Wedding Albums in Northern Ireland
Why I love wedding albums?
Trust me, this is a BOOK you will LOVE
your LOVE story
Your wedding album is one of the only things that gets better with time.
When the day is over, your photos don’t belong on a screen — they belong in your hands.
If you’re unsure about getting a wedding album, let me show you why it matters.
Why wedding albums matter (for real)
family tales
Family photos, albums, holiday snaps… my family home was coming down with them. I LOVED looking through the photos and wedding albums.
My granny and grandad (aka Nana and Gaga) were married in the 1930’s. They were an incredible couple and oh so elegant. Isn’t this image of them just amazing!
I’m so glad it was printed – digital was ‘not a thing’. It’s an heirloom that will be passed to my children and I love that I’m going to be able to do this.
Growing up with images like this taught me the value & emotion that prints bring.
If this image was on a USB or hard drive, would my children be familiar with their great grandparents? I doubt it.
They are — and I love it.
5 reasons YOU should get a wedding album
01.
A Tangible wedding album Keepsake
touch
Anyone own a Kindle? I know plenty of people with Kindles or reading apps — BUT guess what — they still buy books.
Learning to read would have been pretty boring without books.
That feeling of your first Harry Potter novel — it never leaves you.
Kindles and iPhones may be here, but you don’t get the same emotion as holding a real book.
It’s the same with images.
Everyone loves a print.
Your wedding photos in a book is the best book you could ever create.
You can relive the wedding every day with a wedding album filled with your favourite images.
An online gallery is handy, but it’s so much nicer to move away from the screen and savour your photos in a beautiful album.
I love flicking through the pages of my mum and dad’s album (complete with tracing paper between each print)… it’s magical.

Something to SHARE (not just scroll)
coffee table
I don’t know about you, but 4–5 people around a screen is my idea of a nightmare.
I’d much rather sit at the kitchen table, cuppa in hand, and browse a beautiful wedding album.
The craic this brings is 90 — with each person noticing and enjoying a different piece of your day.
What more could you wish for!
Keep it on the coffee table, let guests leaf their way through your big day.
In time your children will enjoy it, and over the years, relive the day with countless chats over coffee.
There’s nothing like being amongst friends and reliving your best bits.
03.
Your story in one place
storybook
This story is YOUR story and its one HECK of a story.
It’s amazing, so you really should show it off.
A beautiful storybook wedding album will showcase your day from beginning to end.
From getting ready & the sneaky champagne, to getting into your dress.
Your husband at the top of the aisle, to that first kiss.
Supermodel portraits and the family photos that everyone hates but love to get.
I love a good story — so why not create a lifetime keepsake of yours.
04.
A real family HEIRLOOM
archival
Like the picture of my nana and gaga above, your wedding album could be your 1st family heirloom.
Professionally designed, curated, expertly positioned and laid out, a wedding album is a piece of art.
There is nothing I love more, than designing a wedding album. Seeing the expressions of happiness on my bride and grooms faces when they see it for the first time – its one of the most rewarding elements of my job.
Sure, you could order one from the likes of this place, but they wont come close to a professional hand made album.
Lovingly hand made, using archival paper designed to show your photos in the best way possible. The colours will look as good in 100 years time. Oozing luxury, you won’t see a nicer wedding album anywhere
05.
Perfect GIFTS for family
sharing
Gifts – smaller versions of your wedding album are the perfect pressies for family (ie your parents).
There is nothing they love more than reliving your day, so why not gift them a wedding album all to themselves. It could be a pressie for helping out with the wedding, or for Christmas, or for just being them.
When ordering your album, I give you the option of ordering duplicates at the same time, so go ahead, make your mum or dads day and give them a gift they can show off to their friends.
As a Belfast Wedding Photographer I am the best person to design and curate your wedding album.
Didn’t order an album when you got married?
That’s OK.
I also design wedding albums for couples who got married a while ago and now want something physical to hold onto.

Why I care so much about wedding albums
I love designing wedding albums.
There’s something special about seeing a full story come together — selecting images, laying out the pages, and creating something that feels like a real piece of art.
And even better — seeing couples open their album for the first time.
That reaction never gets old.
Yes, you can order cheap photo books online…
But a professionally designed, handcrafted wedding album is something completely different.
It’s designed to last — both physically and emotionally.
