that reflect the joy and connection you share on your day.
For LGBTQ couples, choosing the right wedding photographer is about more than finding someone with a good camera. It is about finding an ally who understands and respects your journey. We believe an LGBTQ wedding photographer must be inclusive in their approach, so that every couple, whatever their identity, feels celebrated on their wedding day.
As wedding photographers we aim to balance our artistic vision with sensitivity to what each couple needs and prefers. Being an LGBTQ wedding photographer in Northern Ireland is not just a profession. It is a commitment to celebrating love and diversity, and to telling stories that break stereotypes and capture what makes every union unique.
So if you are planning your LGBTQ wedding in Northern Ireland, remember that your love story deserves to be told and cherished forever.
We have always treated every one of our couples the same, whatever their religion, culture or background, and we do exactly the same for couples who choose us to photograph their same sex wedding. Nobody should have to wonder whether their photographer is comfortable at their wedding.
LGBTQ weddings show the power of love. Regardless of gender or sexual orientation, love unites hearts, and these weddings can celebrate love winning over adversity and discrimination. It is always a privilege to document them. You can read more about our approach.
We love to capture the real moments shared between our couples on their wedding day. We take a very relaxed approach to every wedding we photograph, so if you are looking for a traditional, posed style of wedding photographer, we may not be the best choice for you.
We prefer to work as a dedicated husband and wife team. This lets us blend our individual skills and draw on two points of view at every wedding, which helps us capture the special moments of your day in a more meaningful way. Find out more about us.
Have a look through our extensive real weddings gallery to get a feel for how we work. You will find a diverse selection of photos from Northern Ireland's most popular wedding venues. Once you feel we could be a great fit, you can choose from one of our four wedding photography packages, with half day and full day coverage plus options for storybook wedding albums and engagement sessions. When you have found the one that suits you, get in touch to confirm our availability for your date.
A few of the couples we have had the joy of photographing. Open their stories to see the full day.
They planned their day in a very short space of time and wanted it relaxed and intimate, with plenty of time for family and friends. They fell for the rustic feel of The Stillhouse, and their ceremony and reception both took place there.

They chose the rustic, industrial Wool Tower for their humanist ceremony and reception. They got ready with close friends, kept their dresses a surprise until the ceremony, and were not bothered by the rain.

They celebrated with family and friends at Millbrook Lodge, with a humanist ceremony that included a handfasting. The rain moved the ceremony indoors, and it was full of giggles and emotion all the same.

Same sex marriage has been legal in Northern Ireland since January 2020. Many of the couples we photograph choose a humanist ceremony, and civil ceremonies are just as popular. Speak to your local council registrar early about giving notice, and check the current rules and fees with them before you book anything.
Tell us your venue and your date and we will let you know if we are free. If you are still choosing a venue, these are places we know well, and we are always happy to share what works for photographs.
