Elopements in Ireland

Elopements

A Love Story Captured in Timeless Beauty

Welcome! I’m Sharon Riddell, a photographer from Northern Ireland, here to help you create and capture the most intimate, unforgettable moments of your elopement. Whether you’re dreaming of exchanging vows on your own land with ancient ruins as your backdrop or amidst the wild, rugged cliffs of Ireland, I’m here to bring your vision to life, wherever you are.

A Dreamy Elopement in Ireland

Ireland’s beauty offers the perfect canvas for your love story. From serene landscapes to dramatic coastlines, this magical place will set the stage for the most intimate celebration of your life. I’ve had the privilege of capturing couples from all over the world, including Americans who eloped on their private land in Donegal, surrounded by family and stunning old ruins. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small gathering, I’ll be there to capture the quiet moments, the laughter, and the pure connection between you and your partner.

I knew from the moment we met Sharon that she was the perfect choice for our elopement on the North Antrim Coast. She knew exactly what we wanted and we trusted her to work her magic. She is both a professional and the most down to earth person you could want at your wedding. We cannot wait until she photographs us a as a family of 3 in the next 2 months ❤️

Sharon will be able to take the dream shots you are looking for while also making sure you feel comfortable during the session. End of story. My wife and I traveled to NI from the US for our first time and Sharon made getting elopement photos a breeze. Everything from walking us through how to wire a down payment, brainstorming location ideas, contacting a landowner in advance so that we had access to a beautiful backdrop, to also being prompt and professional before during and after the shoot, braving a mid-photoshoot downpour, driving hours out of her way to meet us, and having a fast turnaround for the final photos… she was incredible to work with. Her portfolio is immense and she is fully capable of bringing to life any ideas you may have for a photoshoot. We already can’t wait for our next trip to Ireland and hope to see her when we do.
