Some kind words sent from my lovely couples;
Vickey, you are an absolute dote! I will never forget that big smile that greeted me at the door on my wedding day. From the day we met you, two years before our wedding to the day of the wedding was just such an easy process. Nothing was to much trouble and any questions I had were always answered in such a warm kind manner. You put everyone at ease with your chilled vibe. The best decision we made was having you play such a big part of our day and we couldn’t be happier. I mean when we seen the finished product- wow!
You are are just fantastic and I would highly recommend to everyone because you are amazing at what you do.
Kindest Regards,
The Kellys
Its very easy to recommend Vickey, from the moment she stepped into our family we were immediately put at ease with her warm, friendly presence and professionalism, she analysed myself and family characters without an ounce of stress.
Personally I am not confident on front of a camera and Vickey took these worries away and I actually enjoyed it.
We chose not to have a wedding video, and we have no regrets as Vickey captured our perfect day from every angle and it is a credit to her enthusiasm that she was able to split herself.
A million thank yous!

Vickey was the first person I thought of as photographer when Keith and I got engaged. She had been the photographer at my sister’s wedding the year before and the photographs were amazing.
On the day Vickey fitted in very well to our relaxed day and snapped away throughout. She didn’t take to long to get the more formal photographs taken which the bridal party appreciated as it meant they got to spend more time enjoying the day.
We didn’t have a videographer and we didn’t need one because Vickey really captured the day! The photos are fantastic! The natural photographs of our guests and ourselves throughout the day meant that we could remember what for us was the best day ever!
We can’t recommend Vickey enough, especially if you want someone who will go with the flow and makes the day run smoothly!

My husband and I are Canadians, and were planning our wedding overseas in Ireland. Vickey came recommended to us from a family member, and we are now forever grateful for that recommendation. After viewing Vickey’s website we felt like we already knew her and were excited to have her play a part in our big day. Vickey was beyond accommodating and relieved a lot of stress that had built up from planning a wedding overseas. She became more than a photographer, made local recommendations and helped guide us through planning a wedding in Newry. My parents met Vickey before we did, and they couldn’t help but gush over her, and how friendly and comforting she was to my other family members.
We visited our first wedding fair and Vickey was the first person we spoke to – we immediately knew she was the photographer for us.
Although we didn’t book then and there we kept coming back to her during our planning. We both loved her personality and how she made us feel at ease. We visited her at her studio and we knew we made the right choice.
We had a pre wedding shoot where Vickey made everything so easy. We kind of forgot she was there to take photos and it felt more like a walk in the park with a friend.
We couldn’t have asked for more on the day itself. She fitted right in with my family on the morning of the wedding, blended into the background and just worked away.
Throughout the day she knew when we’d had enough and didn’t make us pose for those ‘cringey’ photos we didn’t want. Everything was natural, and the photos captured the true happiness of the day with lots of true smiles and giggles.
We were thrilled with the photos she took both of us and our guests. The added bonus was the little snaps she took of the guests throughout the day that we missed but she captured beautifully. I can’t recommend Vickey enough, she is perfect for any wedding. Thank you for sharing in our special day and making it so easy X

Vickey is a fantastic photographer who went out of her way to capture beautiful and relaxed photos of our wedding day.
Throughout the day she was very organised and helpful when getting people into photos and our wedding photos are amazing .
We could not have asked for better. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking a photographer. Thanks for your hard work and excellent service you provided from start to finish and we will definitely see you again.

Vickey was an absolute star in the run up to our wedding and on the big day itself!
She is so friendly and warm but also extremely efficient and professional (not forgetting patient!!)
The pictures she took were totally fab and our album was done in no time. I’m so glad we chose Vickey to capture our special day, we couldn’t have felt more comfortable with her which gave us a fantastic finished product in our beautiful album 🙂

When looking for our wedding photographer in April this year I had looked the previous year on the internet, facebook, and wedding shows but you dont get a proper view of what they are like untill you have spoken to someone who has had them at their own wedding by way of referral.
This is how I chose Vickey, from word of mouth as a friend of mine had her for her wedding photographer and recommended her to us.
I contacted Vickey and she was very accomodating to meeting up and showing us some of her work. Me and my husband wanted a photographer that had a casual approach as I love very natural photographs.
My husband is a farmer and is not exactly photogenic so we chose the package for engagement photos along with wedding usb and album to try and have a go on front of the camera before the big day.
My husband met her for the first time at our engagement shoot where she travelled to the location of our choice ( which was our farm that we were moving to when we were married) we chose here as it was something that we were interested in as we are both country folk.
My husband felt so relaxed and we had good crack with Vickey during the shoot, infact it didnt even feel like she was taking our photo. That day vickey and my hubby also chatted about the photos that we wanted at our wedding and my husband felt so much more at ease about our wedding day having broken the ice.
On our wedding day Vickey arrived early at my parents house and just worked away taking photos and we didn’t even know she was there. She left our house and went to our church and got a few of the men arriving in style too. All that day Vickey blended into the background, gave us exactly what we wanted and worked really well together with our videographer.
Our pictures were sent in an email to me when we were on honeymoon 3 weeks later for us to look through and she sent us an example of our album with pictures already inserted and stated for us to just change them accordingly. It was great that she had already pictures inserted as she had it set up like a story book. It was very easy process to finalise the album (although the hardest part was there were sooo many amazing photos it was difficult whittling them down for the album lol).
When it came to collecting the album, again Vickey was very accommodating, she came and met me and she had done an amazing job. To give you an idea of turn around, we got married in April, agreed on the pictures for the album mid June and I collected our wedding album on the 9th of July.
We would both recommend Vickey to anyone who is looking for a relaxed photographer, amazing quality photos, a very friendly person who you dont even know she is there and will go the extra mile for you as a bride, she is very accomodating and punctual her work was brilliant and really quick and professional service.

Vickey is such a lovely and down to earth girl. I loved her natural style of photos and the way she worked.
On the day of my wedding she knew exactly what I wanted and made our day go so smooth.
I thought I’d have hated doing the photos part but I loved every second of it. As for the album/photos they are amazing. I’d totally recommend Vickey for your wedding photos. Xx
Linda and David Rolston
From the first email it was clear to see that Vickey was friendly and professional.
She did an engagement photo shoot with us a few weeks before the wedding and made us feel so comfortable and the pictures were so relaxed just what we wanted. Also vickey suggested places to take photos and the best time of the day for lighting.
Then for our wedding she was just class she just became one of the family that day and just blended in we forgot we were being photographed half the time she snaps away.
The wedding album itself was perfect and we received it so quickly!! Vickey really did make our day that wee bit more special.
We also had a baby in October this year and once again it was Vickey we called to take his pictures.
She was so patient when our boy had to have a bottle or nappy change. The pictures are just beautiful and she supplied little woollen props too. We were over the moon with how the photo shoot went.
I would highly recommend Vickey Donaldson Photography she photographed all the major parts of our lives and it was perfect!!!! Definitely 5*

Vickey is a fantastic photographer. As soon as I spoke to her regarding our big day she was so friendly and easy to talk to which immediately made us feel at ease, making that aspect of our wedding completely stress free.
An engagement shoot was included in our package, which let us get to know Vickey and the camera, so on the wedding day we weren’t nervous in front of the camera at all and of course Vickey kept the craic going too which was great!
Her eye for detail is fantastic and she captured amazing photographs!
I absolutely love our album which Vickey had completed just a month after we got married, she was so on the ball with everything!
Now 2 years on we have a beautiful baby girl which Vickey also done a beautiful family photo shoot for us recently.
I would highly recommend Vickey to anyone I know getting married!
