Our Belfast Innsiders: Tim and Gillian Higgins

Tim and Gillian are a husband wife photography duo living on the north coast of Ireland. They professionally photograph weddings; amongst other things, through their business and pseudonym Gather and Tides. Proud parents to three kids - Olivia 8, Jude, 5 and Jonas, 1; their work brings them to Belfast often and they love to spend time in the city. They say they’ve loved watching it prosper into the vibrant and colourful capital that Northern Ireland deserves.

Belfast really is evolving and changing all the time, and they adore it. Whether it's spending a day out with their three young kids or out on a kid free date together, they say they’ll never run out of possibilities.
