Northern ireland Wedding Photographer

Relaxed | MODERN | JOYFUL

I’m Iain Irwin


And this is my beautiful wife, Erin and our son Isaiah. We’ve been together since we were 15, and have been happily married for over 6 years. That day was the best day of my life. I got to marry my best friend and be surrounded by the people who mean everything to me. I’m a big believer in marriage and the love that it celebrates!

With over 8 years experinece in the industry, I’m often asked why I photograph weddings and the answer is simple. There is no better experience. Where else are you surrounded by love, beauty, happiness and joy every time you go to work? I get to play a small part in the best day of your life.

why work with me?

PROFESSIONALISM

I understand the trust it takes to invite someone into your most intimate moments and family environments on such a special occasion. That’s why your wedding day will be documented with care, respect, and precision. You can focus on the celebrations, knowing that your memories will be quietly documented by a trusted expert.

Risk Free

While Instagram is a great way to see highlights, it doesn’t always show the full story. That’s why I encourage all couples to view full wedding galleries before deciding to book. You can also check out my Google reviews and read the kind words from countless couples over the years.

Stress Free

More than just a photographer, I like to see myself as a wedding planning expert! Over the years, I’ve created countless helpful resources, planning guides, and tips that I’ll share with you in the lead-up to your wedding. My goal is to reduce any stress, ease your worries, and help ensure you and your guests have the most incredible celebration imaginable.

Experience

I’ve been capturing weddings in Northern Ireland for over eight years, starting this journey at just 21 years old. With more than 300 weddings documented—and counting—I’ve seen it all. So whatever worries you have, don’t panic! Chances are, I’ve already experienced it and have the answers ready to put your mind at ease.

Wedding Packages

Weddings begin from £1890.

My weddings include a digital gallery, printing rights, and start at 8 hours of photography coverage plus more.

Kind Words


“We have spoken about how calming your presence was on the day (we needed that!)”

“Thank you so so much. We LOVE the photos! We are incredibly grateful that we were able to have you as our photographer. I can’t believe how natural we look, and how well you have captured both big and small moments so elegantly. We have spoken about how calming your presence was on the day (we needed that!), how professional you are, and how fantastic your photography is. We cannot thank you enough for capturing our special day. 

We are so grateful. You’re the best, and we will 100% recommend you to anyone having a Northern Irish (or Norwegian) wedding.”

SILJE & JONAS

“He was professional but also personal, kind, full of patience and invested in our journey.”

“When it came to choosing our wedding photographer, we had heard only good things about Iain Irwin from our friends so there really was no question about it – and we couldn’t be more thankful about this.

Iain is such a genuine guy and we knew right from the start that he wanted us to have the most amazing wedding day with amazing photos to capture it. From the engagement shoot to the communication leading up to the day to the day itself, he was professional but also personal, kind, full of patience and invested in our journey. So many of our family members commented on how quick and stress free the photos were and how chilled “our lovely photographer” was. He keeps the day moving, helps keep the nerves down and will just be subtly doing his thing.

We couldn’t be more over the moon with our photos and we cannot recommend Iain enough.”

I absolutely adore working with laid-back, fun, loving couples who trust me wholeheartedly. When you put your full trust in me, it allows me to work my best and capture the true essence of your special day.

I understand how important it is to secure your desired date. So, if you’re considering booking me for your wedding, it’s best to get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment as I tend to book up quickly each year. Alternatively, if you’re flexible with your wedding date, we can discuss choosing a date that aligns with my availability.

Simply enquire via the contact form on my website filling in as much information as possible. Please avoid enquiring via social media or a separate email, as it’s easy for messages to get missed amidst the busyness of weddings and family life.

Also, enquire with lots of information! I hope to work with couples who love my style and are able to get more out of me than I thought possible! In order for this to happen I need learn about you, your story and the plans and dreams you have for your wedding day.

Once you’ve enquired you should typically receive a response within 2 working days. Rest assured that I reply to every enquiry. If you haven’t received a response, please check your junk folder and feel free to reach out again, as there’s a chance your enquiry may not have gone through due to a technical error.

Once you’ve made the decision to book, simply send me an email with your chosen package. I’ll send you a link to my booking form, which includes all the necessary information. Once the contract is signed and the retainer is paid, your date is officially secured!

To secure your wedding date, I kindly request a retainer payment at the time of booking. The remaining balance can be settled in full up to 4 weeks prior to your wedding day. This gives you ample time to manage the final payment and ensures a smooth and stress-free experience.

Absolutely! I understand that choosing your wedding photographer is a big decision, and it’s important that we’re the right fit. Once you’ve enquired, you can book a quick 30-minute video call with me via my Calendly link. During the call, we’ll chat, I’ll answer any questions you have, and you’ll get to know me and my approach to weddings. There’s absolutely no pressure to book after the call—I actually recommend it to everyone as a way to make the planning process a little easier and ensure you feel confident moving forward.

THE BEST WEDDING VENUES IN NORTHERN IRELAND

why i became a wedding photographer in Northern Ireland

Quite simply, Northern Ireland is home. I grew up on a farm between Tandragee and Portadown, just below Lough Neagh. My childhood was spent outdoors—running through the fields, working outdoors helping my granda, and making the most of the long summer days with trips across the country with family and friends.

Living here means I’m never far from something incredible—whether it’s the beauty of White Rocks beach on the North Coast, the charm of Belfast City, or the breathtaking views of the Mourne Mountains.

But it’s the little things that make it so special: going for a ‘famous’ chippy in Annalong, the “magic hill” off Spelga Dam, or treating yourself to an ice cream on the way home in Rathfriland. And, of course, the fact that nearly everyone and their brother has appeared as an extra in Game of Thrones at some point! (Yes, I have too!)

It’s the kind of place that stays with you, no matter where you go. The landscapes, the people, and those small, uniquely Northern Irish moments are what make this place so special—and why I’m proud to call it home.
