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?
THE KIDS SEEM TO GET OLDER EVERY TIME YOU TURN AROUND

Fun, natural kids’ sessions in and around Ballymoney — no forced smiles required.
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
Why families book me
Every session is run by me, start to finish — the planning email, the shoot, the editing and the prints. You deal with one person who knows your family's name.

It’s Your Story, Let me tell it…
From newborn cuddles to milestone anniversaries with grandparents, I specialise in capturing the moments that matter most. Based right here in Ballymoney, I help families across the Causeway Coast create lasting memories you'll be proud to hang on your walls.
Every family has a unique dynamic, and that’s exactly what I want to capture. Whether this is your very first professional photoshoot or a yearly tradition, my goal is to create something visually stunning and deeply personal to you. I take the time to get to know you, ensuring the final gallery truly reflects your family's true personality and character.
We’ll work together to choose the perfect location—whether that’s exploring a favourite spot along the North Coast or staying cozy in your own home. The right backdrop elevates your photos and gives your kids the space to just be themselves, while I discreetly capture the laughs, the smiles, and the fleeting, unscripted moments in between.
I don't just want to take a quick photo; I want to create genuine family heirlooms. These sessions aren't just for today—they are an investment in memories that will be passed down and cherished by your kids and grandkids.
Let's create a visual legacy of your family's bond. If you're looking for a local photographer to capture the real magic of your family, I'd love to help you plan your session
