Can I ask you all for a BIG favour please? ❤️📸

I’m absolutely buzzing to say that Mark Barnes Photography has once again been nominated for Wedding Photographer of the Year at the 2026 Wedding Help Awards! 🏆

So, if you’ve got a spare wee minute, I’d be absolutely delighted if you could throw a vote my way!

👉 https://weddinghelpni.com/award/vote/photographers/

Also don't forget to drop a vote in for my incredible wife Danielle at Tie the Knot NI - Humanist Wedding Celebrant Danielle Barnes under the Celebrant category to.

I’ve been incredibly lucky to win this award for the last two years, so I’d absolutely LOVE to make it a hat trick! 🏆🏆🏆 And what makes this one extra special is that this year I also photographed my 1,000th wedding! 🤯📸

I genuinely can’t thank all of my amazing couples enough for trusting me to capture such an important part of your lives and for all the recommendations, reviews and support over the years. 😀

Thank you all so much!
Mark ❤

I feel like Andrew here… when I received this wonderful review this evening from the amazing Bronwyn ❤️ thank you guys 😀

I’m very privileged to work with so many amazing couples, families and get to do what I love for a living, thanks to you all 👏
————————————
There aren’t really any words to describe how amazing Mark was as our photographer. It’s obvious that Mark has a natural talent for creativity and capturing stunning shots wherever the location. I feel that his photography stands out from any others on the market and this has been agreed on by our family and friends who have attended many weddings and have seen many styles of photography.

If you choose Mark, not only will you be guaranteed exceptional photography, but you are guaranteed to laugh the entire time. Mark has a natural warmth and is one of these people who can get on with anyone. Mark has a way of bringing out the extrovert in even the most introverted people and making them feel totally at ease in front of the camera.

I would also like to mention that we have a daughter with additional needs who we were so worried about leading up to the day. We wanted to make sure we captured memories of her but knew she would not tolerate a photo shoot. Mark had a great way with her and was able to capture some gorgeous natural shots of her and even managed some pictures of her with us all. I am so glad to have these and I know no one else would have had the patience and understanding that Mark had to enable them to capture the photos the way he did.

Mark will be your biggest hype man! His relaxed attitude will ensure even the most anxious bride and groom feel relaxed and at ease. Mark may as well have been our wedding planner as he kept us right with timings etc too. We are so glad that we were fortunate enough to secure a booking with Mark and if you book him too, you really won’t be disappointed.

Thank you once again for the kind words, you’ve no idea how much I value them and appreciate it ❤️

Golden hour done properly ☀️

Nicole and James snuck away for 10 minutes after dinner and it was worth every second. If you’re lucky enough to get a sunset like this, it’s the best 10 minutes you’ll spend all day ❤️

A wee breather together, no crowds, no pressure, just unreal light and a few photos you’ll never regret 😀

Beech Hill Country House absolutely showing off. ✨

On a personal note, this one was pretty special too. Nicole and James’ wedding was my 1000th wedding, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a lovelier couple or a more incredible sunset to mark such a massive milestone. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the day so special 👏

Nicole is hands down one of my favourite girls to spray she will always want the darkest tan 🤪

Every single time she steps into my tent we have the best laughs. Thank you for always trusting me with your tan!

I still can’t believe we didn’t go for the Ultra dark for the wedding! 🤪

You made the most stunning bride, and I can’t wait to have you back in the cabin for your next spray tan!

These gorgeous photos were captured by the incredibly talented Mark • Wedding Photographer Northern Ireland his work never disappoints! 📸

One of the hottest days of the year, one of my favourite venues and one seriously good day! ☀️

Beth and Oliver tied the knot in the stunning gardens at The Carriage Rooms, Montalto Estate, with my amazing wife Danielle (Tie the Knot NI - Humanist Wedding Celebrant // Danielle Barnes) leading the ceremony and my good mate Ian Higginson (Northern Ireland Wedding Videos / Ian Higginson Media) by my side capturing it all on film.

Beth also managed to keep one of the best surprises of the day from Oliver. Their gorgeous dog Sid made a surprise appearance and it couldn’t have gone any better ❤️

It was also really special to be back with the Neely family. I photographed Beth’s brother Matt’s wedding a few years ago, so being trusted again to capture another huge family day means a lot. Those are the bookings I’ll never take for granted. Absolute legends the lot of them 🔥

I absolutely love shooting weddings at Montalto. Everything flows, the grounds are unreal, and it’s the perfect place to capture loads of natural moments without ever feeling rushed 👏

If you’re planning an outdoor wedding, this is exactly why couples fall in love with Ballyness Resort. 🤍

Megan and Daryl couldn’t have asked for a better day. Blue skies, an incredible outdoor ceremony and the best craic from morning right through to the dance floor 🔥

I’m always buzzing to be back at Ballyness Resort. It’s a venue I’m genuinely proud to be recommended for, and every wedding here is just a wee bit special 👏

Here’s 11 of my favourite moments from an absolutely class day with such an incredible couple. ❤️

Sarah-Ashley and Gary… what a pair. ❤️

They picked one of my favourite venues, the incredible Limepark in Armoy, and it couldn’t have suited them better. Nothing forced, nothing staged, just loads of laughs and the two of them enjoying every second together.

Then there was Louie… 🐾 Looking the part in his little tux and completely stealing the limelight when he rocked in. I think it’s safe to say he thought the day was all about him… and to be fair, he wasn’t far wrong! 😂

I’ve also been lucky enough to photograph Sarah- Ashley’s sister Louise and brother Scott’s weddings over the years, so being trusted by this amazing family once again genuinely means a lot. Days like these remind me why I love what I do ❤️🔥

One passing bus in the pouring rain. One split second.
One photograph we’ll all remember.

Worth every second! We had such a memorable afternoon around Belfast City Centre with the best of craic with an amazing couple and bridal party 👏
