From a breathtaking ceremony in the historic Guildhall to a craft beer fueled celebration at the Walled City Brewery, their day was a perfect blend of timeless tradition and contemporary cool.
The Ceremony: Saying "I Do" at the Guildhall Derry
The day began in the grandest way possible. The Guildhall is the architectural crown jewel of Derry, and its neo Gothic splendor provided a stunning backdrop for Conor and Stephanie’s vows.
As the light filtered through the famous stained glass windows, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. The ceremony was defined by a palpable sense of emotion a beautiful reminder that despite the grand setting, the day was, at its heart, about two people choosing their "forever."

The Portraits: A Stroll Across the Peace Bridge
After the "I dos," we took advantage of the city’s unique landscape. Crossing the Peace Bridge from the Cityside to the Waterside isn't just a great photo op; it’s a Derry rite of passage. The joy Conor and Stephanie shared was infectious, making for some of the most natural and radiant portraits we’ve had the pleasure of capturing.
The Reception: Industrial Chic at the Walled City Brewery
For the reception, the party moved to Ebrington Square, specifically the award winning Walled City Brewery. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that trades stuffy hotel ballrooms for industrial chic vibes and incredible local flavors, this is it.
The atmosphere was electric. Between the artisanal brews and the gourmet local food, the Brewery provided an intimate, relaxed setting that allowed the couple's personalities to shine. The speeches brought a mix of belly laughs and sentimental tears, cementing the day as one filled with genuine heart.
"We wanted a day that felt like 'us'—relaxed, fun, and right in the heart of the city we love."
