Paula Donnelly Photography

Hi I’m Paula, the face behind the lens, I'm a professional wedding photographer based in Trillick, Co. Tyrone. Originally from Madden, Co. Armagh, my journey into photography began in the 1990s when I moved to New York. Living and working in such a vibrant city, I immersed myself in its culture, forming lifelong friendships and discovering my true passion—capturing moments through the lens. It was there, amidst the energy and elegance of New York, that I refined my craft, learning from some of the best in the industry.

As a member of the Professional Photographers Northern Ireland (PPNI), I am dedicated to delivering exquisite imagery with a refined and timeless style. My approach to wedding photography is effortless yet sophisticated, ensuring my couples feel completely at ease in front of the camera. When you are relaxed, your natural personality shines, and that is where the magic happens. I specialise in capturing those fleeting, unscripted moments—the laughter, the emotions, the stolen glances—that make your wedding day truly unique.

While my focus is on authentic, candid storytelling, I also seamlessly manage formal group portraits with efficiency and grace. My goal is to work in harmony with you, creating a stunning collection of images that will transport you back to the joy and romance of your special day for years to come.

I look forward to being part of your journey and preserving your most treasured memories.

 Wedding Photography Style

My priority when I photograph weddings is for my couples to feel at ease in front of the camera. When people are relaxed, their natural personality shines through in the photos. So, you can expect lots of laughter, joking and fun when you work with me. I will capture those natural smiles, the laughter and the love on your special day, creating images that will instantly take you back.

While the majority of my work is capturing the candid moments you share with your loved ones, I will also cover formal groups quickly and efficiently at various stages throughout the day. When you team up with me as your wedding photographer we’ll work together in harmony to get all those winning shots to make a collection you will treasure forever.
