Professional Wedding & Portrait Photography Northern Ireland
Established in 2009, Sara Dalzell Photography has become a trusted name in capturing life's most precious moments across Northern Ireland and the UK. With a Photography Degree from Liverpool and nearly 16 years of experience, I specialise in wedding, newborn, family, and portrait photography. My contemporary studio in Markethill, Co. Armagh, provides a relaxed environment for sessions, complemented by outdoor locations like Gosford Forest Park and Glenanne Forest. As a mother of three, I understand how to engage with families and newborns to create authentic, emotional imagery. My approach combines documentary-style storytelling with carefully posed portraits, ensuring every milestonewhether a wedding, newborn session, or family gatheringis preserved with warmth and creativity.I travel extensively for weddings and offer flexible options including at-home newborn sessions and seasonal mini-sessions. My work has been recognised with awards such as PPANI Family Photographer of the Year 2021, and I maintain a strong commitment to safety and professionalism, particularly with newborn clients. Clients receive access to online galleries and a range of print and digital package options to suit their needs.
