It’s the organic, effortless, little moments that will make your wedding day memorable.  Shannon and Darren never fancied a large traditional wedding.  Their hearts took them to Ireland, where they envisioned an intimate ceremony full of meaning with their dearest loved ones, exploring the gorgeous scenery and cliffs, then celebrating after in a low-key, super […]

We are so in love with Sarah and Nick’s intimate wedding at an Irish ruin on the Aran Islands! Their sun-kissed multi-cultural wedding day sparkled and glowed off the Irish coast.

My […]

Some may view getting married abroad as a nerve-wracking gamble of sorts: “I haven’t seen the venue! I won’t be able to try hair and makeup trials — how will I know if it will work?!  Will the florist understand my vision?”  The answer to these is a resounding “it will all be fine and […]

Normally we start our real wedding features with a bit of an introduction and background of our featured couple. When I got Hayley and Spencer’s gallery, however, I was simply blown away.
