DONAL
Moments spill from a life lived. The time I fell off the bike with my brother and needed stitches. The love and loss of a mother and father. The first kiss in a game of spin the bottle. The disappointment at failed exams. The achievement of passing them and going on to a marketing degree at University in Edinburgh. The year studying and making friends in Sweden. Buying my first house in Belfast. Moving to London and working in the sky (28 floors up in the Gherkin).
Taking my first photography course and finding my passion for capturing life better. The invitation to shoot a wedding in Australia, and the moment on Tom and Lorelie's wedding day that I decided I wanted to be a photographer for the rest of my life. Falling in love, marrying my soulmate and meeting my daughter Sophie for the first time!
With over a decade of experience, I am an internationally travelled destination wedding photographer who calls Derry~Londonderry home.
I have named as one of the top wedding photographers in the UK by Photo Professional Magazine and have been published by some of the industry's top publications including Brides, Getting Married In Northern Ireland, Wedding Journal and many more.
