Happiest Mother’s Day yet ❤️

26/03/2025

What stood out the most to you both in those early days was how easy everything felt. Hanna wasn’t like anyone Nick had known before. She wasn’t caught up in material things or superficial distractions. Rather, she had an old soul… and a depth to her that made it clear she saw the world differently to other people. And for Hanna, Nick wasn’t just *good* at things… he was one of those guys who was endlessly interesting and naturally talented at, well, pretty much everything he did. But beyond the obvious reasons there were to love him, he had this incredible way of spreading love and positivity to everyone he met. He made people feel important, and with Hanna, he made sure she always felt right at home… ❤️

And after a glorious afternoon spent together, I can double-down on every word. These two devoted folks came all the whole way from North Carolina to share their vows on our magnificent coastline and my heart is so incredibly full to have been part of it 🥹

Storm Eowyn has got me thinking about the many, many couples I’ve married who have braved (and battled) the Irish wind and rain. Sometimes it’s a little mist, then others we are simply all in it together for the sake of love…

Somehow, worked her magic and we don’t look quite as wet as we sure were! But it certainly didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. And you know what they say, a wet knot is harder to untie… ❤️

Their love story reached a new chapter on a rainy day in Strasbourg whilst visiting the Christmas markets. The trip itself didn’t start as planned. The flights were cancelled the day before, and Kaleigh was ready to scrap the idea altogether BUT Kenny had a secret plan in motion, and he wasn’t about to let it fall apart….

Determined, they made their way to France, braving the cold and pouring rain. Amid festive cheer and twinkling lights, a photographer - disguised as a friend of a friend - suggested you pose for a picture in front of the grand cathedral! Kaleigh, unsuspecting, smiled for the camera. Then, in an instant, Kenny got down on one knee… ❤️

These two absolutely gorgeous humans aptly braved snowfall on the North Coast of Ireland and it could not have been more romantic. They are so heartbreakingly perfect together that I can’t believe I got to witness it… with my loves & in tow. Magic✨

She’s a runner, she’s a track star. She gon’ run away when it…’s time for ya FIRST KISS! 💋 You won’t catch me slippin’ on those little details. Plus, is kinda scary if you give her something to Photoshop 👀

(Jokinggg 😂 I’m just a team player 🤜🏼🤛🏼)

HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS 💔 Sarah and Brian took a short trip from their hometown of Omagh to elope just a few hours from home…. ❤️ The wind was crazy, the giggles were constant, the craic was 90 and, even though I’m still finding sand from that day, I wanna do it ALL again! After saying their vows and legally marrying on a private beach, they headed straight to the tattoo parlour to mark their day⚡️Tell me they ain’t the coolest…🤙🏼

It’s April. I’m wearing my 13 tog jacket in the sand dunes, and it’s April. 🥲. Ain’t nothing this bottle of Bolly won’t cure, mind you! And THAT, my friends, is why Irish people drink 😅
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

After seventeen years together, lovers Jenn & JR made their promises, shared their vows, exchanged rings and tied the knot right here at Dunluce Castle… all with their two beautiful children, theirs parents and their siblings in tow ❤️ And all captured perfectly by our wonder girl ✨

12/04/2024

Never a harder workin’ woman than our Christine 💛
If you’ve gotten married at Dunluce Castle in recent years, you’ll know that she’s the cog that keeps the whole operation running so smoothly. But more importantly, rain, hail or shine, her craic is MIGHTY! 😂 We’d all be lost without her!

Always absolutely BEAMING watching my couples make this huge commitment… maybe a lil TOO MUCH though… 👀?! ➡️

North Belfast 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽 Pizza Guys

These two babes got married in their own backyard before taking a quick trip down the road to to grab some slices for their gang 🍕 And sure the welcome committee couldn’t have been more North Belfast 😎 🤙🏼

Did someone say… WEDDING SEASON?! 😏 I feel like Bublé in December, thawing out by the fire as 2024 starts to heat up! I’ve started off this year at the most gorgeous pace… but suddenly it’s March and it’s ALL KICKING OFF 😅 It’s a HUGE year ahead and, whilst I was hoping my thermals would be in the attic by now, I couldn’t be more excited to spend my days and nights up in the mountains and down by the sea! And I can’t WAIT to see all the coolest vendors as I go 🤜🏼🤛🏼

Taking a hiatus from my usual content to wish a happy birthday to my girl JR ❤️ Ten years ago we became desk buddies and, through a shared love of Squashies and endless laughter throughout one another’s ✨GENUINE✨ traumatic life events, we’re bonded for life! I honestly couldn’t feel luckier to have someone so kind, quick, straight, intelligent and god damn cool to call my cheerleader (shoutout OMI 🇯🇲).

AND it would be remiss of me not to mention that this crazy talented gal is producing her first show at this March - ‘This Sh*t Happens All The Time’. You should absolutely check it out 🤙🏼

Have you ever met sunshine in human form?! ☀️ Cos I HAVE! Ironically on the rainiest day Ireland had to offer!

Karla & Trevor see their sights on a European adventure and, after picking up the ring OF YA DREAMS, decided to stop off in Ireland for a low key elopement with me and my fave …and it couldn’t have been any more PERFECT ❤️

After just four months together, Brisa and Clinton traveled four and a half thousand miles from Texas to Luttrelstown Castle here in Ireland to commit their lives to one another ❤️ If it’s good enough for Posh and Becks, it’s good enough for us!

Absolute art made by the absurdly talented ❤️
