Northern Ireland Couple's Photoshoot at the Dark Hedges, Giant's Causeway and White Rocks Beach

If you are looking for a photographer in Northern Ireland and would like to explore the Causeway Coast with them while taking stunning photos, you're in the right place.

Today's couple, Kate & Gus, travelled from the USA to Ireland and wanted to visit iconic Northern Irish locations and take their engagement photos. We visited the Dark Hedges, Giant's Causeway, Dunseveric Castle and White Rocks beach. The photoshoot took approximately 4 hours with sightseeing, photos, and driving there and back from Belfast.

I collected them from their Belfast hotel at 6 am, and an hour later, we started our photoshoot at the Dark Hedges. It's best to arrive there as early as possible to avoid crowds and have beautiful scenery, just for yourself. The first photoshoot didn't take long, we finished after 20 min, and we could head to another location.

The second location of our engagement photos in Northern Ireland took us to Dunseveric Castle. We took photographs at the castle viewpoint and then hiked up past the ruins. There's a stunning coastline view of the cliffs and sea, and it's one of my favourite locations to take couples visiting North Coast of Ireland.

Next, we headed to Giant's Causeway to explore an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns - the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption.

The couple was travelling to Ireland with the bride's parents. They all received some fantastic photos from their holidays and had a blast on their private mini-tour of the Causeway Coast.

The last stop on our itinerary was at the White Rocks beach. It was such a beautiful, clear day and the photos look stunning. The reflection of the clouds in the shallow water looks like the couple is walking in the clouds! We had an absolute blast! It was wonderful to meet Kate & Gus and their family.

If you are looking for a photographer on the North Coast of Northern Ireland, don't hesitate to get in touch. All shoots can be customised, and I'd love to capture your love and help you create memories in our beautiful wee country.

North Coast Elopement at Kinbane Castle, Limepark Arts & Cottages Wedding - Molly & Lu

Elopements in Northern Ireland are increasingly popular in opposite to traditional big weddings, especially among couples travelling to Ireland, but also for local ones, who really want to have an intimate, different wedding. You’re guaranteed vows in the breathtaking scenery and fabulous memories of a lifetime adventure. Elopements have overall better flexibility, budgeting options and of course, it’s just utterly romantic and special to roam around the greenery, hills and read your private vows in a faraway land. To elope or not is your call, one choice isn’t inherently better than the other; it’s an intensely personal decision. Molly & Lu, today’s couple chose both - romantic Irish elopement and a big party on the ‘Paper Day’ back at home. I’m always glad couples stay true to themselves and trust me in photographing (and taking video!) on such a big moment of their life.

The morning prep took place at Limepark Arts & Cottages, where we did first look and took some photos with a local mini horse Tothem (yes, we did call him Lil Sebastian all day! who wouldn’t :D). Molly & Lu exchanged the vows at Kinbane Castle, then we head out for a pint to Portrush and finished the day off with a run into the Celtic Sea. It was a perfect day in every way.
