Not every wedding needs a photographer there from morning until night.
**Short & Sweet** gives you two hours of relaxed, natural wedding photography and is perfect for smaller or more intimate weddings, second time around celebrations, or simply couples who only want the most important part of their day captured.
It is also a lovely option if you are working with a smaller photography budget but know that having an experienced photographer you genuinely trust matters to you.
We can plan your two hours around the part of the day that matters most, whether that is your ceremony, family photographs and some relaxed portraits together, or another little slice of your wedding entirely.
You will receive a sneaky peek from your wedding within the first week, followed by your fully edited gallery with every final image provided in both colour and black and white.
Every photograph in your final gallery is personally selected and edited by me. I don’t use AI to decide which moments from your wedding make the final cut. I go through your images myself, choosing the expressions, interactions and little in between moments that help tell the story of your day, before individually editing your final selection in my own style.
Your gallery is securely hosted online for one year, with unlimited downloads for you, your family and friends, so everyone can enjoy the photographs without having to order or request individual copies. After the first year, you can choose to keep your gallery online for just £30 per year, giving you the reassurance that your photographs remain safely stored and easy to access.
Travel within a 40 mile radius of BT40 1HL is included.
Want a little more breathing room without booking photography for most of the day?
The Highlights gives you three hours with me, making it ideal for smaller weddings, second time around celebrations and couples who want the important moments beautifully documented without needing full day coverage.
That extra hour gives us more flexibility to capture not only the moments you know you want, but also more of the people, atmosphere and little unscripted moments happening around them.
We will plan the coverage around your wedding and your priorities, rather than trying to squeeze your day into a standard photography timeline.

Your photographs will be securely hosted in an online gallery for one year, with unlimited downloads for you, your family and friends. If you would like to keep your gallery live after the first year, you can renew it for just £30 per year, keeping your photographs safely stored, easily accessible and always to hand.

For couples who want the story of their wedding day captured naturally, without feeling as though the photography has taken over the day.
**The Signature** is my main wedding photography package, with coverage beginning with preparations (at one location) and continuing through your ceremony and all those brilliant little moments in between, right through to dinner call.
My approach is relaxed, natural and people focused. I will gently guide you when you need me to, help keep things running smoothly and make sure we get the photographs that matter, but I also want you to have plenty of time to actually enjoy your wedding with the people you invited to share it with you.
Alongside the photographs you expect, it is often the things you did not see happening that become some of the favourites. The reactions, hugs, laughter, characters and little moments unfolding around you while you are busy getting married.

Travel anywhere within Northern Ireland is included.
And if you would like me to stay beyond dinner call to capture the evening celebrations and dancing, additional coverage can be added to your package.
Not quite ready for me to leave at dinner call?
Add **Evening Coverage** to your Signature package and I’ll stay to capture a little more of the celebration, including some of my favourite photographs to create.
After dinner, we’ll head out for a few relaxed portraits together. This is also when I get to have a little fun with off camera flash, creating those dramatic, backlit evening portraits you may already have spotted in my portfolio.
It’s a completely different look and feel from your photographs earlier in the day and a lovely way to add something a little more epic to your gallery, without taking you away from your guests for ages.
I’ll then stay to capture your first dance and those brilliant first few dances afterwards, when everyone piles onto the dance floor and the party properly gets underway.
Perfect if you want the atmosphere of the evening, those signature night portraits and the start of the party captured, without needing photography right through until the end of the night.
For my local venues I have a discounted rate as I can nip home while you're eating dinner - Ballygally Castle, Hillmount House & Magheramorne Estate

A little practice before the big day, without it actually feeling like practice.
An **Engagement Session** is a relaxed photoshoot before your wedding and a brilliant opportunity for us to spend some time together before I arrive with my cameras on the day itself.
It is particularly lovely for couples who feel awkward in front of the camera, hate having their photograph taken or are already wondering what on earth they are supposed to do with their hands!
There is no pressure to perform or spend an hour posing. We’ll chat, walk, have a laugh and I’ll gently guide you when you need it, while giving you a feel for exactly how I work.
By the time your wedding comes around, I’m already a familiar face, you know what to expect from me and hopefully the thought of your couple portraits feels a lot less daunting.
And, of course, you’ll also come away with a gorgeous set of relaxed photographs of the two of you during a pretty special chapter of your lives.
Every photograph in your final gallery is personally selected and edited by me. I don’t use AI to decide which moments from your photoshoot make the final cut.

What if the person telling your story through your photographs could also be the person telling your story during your ceremony?
You can add my **Wedding Celebrant service** to your photography package, giving you one person looking after two incredibly important parts of your wedding day.
As your celebrant, I take time to really get to know you both and create a completely bespoke ceremony, written from scratch around you, your personalities and your story. That naturally creates an even deeper connection between us before the wedding, which carries beautifully into your photography too. By the time the day arrives, you are definitely not meeting a stranger with a camera.
Wedding planning can feel overwhelming enough without having to find, get to know and coordinate dozens of different suppliers. Booking me for both means one familiar person, one established relationship and someone who already understands you, your plans and what matters to you. Your photography and celebrant services are still handled separately with their own contracts and invoices, so everything remains clear and straightforward.
And no, I haven't yet mastered being in two places at once!
A second professional photographer will cover the latter part of your preparations and photograph your ceremony while I am busy with the small matter of actually marrying you. Once the ceremony is complete, I take over the photography again and continue documenting your day as normal.
It gives you the best of both worlds: a personal, meaningful & legal ceremony created by someone who genuinely knows you, alongside the relaxed, natural wedding photography you booked me for in the first place.

March 28, 2026 at 8:51 amMyself and my husband attended the Wedding Fair at Brownlow House and met Caroline and her partner Gary. We got chatting and knew instantly we wanted Caroline as our Wedding Photographer. We stated we were getting married in The Dunadry and Caroline actually had an album from another wedding she done at Dunadry with her at the Wedding Fair. Caroline is the nicest, down to earth person you will meet and her attention to detail with her photos is second to none. We were absolutely delighted with our Photos and the Wedding Album is to die for! If you are looking a down to earth, super friendly and fits in with your family Photographer then Caroline is the one! Thank you for everything, love the Monroe’s

March 28, 2026 at 9:30 amI’ve followed Caroline’s work for years and always admired her work. It’s flawless. I’d always known of Caroline through her work. But we met by chance at a bridal fair in 2023. My now husband and I got talking to Caroline and do we all love to talk lol. That day set everything in motion for our wedding and booked Caroline there and then. Fast forward to September 6th 2024 our wedding day. Caroline was fantastic. She kept everything moving and on time because as a bride you lose all concept of time. Caroline fixed my dress for photos and even fixed my necklace a few times before someone had the bright idea to stick it down with eyelash glue lol. We’ve now got our photos back and I don’t even think there is enough words to convey how beautiful and how natural they all are. Caroline captured us for who we are. A fun loving couple who loves a good laugh. We had the best day with the best people and Caroline’s photos of us say just that. During our ceremony I didnt even see Caroline nor did I see a camera or the click of a camera. And I only realised this while looking at our photos. Caroline is an amazing photographer and also an amazing person. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you a million times for the best experience and the most beautiful photos ❤️❤️

March 28, 2026 at 9:56 amCaroline Smyth is an excellent photographer. I have known her now since 2018 when she did my first daughter’s newborn photoshoot. It was a “no brainer” who we would choose as our Wedding Photographer 6 years later.
Caroline is brilliant to get along with, very easy going and directs you with ease for the perfect photograph.
Before our wedding photoshoot, we met up with Caroline in her beautiful studio and we discussed the photos and proceedings of the day. There were things discussed that we hadnt even thought of but, Caroline and her many years of experience photographing weddings, gave us plenty of ideas and she happily filled in details that we had missed/hadnt thought of.
She also let my 2 year old make her way through her biscuit jar so that we had peace to discuss the wedding!!
Caroline arrived at the venue exactly when she said she would be there and got straight to it.
She was a pleasure to work with, great craic and gave simple directions for the best photographs. Her attention to detail was brilliant. From reminding the men to take stuff out of their pockets, to fixing peoples hairs, to finding sheltered yet suitable locations for photographs out of the wind, to keeping everyone’s postures correct etc and loads of other wee things that I wasnt expecting but was very grateful for.
She also had a boot full of things that we were also very grateful for! For example, plasters and sunglasses!
The cookies that she gifted us were absolutely delish and again unexpected but came in handy at 1am when we were starving!
Every fine detail was photographed and I couldnt be happier with my photos.
It took less than 3 months for me to have all my photos. This lady is a machine and is so dedicated to her work.
I’m not sure what our next big function will be, but I am sure who I will choose to be our photographer.

March 28, 2026 at 10:19 amJust received our wedding photos and what can I say…. we are beyond happy that we chose Caroline for our wedding photography! So friendly, professional, and the photographs are AMAZING. So many people have commented on what a great job she did at capturing the joy of our special day. There was attention to detail, making sure we got exactly what WE wanted and that suited us. She was also excellent at coordinating our guests for the group shots – no easy task!
We honestly had a 10/10 day with her, and our beautiful photos will be treasured forever.
Thank you Caroline!
Roisin and George xx

March 28, 2026 at 10:26 amWe used Caroline for our wedding in November. Honestly cannot recommend her enough!! She is so lovely, professional, funny and just brilliant. Weddings can be so stressful but Caroline was so easy and pleasant to deal with. She kept us in the loop the whole time and the photographs have turned out amazingly! Couldn’t be happier and worth every penny and more!!
If anyone is looking for a photographer- look no further than Caroline, you won’t regret it!!

March 28, 2026 at 10:29 amWe used Caroline for our wedding in July and she was amazing! From the minute we met a year before for a chat, our engagement shoot with our fur baby, the pre wedding consultation and on the big day itself she was great and the photos are out of this world!! Hubby and I are not huge into having our photo taken and Caroline makes you feel so comfortable, very natural and captures great shots when we are being ourselves! Very quick turn round too on getting photo and album and was always available for the many questions I had 🙈! Everyone has complimented us on our amazing photos! Would definitely recommend!!

March 28, 2026 at 10:32 amFrom the moment I first met Caroline I knew I had Made the right choice in picking our wedding photographer. Caroline is friendly, welcoming and very professional. I was impressed with all the little details she had already considered in helping to plan our day. Caroline had already planned for every scenario on the big day and it gave me great reassurance that we would be in very capable hands. Caroline also took the time to get to know us personally and as a result our wedding photographs felt like they were being taken by a friend and this really put us at ease on the big day. Our original wedding date was cancelled because of covid 19. This was obviously a stressful time and upsetting time, but Caroline was great and really helpful. She reminded us that it wasn’t a particular day or month that mattered, but being able to get married and the love we have for each other. Caroline accommodated our date change with ease which was one less thing to worry about. Two weeks before our wedding in October, the country went into lockdown again! We were forced to cancel our plans all over again,find a new venue and scale everything way back. Caroline was a calming influence and and we are very grateful for her!
When the big day finally came, Caroline was amazing. So calm and patient and friendly with all my family which included so many children reluctant to have their photos taken! Caroline is amazing with children and she takes time to find out what toys or things they like to put them at ease! Once our photos arrived they were better then we could have ever hoped! I love Caroline’s style of photography. She really captures your story and you can see her talent, skills and her eye for details. I’m sorry if this is too long, but I can’t speak highly enough of Caroline. If you need someone to photograph your wedding, or newborn baby or any occasion..you won’t be disappointed with her! 5/5 is not enough…tops marks!
