Ballymoney Photographer | Stress-Free Family Photoshoots — No Drama, No Tears, Just Memories to Last a Lifetime
Based in Ballymoney on the Causeway Coast, I’m a family and wedding photographer with 15+ years’ experience capturing real, relaxed moments for families across Ballymoney, Coleraine, Portrush and the wider North Coast.
No stiff posing, no stress — just your family being yourselves
Meet Eddy
I’m Eddy — a family and wedding photographer based on the Causeway Coast, capturing real moments rather than posed ones. Fifteen years in, I still love the same thing that started it all: the laugh you didn’t ask for, the hand your toddler won’t let go of, the look between two people who’ve just said “I do.”
No stiff line-ups, no forced smiles — just honest, natural photography that feels like you.
How a session actually works
Booking a photographer you've never met is a bit of a leap, so here's exactly what happens from the first message to the photographs going up on your wall. No hard sell, no surprise costs, and no all-day production.
Send me a message with a rough idea of who's coming and when suits. I'll come back with availability, what each session includes and what it costs — in writing, before you commit to anything.
Beach, forest, your own back garden, or the house you're about to move out of. I'll suggest locations near you that work well at the time of year and time of day we're shooting, and we'll build the session around the kids' best hour, not mine.
Around an hour, mostly spent walking, messing about and letting the kids lead. I'll nudge you into good light and step back. If someone has a meltdown, we take five — it happens at nearly every shoot and it never ruins the photos.
Your edited gallery arrives within two weeks, private and easy to share with family. From there you can choose prints, albums and framed wall art, or keep it to the digitals. Entirely up to you.
Do you ever feel like the family is just growing up too fast?

Photographing Kids is one of the finest parts of this career, they bring so much fun & energy to any shoot. I’ve never met a kid who doesn’t love to have fun & torment their parents.
Capturing the unique personalities and playful spirit of pets allows me to create timeless keepsakes that celebrate the unconditional love they bring to a family. I cherish turning those fleeting, joyful moments—from tail wags to soulful gazes—into beautiful wall art that pet parents can treasure forever

It’s Your Story, Let me tell it…
As a Ballymoney photographer, I specialise in capturing the most cherished moments of your family's life — from newborn portraits to grandparent-grandchild photos. Working from my base in Ballymoney, I help families across the Causeway Coast create lasting memories that will be cherished for generations to come.
I believe that every family has a unique story to tell, and I want to help you immortalize that story in a way that is both visually stunning and emotionally meaningful. I take the time to get to know each of my clients so that I can understand their individual needs and preferences. This allows me to create portraits that are truly reflective of your family’s personality and character.
I also believe that family photography should be a fun and relaxed experience. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera so that you can focus on enjoying your time with your loved ones. I will work with you to choose the perfect location and pose for your portraits, and I will take the time to capture all of the candid moments that make your family special.
If you are looking for a family photographer who can capture the true essence of your family, I would be honoured to work with you. Contact me today to learn more about my services and to schedule a consultation.
Central to every family portrait session lies the narrative of the family itself. Every family has a distinct story, and I relish the opportunity to intimately understand each client, delving into their individual narratives. Whether it’s the inaugural family portrait or another in a series of annual captures, I hold the belief that every session presents a chance to craft something both visually stunning and profoundly meaningful.
What enamours me about family portrait photography is the chance to create enduring treasures destined to be cherished across generations. Investing in a family portrait session isn’t just about the present; it’s an investment in lasting memories. These photographs evolve into hallowed family heirlooms, carrying their significance through time, and passed down with pride from one generation to the next.
My approach to family portrait photography centres on creating a relaxed, enjoyable, and stress-free experience for my valued clients. Comfort and ease are paramount, which is why I invest time in acquainting myself with your family dynamics. My artistry captures the spontaneous candour of unguarded moments and the poise of more composed portraits, both serving to illuminate your family’s distinctive character.
