Nicola Kelly Photography

Hey guys. I'm Nicola and I've been shooting weddings all over the country for the past 6 years.

I genuinely love my job and have been known to get embarrassingly excited about catching that special shot. I love couples who aren't afraid to have the wind blow their hair in their face or brave the rain under an umbrella. Sometimes it's about capturing the emotion over perfection.

I don't dictate how your day goes, if you want to take photos for half an hour or for five hours, I will be on board with the banter and 'wile carry on' for as long as you choose. My style is very much easy going, relaxed, and just capturing your day exactly as it happens. I never take for granted how big a deal it is for me to be involved in your whole day, which is why I always strive to be more than just another 'wedding service' and will annoyingly try to befriend you. You will be invited for a cup of tea at some point. If you like the sound of my ramblings, give me a wee shout!

Yes Lifestyle Photography

My name is Mustafa Oymak and I have been a professional photographer for forteen years. I grew up in Turkey, from a Kurdish background, and I have lived in Derry for the past twenty one years. I named my studio after the initials of my three beautiful children: Yasmin, Emine and Zara. Yez Lifestyle Photography was established in 2003 and since then I've have had the pleasure of  photographing hundreds of weddings and portraits.

Weddings in Ireland are magical occasions, shared with family and close friends and I love to capture those moments, the special bond between bride and groom and the people they share their day with. The landscape here is full of dramatic scenery, which can add so much to the sense of occasion, and I love to make the best use of it to capture really special images of the bride and groom.

I always ensure that images are taken in a relaxed manner, bringing out the natural interactions and unguarded moments that reveal the true beauty of the bride and groom and the love they share.

My photographic style is inspired by a range of influences, including fashion photography and film. I aim for a modern, but also classic look, with warm, subtle tones and contrast, that will last a lifetime.

My wedding and portrait photography has won numerous awards. Whether it is a family group or a child, I aim to put everyone at ease, and to bring out their distinctive personality.

Jay Doherty

Hi, I'm Jay, a wedding and portrait photographer from Donegal in Ireland. I have a few cool awards under my belt, I am current PPANI wedding photographer of the year 2016, a pair of FEARLESS Awards, and various photographer awards that contain a load of letters and make no sense to you. But that nonsense aside I have always been a photographer, my father before me was too. I began my photographic business 6 years ago.

I love to shoot weddings, I love to shoot children and family moments. My style is unique, my approach is informal, fun and often verging on high-energy. My wedding clients and families mean a great deal to me, and I do realise how lucky I am in becoming such an important part of your lives, for a while anyway. I like to meet with couples, drink tea, eat fancy biscuits and get to know their stories, their loves and fears before we make any photographs. With each new assignment I will try to push our creativity levels. I am constantly seeking new photographic locations; I thrive on Donegal hilltops, golden barely fields, leave-carpeted forests, cosy Irish pubs.

I am a proud father and husband. I could not ask for more in my own wee family. We are the best team and best of friends. Our recent wedding was no doubt one of the finest experiences of my life, second only to the birth of my daughter and my son. We live in the peaceful surroundings of Inishowen in Donegal and as an outdoor family we spend our weekends around the coasts or on the road seeking adventure. I do live a simple life, but possessions-wise I cherish my Bedford 'Bambi' campervan and anything made by Polaroid. I can't resist Arthur Guinness' Porter, the occasional Black Bush and a toasty turf fire at home.
