Nikki Johnston
Wedding Photographer
Belfast
Based
Photographer
I photograph weddings as they happen, the genuine moments, the belly laughs, the happy tears and all the chaos in between!
My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive with no pressure to pose (unless you’re into that!). I feel the beauty of weddings lies less in the perfectly curated shots and more in the candid and authentic moments with the ones you love most.
I’ll spend time getting to know you beforehand so I understand exactly what your vision and vibe is for the day - creating memories that don’t just show how your wedding looked, but remind you exactly how it felt, even 30 years from now.
“We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone”
Testimonials
‘We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Nikki for our wedding at Bangor Castle. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease, and that calm, friendly energy stayed with us throughout the whole day.
Nikki captured everything so naturally! The big moments, the laughter, and all the little in-between details that made the day so special. She has an incredible eye for light and setting, and she made the most of the beautiful surroundings of Bangor Castle to create the most stunning photos.
What we loved most was how relaxed she made the experience. Neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but she guided us effortlessly and somehow made it feel fun and easy. The final gallery completely blew us away - every image feels authentic, joyful, and full of love.
If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about capturing your story, we can’t recommend Nikki highly enough. She gave us memories we will treasure forever 🤍’

‘I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Nikki to be my wedding photographer,
from start to finish, she was an absolute dream to work with. She was calm, organised and fun to be around, which instantly put me at ease. She asked me exactly what photos I wanted and carried them out perfectly, and captured the most beautiful candid moments that I’ll treasure forever.
She was so kind, so friendly, and such a calming presence on the day — she helped with my nerves more than she probably realises. I truly couldn’t recommend her more & i am obsessed with every photo.’
- Aimee & Shane
‘Nikki was amazing for our wedding. We didn’t want much, a small wedding of 14 people and a dinner with family, no big dance, no DJ, no abundance of flowers, it was perfect for us but I wasn’t sure what kind of photographer could appreciate the magic in the extreme simplicity. Nikki made it special, she caught exactly the moments our wedding was about, she saw the magic and created more magic. My wedding photos are perfect.
I was also 6.5 months pregnant at the time of the wedding and this was something I was concerned about because I really didn’t want the pregnancy to be centre to the day. Nikki found the perfect balance of photos embracing the pregnancy and photos that focused on the wedding. She can take any task and make it perfect even when it seems impossible. Also she was the best craic to have at a small wedding and such a welcome guest.
Thank you so much Nikki for your hard work, dedication, craftsmanship, laughs and brilliant talent at your career. I couldn’t have wished for anyone better to be there with us on our day.’
- Anna & Nathan
‘We were absolutely delighted with Nikki as our wedding photographer. From the moment she arrived, she brought such calm, positive energy and a patience that was definitely needed for capturing our day perfectly. Her attention to detail was incredible and she noticed the little moments we never would have thought to ask for. Nikki went above and beyond throughout the whole day, whether it was helping organise people for group shots, finding the perfect light, or quietly capturing the candid moments. We both love looking through our photos and looking back on our special day which was captured so well by Nikki.
We couldn’t be happier with the results and are so grateful for everything she did. We’d highly recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a photographer as you will get someone who genuinely cares about making your photos reflect what means the most to you.’
- Adam & Rachael
‘Nikki did our engagement shoot in 2023 and they’re some of our favourite photos to this day. She was professional but also very personable and likeable putting us instantly at ease. We shot on a beautiful beach which Nikki recommended and she kept an eye on weather to make sure it would be just right.
Nikki had all sorts of ideas and guided us to get the perfect pictures bearing in mind our comfort levels. She managed to capture not only beautiful scenery and the right poses but the excitement we were feeling and the joy in the air that day.
With Nikki you just don’t just get a talented photographer you get someone passionate and personable who will make the experience all the more enjoyable for her presence. 10/10 would recommend Nikki!’
