“Vicki’s style of photography is so candid and natural, allowing us plenty of time to relax, be present and enjoy the day that we had put so much time and energy into planning. She put us and our guests at ease, everybody loved her! Booking Vicki for our wedding was absolutely one of the best decisions we made - probably only second to actually choosing each other!”

About

Hello! I’m Vicki, the photographer behind Vicki Maher Photography. I’m all about capturing the real moments that make your wedding day yours—the laughter, the hugs, the dance-offs, and everything in between. I love my job so very much and will never forget how much of a privilege it is to be a wedding photographer, being there for those special little moments that no one else sees. Photography is the best job in the world.

I realised very quickly that 99.9% of my couples do not feel comfortable in front of a camera, so I ensure my approach keeps this in mind. Let’s be honest, everyone wants photos, but no one wants to be in them.

I am aware that even if you decide I am ‘the one’… after your significant other of course, you don’t want to spend your entire day with me. I make sure that your couples photos take up minimal time and are just a bit of craic. That is what gets those dreamy, natural shots that lured you here after all.

Family photos are the same, I like to do what I call conveyor belt style, one in, one out and get them done as quick as possible so the party can resume.

I know that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, but that doesn’t mean it needs to be stressful or overly posed. I work with couples who want to have fun, enjoy the moment, and focus on what really matters: each other and your guests. My goal is to be a fly on the wall, blending in and capturing those candid, unscripted moments that show off the fun and relaxed vibe of your big day… Lurking I believe is the professional term.

I am based in Belfast but travel worldwide. I’ve been lucky enough to work with many laidback couples just like you who want to focus on enjoying their day to the fullest. I take a laidback approach to photography, helping you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera while still capturing all the love, joy, and celebration around you.

If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will blend into the background, make you feel at ease, and deliver photos that you’ll look at and pure love yourself forever, I’d love to hear from you.

Also, I like Guinness….travelling etc. You know, the usual.

“From the moment I saw Vicki's Instagram, I knew I needed her as our photographer, and she has completely exceeded our expectations. As two people who hate having their photos taken (and as someone who hates everyone photo taken of them), we were pretty nervous. However, Vicki immediately put us at ease with her friendly, funny, yet professional approach.”
