Planning a castle wedding at another venue? I'd love to hear about your plans.
From our first conversation to getting your photos back, everything's relaxed and easy with no stress, just genuine support every step of the way.
"Andrew instantly put me at ease and made it such a fun, natural experience. So many guests commented on how brilliant he was. Genuinely one of the best additions to our wedding."— Shauna M Get in Touch
You want your wedding day to feel easy and real, not like a photoshoot. You care about laughter and connection over perfect poses. You love honest photos full of warmth and heart.
Get in TouchIf you're a laid-back couple who prefer a more informal approach to photography and are happy to go with the flow, even if that means getting a little wet — then absolutely, yes! Some of our best work comes from couples who trust us to capture their day naturally. We pride ourselves on our relaxed, unobtrusive style and love to interact with guests, family, and friends.
We work efficiently so you're never kept away from the celebrations for long. Grab a beer or a glass of bubbly, enjoy your day, and let us do the rest — that's when we capture you at your best.
For me, it's all about capturing you and your loved ones in genuine, natural moments — laughter, smiles, and those in-between moments that become the most treasured memories.
While I take group shots and portraits, I love the spontaneous, unplanned parts of the day. I know many couples can feel awkward in front of the camera, so I do my best to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Sometimes we'll take a quiet walk together and I'll capture those calm, intimate moments that feel completely you.
My style is modern, natural, and relaxed — and I work hard to ensure no moment is missed.
Yes! Andrew McKenna Photography is fully insured with Public Liability and Professional Indemnity coverage.
Yes, a £100 non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your date. This amount is deducted from your total balance. The remaining balance is due one week before your wedding.
Yes, you can. However, the £100 deposit is non-refundable after 14 days. Any additional payments made will be refunded according to the contract terms.
Unfortunately, no. Dates are booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Your date is confirmed once the booking fee is paid.
I live, work, and play in Newcastle, County Down — where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea 🌊.
That's entirely up to you! For Full Day Coverage, we're there from morning preparations right through to your meal or the start of the dancing.
Only for Full Day Packages! We work long hours and usually skip lunch to capture everything, so a simple bar meal is perfect. We're both big foodies and really appreciate it!
Absolutely! We keep group shots short and simple so you can get back to enjoying your day. Our focus is always on capturing natural, candid moments.
For a Full Day Package, you'll typically receive at least 600 photos — often more — with two photographers covering your day.
Your fully edited gallery is usually ready within 8–12 weeks after your wedding. During busy months (May–September), it may take a little longer.
You'll receive a link to your private online gallery, hosted via Pic-Time. From there, you can download, share, and order prints or albums — all watermark-free. No hidden costs.
Travel within Northern Ireland is included. For weddings in the Republic of Ireland or mainland UK, a small travel fee may apply — we'll confirm during your consultation and always keep it minimal.
Both Andrew and Matt will photograph your wedding. If Matt is unavailable, we have a network of trusted assistants through PPANI ready to step in. In the unlikely event I can't attend, another PPANI member will cover your day so you're always in good hands.
We accept bank transfer, Revolut, or good old-fashioned cash.
If you'd like to know more, please don't hesitate to get in touch — we'd love to chat about your wedding plans!
