Meet your photographeR,Niamh Smith
A Storyteller of Love, a Seeker of Beauty, and an Artist Inspired by People, Light, and Emotion.
I live in Dublin with my husband, James. Trained in Art, Graphic Design, and both Digital and Analogue Film Photography, I recently completed a Master’s in Fine Art Photography at Belfast School of Art. As a hybrid photographer, I approach weddings with the same artistry and care as my fine art work, creating timeless, authentic images full of emotion and meaning.
My work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including the National Gallery of Ireland, Crawford Gallery, the Royal Ulster Academy, Photo Museum Ireland, Haus am Kleistpark (Berlin), the Kuala Lumpur International Photo Awards, and the Pingyao International Photography Festival (China).
Before pursuing my Master’s in Fine Art Photography, I spent over 18 years as a Creative Lead and Design Director across various companies and agencies. Photography has always been a constant in my life, woven into everything I do. I first discovered my love for film photography during my Graphic Design studies, spending countless hours in the darkroom—an experience that shaped the way I see light, composition, and story.
My fine art training allows me to approach wedding photography as a visual narrative—a way to tell the story of your day with intention and depth. My style is timeless and refined, inspired by traditional values and the old masters, yet shaped by the natural light and enchanting landscapes of Ireland. People inspire me, the human experience moves me, and our green shores provide the stage upon which your story unfolds.
A Wedding Philosophy
Crafting wedding photography that is timeless, elegant, and effortlessly refined. Every detail, every fleeting moment, is captured with care, revealing the intimacy, joy, and sophistication that make your day truly unique and authentic.
Guided by natural light, each image is artfully composed, free from trends or heavy editing, resulting in a collection of enduring, meaningful memories that reflect your love in its purest form.
