With 13 years experience as a wedding photographer in Northern Ireland and border counties, Chris' mission is to capture the perfect blend of real wedding moments, displayed emotions & legendary parties, paired with creating fun, relaxed portraits and night-time photo magic! On a wedding day I shoot what's happening and every now and then give some painless direction to keep the photos fast and fun!
As a NI wedding photographer with experience of over 450 weddings I can switch from blending in; anticipating and catching moments to taking charge for 5 mins to quickly organise your family photos and I'll make your portraits super easy and fun for you. I'll help you know what to do with some light direction at times, and document what's happening naturally the rest of the day.

Growing up on a farm near Limavady was amazing, but I was always encouraged to pursue my own passions. With a degree in Multimedia under my belt I spent a year in Canada working as a photographer on the ski slopes and teaching kids to make videos at a summer camp.
On returning to Northern Ireland in 2006, I began to film and photograph friends' weddings whilst also shooting in a busy portrait photography studio in Belfast until 2008 when my own clients became my sole focus.I'm proud to be a member of the Professional Photographers Association of Northern Ireland.

Chris did a wonderful job as our wedding photographer, he captured the most precious moments without us even seeing him there with the camera. Everything was so natural and we were delighted with our stunning wedding album! Could not recommend Chris enough, thankyou for capturing every moment and giving us great memories to look back on!!

Chris was someone who we knew from the start we wanted to be out wedding photographer, he had taken such lovely pictures of my sisters wedding. On our day things went so smoothly and most of the time Chris just felt like a guest and melted into the background. We knew from the start we didn't want lots of posed photos as this wasn't really us. We received our photos so quickly after the wedding and have the most beautiful photo album. All additional orders for family and friends are of such high quality and again received only a day or so after we placed out order!! Would strongly recommend Chris

Earlier this year I contacted Chris asking for a studio photo shoot of my two lively boys. Chris did a fabulous job of capturing their little personalities and I am now looking at the fantastic pictures on our wall. We couldn't believe the photos he captured during the shoot and the presentation was so lovely with music and images which made it all very straightforward for choosing photos. A nice variety of choices when it came to how we wanted our pictures and arrived quickly too. I have been recommending Chris to anyone who interested in family photography. Brilliant job!

Chris is a brilliant professional photographer. He takes photos without you even realising, and at speed. On the run up to the wedding his communication is brilliant and answers any questions you have. We have a large family and getting the large family rounded up for individual photos did not phase Chris in the slightest.
Chris also keeps you right on the day which is so helpful.
The speed of seeing your photos, thank you cards and making of the album is brilliant. So many people could not believe how fast we had received our album.
I would highly recommend Chris to anyone.

Amazing wedding photographer- We could not recommend Chris enough. His communication and information in run up to the big day was very professional and informative. On the day Chris was very relaxed and warm, an absolute pleasure to have around. We received some images the following day and we had not long to wait for the rest, incredibly efficient. The pictures were absolutely amazing, the quality and variety were just beautiful. So happy we picked Chris as our photographer, we could not have asked for any better!

Chris is such a great man to have as your wedding photographer. He made us all feel at ease and a lot of the time we didn't even feel like we were posing for photos he made it fun. He had plenty of ideas for our day to make it one to remember. We also received our wedding album and thank you cards much quicker than expected! Really delighted with the outcome. Thanks for doing a good job!

Chris was very friendly and professional from our first meeting until we got our wedding album. The service provided was fantastic, he was very helpful to us all throughout the process. We could not be happier with our photos and wedding album. I would highly recommend Chris Semple Photography for any event.

Chris photographed our wedding in August and we have to say we are so pleased we booked him. The wedding photos, which we very quickly received, are truly amazing - Chris has so much talent. He was so easy to work with and was a great laugh. Highly recommended if you want a photographer who doesn't take over your whole day and lets you enjoy it with your guests. Thanks Chris.
