[H4] Hi, how are things going?

I’m Philip Topping, A Portadown Wedding Photographer, and I like chatting a little with brides and grooms as it helps capture and personalise your day in Northern Ireland. I capture natural moments, candid and genuine emotions from bridal preparations to the first dance. Have a look at my Portadown portfolio.I’ve often photographed in local venues like Seagoe Hotel, Gracehall and Riverdale Barn. The music is playing, guests are dancing, and the DJ is amping up. The two of you are smiling, surrounded by your family. Those are the moments you will want to relive in years to come. I like to tell stories and want to reduce the stress you might feel and celebrate, Philip Topping.

Born in Craigavon, bred and raised in Portadown.

[H2] Ceremony Wedding Photography
Ceremonies can be in the Church, Chapel or in the venue. If there are plenty of people outside waiting for the bride to arrive, I make sure to capture some. Plenty of umbrellas, as you can see from the image. The groom was already waiting patiently inside. The bridal party, with the maid of honour and bridesmaids, all arrived, so I took some at the entrance. The ceremony went smoothly. I was able to walk around a bit, photographing different angles, which was great, and there was plenty of singing. The minister conducted it very well. There was a decent number of people in attendance. Also, a few photos from a ceremony in Gracehall, as the couple had the ceremony in the venue itself and a ceremony in Craigavon Civic Centre beside the lakes. Lastly, a few portfolio photos from a Belfast ceremony with a mixed-race couple.

Some bridal portraits, including mono images outside the Seagoe Hotel, Gracehall and Riverdale Barn. You need to leave some time for family and bridal portraits between the ceremony and reception. Also, a few in Belfast city, which can be quite difficult to get to due to traffic, so always allow for this.

[H2] Bridal Preparations Photos
I am often booked from bridal preparations to the first dance, and we often meet at the couple’s pre-wedding photo shoots beforehand. As this is optional, some brides aren't interested in this, so I have placed this section at the bottom of the page. A few from bridal and groom preparations in Portadown and Lurgan. Some of the family was there, including her mum. These were very casual pictures taken of the hair and make-up being applied. Very chilled out at the stage, which is great, as I enjoyed this part of the day, very relaxed. I travel up to Belfast city too.

[H3] Frequently Asked Questions

[H4] What month is best?
The summer, autumn, and spring months are best due to the weather and the higher likelihood of a good day, but if you think about it, if it’s snowing, the wintertime would be great in the right location.  If it’s raining a little, there is no reason why you still can’t take some if it’s too heavy, head to a sheltered spot.
[H4] What should you NOT do
Too many changes of clothes, one or two is fineToo many locations, stick with oneCome with a bad-tempered mood!Not picking comfortable clothing and shoesThey are a great way to get familiar with a photographer, taking your pics before your day. It’s very laid back and casual compared to your actual day, which can be quite busy and rushed. In my opinion, it’s essential. They can be traditional or can be something a bit different and more creative, reflecting both your personalities. We’ll try some poses as well as some natural and less posed ones.

[H4] How do we get pictures?
All photos are emailed as JPEGs. An optional USB is £90 extra.
[H4] What colours do we wear?
If you are going to a park or garden-type environment where there are lots of greens, then you shouldn’t wear greens, you should wear colours contrasting with the surroundings, such as blues, purples and white. Light colours are great, anything except greens would be ideal. This is because you will blend in too much with the background. If you want, bring some props, but you don’t need to.

[H2] Family and Groups Photographed, the more the better
I have been capturing lots of families in the past, and as I was booked in the home, the back garden in Armagh is a great place to celebrate and has the bonus of not being too far from your home, lol. Amanda booked me for the celebrations. We started with a few out back before heading inside the living room. It’s a special time when you can get everyone together for a group. Portraits are individual, preferably with a plain or interesting background.

[IMG: Family photos in Armagh at the back of the home as they all cheer in front of the wooden fence.]

[H4] Say Cheese :)

[H2] Events and Parties
Every town has a community centre which would be ideal for an event, get-together or party like this one. I was booked for a birthday party throughout the afternoon celebrations, where there were plenty of fun things for the guests to do.

[H3] I love Photographing in Parks and Towns
Pictures can be emailed or saved onto a USB for extra. Great for viewing on your Smart TV! Within the county, I can take your photos in any town or area.

[H2] Family Portraits in Tannaghmore Gardens
Another popular spot in Lurgan and Craigavon is Tannaghmore Gardens, as I’ve photographed a few families here. Every time is a delight, and you always find something new. I joined Caroline’s family for a family portrait session with their two daughters as we took a walk around, exploring the area.

[H4] Thanks for the Photo Shoot today
The kids had so much fun, and we were all very excited to see the Photos. :) I would recommend you. You made us all feel at ease and comfortable, Caroline.

[H2] Home Family Photos in Lurgan
I was booked for some pictures in the home in Lurgan, which included some prints, too, along with a USB. The older daughter was great to photograph with, but the younger kid was, let’s say, a little bit more challenging! We took a couple of variations within the house, so I think everyone was happy.

[IMG: Family photo in the home on the couch with parents and two kids.]

[IMG: Dad holding son with mum beside them smiling in the forest.]

[H2] Family Fun in the Forest

Charmaine’s super fun forest photoshoot in Markethill was great, with many different places to explore. Charmaine contacted me about some portraits, and we both decided here was fairly close to all of us, so it wasn't too far to travel. Hopefully, in a short space of time, many wonderful memories will be made that you can cherish for a long time.
