Around the World for Love

Home for Love

Eilis & Shane met 11 years ago during final year in college. They were pretty inseparable from the get-go but job opportunities meant they spent the next five years with Shane in Galway and Eilis in Dublin, seeing each other mostly only at weekends. Absence made the heart grow fonder and they realised they wanted to be with each other full time, so decided to pack up and go travelling together for five months around South East Asia and New Zealand, finally settling in Melbourne for five years. They never intended to stay forever and always wanted to return home to Ireland to family and friends and so before their wedding this year, Eilis and Shane packed up their bags again to move on to the next chapter – their beautiful  wedding at Ashford Castle and then settling back home (along with some more travels of course!). Their day was captured by Mrs Redhead Photography and you can see their day in full here.

A Chic Celebration in France

Rob & Eimear met over a lab bench in Trinity six years ago and have been smitten ever since! They got married at Chateau St. Julien in a small sleepy French village near Poitiers, France, on a beautiful day in June. Their choice of location was based mainly on their love of travel, food, wine and most importantly cheese! They wanted to be able to spend quality time with their guests so a three-day wedding celebration was just the thing. They celebrated with friends & family from Ireland, Newcastle (where they live), London, Malaysia, The Netherlands & Australia. Their day was captured by Ryan Devereux and you can check out their full day here.

Family, Friends, Food & Fun

Seána and Stephen met in 2008 in esteemed Dublin institution, Redbox. Following their engagement in 2014 at the picturesque Ballynahinch Castle they set about looking for a venue. Determined research revealed that Michelin star chef Richard Corrigan was launching Virginia Park Lodge as a private wedding venue. The timing was perfect. Family, friends and food were top of their list and they held their humanist wedding ceremony on the grounds of the lodge, followed by a bespoke seasonal menu from Richard & the team. Seána wowed in a stunning two-piece skirt and top from Irish designer Sharon Hoey and the day was beautifully captured by Martina California and you can see the rest of their day in full here.

A Beautiful Day in May

After meeting almost 10 years ago in college, lovebirds Michelle and Conor said "I do" to forever in Glenna Church in Co. Monaghan, followed by a regal reception in the beautiful Cabra Castle in Co. Cavan in May this year.  Their day had an old Hollywood style theme and Michelle wowed in a stunning dress which she designed herself.  But the glamour didn't stop there, every inch of the reception featured glam little details. Their day was captured beautifully by Colin Colleran Photography and you can see it in full here.
