Wedding Photographer and Videographer Northern Ireland
Philip Topping is a Wedding Photographer and Videographer in Northern Ireland, Portadown, natural and relaxed. I can be booked for either or both solo, meaning as one person.
Wedding Photographer Northern Ireland
I capture natural, relaxed photos and tell a story. I care about giving you great memories to remind you of one of the best days of both your lives, as everyone comes together. Established in 2015, I offer a deluxe luxury service in the Craigavon area and beyond.
Craigavon encompasses Portadown and Lurgan, as well as smaller villages and towns like Richill, Tandragee, Gilford and Laurelvale. There are some great locations to photograph yours, as I have lived in the town my whole life and love it here, but then I would say that, lol.
✔ 10+ YEARS EXPERIENCE TELLING YOUR STORY
Portadown, County Armagh, has a lot to offer couples for a ceremony in great churches like St Mark’s Church of Ireland, located at the top of High Street, Armagh Road Presbyterian Church, Thomas Street Methodist Church or chapels like St Patrick’s Catholic Church, William Street. At this stage.
There are some fantastic places for photos, including Seagoe Hotel, Gracehall and Armagh City Hotel. Some great locations, including Tannaghmore Gardens, Palace Demesne and Public Park.
I don’t just work in Craigavon; I capture your photos all over Northern Ireland. Established in the industry 10 years ago, I only take on a limited number of projects each year, so check with me ASAP if I’m available. I offer a photography service that covers the entire country, blending natural, candid photos with posed images. If you want ideas and inspiration for traditional, please look through some of my past photoshoots. Traditional is much more natural and candid than staged and posed. I can do both.
As the day is quite busy with lots of things going on and some pretty tight timeframes, it can be hectic. As well as the formal-type photos, I can also get some creative pictures with certain angles and poses throughout the day. I like adding some creativity, even though it doesn’t always work out.
A couple is never the same, and I believe your photographs should reflect that, so I take an approach to find out what’s important to you. When I arrive on your day, I know what you want and how to capture it, and you can sit back with me by your side. It should be all about telling your story. Photography has several names, including photojournalism, documentary, and reportage. I don’t believe there are any differences between the three apart from what bridal magazines see as the way to describe storytelling. There are many styles, including artistic, fine art, vintage, modern, contemporary and candid.

Telling the Story of Your Day with Authentic, Fun, Candid Moments
Capturing memories since 2015
Please browse through my slideshow for the ceremonies and receptions. I tell your story through photos and images from your day, which capture emotions, tears of joy, and laughter. Capturing these precious moments is essential to storytelling, and you can check out a full gallery by viewing the blogs. I do this with my camera, so I am not always organising photos. Sometimes, it’s good to stay in the background and photograph moments. These are the things you miss on the day, and you will love these in the years to come. A professional like me will pick these up and embrace them. Also, for pre-weddings, you can check my website for ideas and inspiration. Have a look at my YouTube playlist.
About Philip Topping
I like chatting with brides and grooms as it helps capture and personalise your day, giving you memories that you will cherish forever. On your big day, the music is playing, guests are dancing, and the DJ is amping up, the groom pulls his bride into the middle of the dance floor. The two of you are smiling, surrounded by your closest friends.
Those are the moments people want to relive in 10 years. They’re also the moments I've been photographing since 2015. I like to tell stories and want to genuinely make you feel comfortable, reduce the stress you might feel and celebrate both of you. Don’t worry; I have your photographs covered.

Wedding Videographer
You can book me separately for the whole or part of the day as a Wedding Videographer in Northern Ireland. I produce professional films and videos, and you receive all the footage, as well as a highlights film. See pricing. I offer a luxury service and established this part of my business in 2019, so I have over 6 years of professional experience. I only take on a limited number of clients each year, so please check with me ASAP to see if I’m available on your preferred date.
Visit Philips YouTube Channel
I cover a range of natural and candid videos, and if you want ideas and inspiration for a traditional or cinematic video, look through some of my past work on my YouTube channel. Here you can watch behind the scenes (BTS), highlights and full video footage usually filmed with my B camera.
Wedding Photography and Video Hybrid Package
How much do both photos and videos cost? If you can’t find what you are looking for, contact me. Visit separate pricing for photos, or separate pricing for video, where you will find much more information. The below needs a bit of planning as I physically can’t take photos and video at the same time, but I can be booked for one or the other.

Photographer and Videographer
What’s the difference between the two?
Photography is moments and still images captured and freeze-framed. This includes family and bridal pictures that you should cherish for a long, long time.
On the other hand, video is filming what’s going on in front of the camera, so there is far less setting up and posing, as it just wouldn’t look right.
Book a solo wedding photographer and videographer like me, and then you don’t need a two-person team, and one person can cover both, but this needs some pre-planning.
Areas I serve
I serve lots of areas and locations within NI and further afield in Ireland, along the border counties. I am based in Craigavon and County Armagh, but work in the major cities like Belfast, Derry / Londonderry and Newry as well as towns like Armagh, Enniskillen, Lisburn, Newtownabbey and Newtownards.
