Wedding Portrait and Event Photography

Wedding Photography

My partner Tracy and I work together to bring our clients quality, value and timeless memories in Wedding Photography. With a relaxed reportage style we will tell the story of your big day how you want it told. You can build your own fully customised Wedding Photography Package from Ceremony Only right up to Full Day Photography. Your most memorable moments will be captured as they unfold and digitally preserved forever. You can then choose from our range of beautiful hand crafted Photo Storybooks or luxurious Apertura Albums. The choice is yours and the pleasure is always ours!

Portrait Photography

I can’t help it. I have a passion for portrait photography! I think it comes from my time as a freelancer for the local papers when I was driving around the country meeting new people and shooting their portrait all day long. There are many elements to consider when shooting a portrait, not least is capturing not just the subject’s physical likeness but also the person’s character, mood and personality. Whether it be on location, indoors or out, or in the studio I also love to craft the light in a way that is appropriate to the individual.

Event Photography

Event Photography is something that I seem to have developed a flair for! I have shot many full day golf events, other sports events and prize givings. Also family events including communion and parties, and social events such as corporate charity gala’s. I can produce prints there and then at the event or provide an online gallery or both.

Testimonials

“Lionel is a complete gentleman. He was able to create a great relaxed atmosphere during the shoot, yet at the same time was full of ideas and opinions. His manor and magic with the camera speak volumes for both his knowledge of photography and his professionalism. I highly recommend him and his work and will definitely be working with him again in the future.”

Thanks Stephen! Much appreciated. It was a great shoot. Hope to see you again soon.

“Great photos! Great photographer!“

Thanks Conleth. It was great working with you. We must do it again sometime.

Conleth is a local born singer, songwriter, stage and television performer who helped me out with my Final Major project back in 2017. Of course he got a bunch of images for his trouble and has used some of them in UK and Ireland national newspaper articles. He kindly left his review for me on Yell.

As it so happens I’m working on some more Environmental Photography at the time of writing.

“Lionel attended one of our Star Wars events in Lisburn City Centre to take pictures of the characters. The pictures were absolutely fantastic, and really showed our characters off brilliantly!! Great eye for a good photo, would highly recommend!!”

Thank you Stuart, that’s brilliant. The Star Wars characters are great. I’m sure there is so much more we could do!
