Ciara & James’s wedding was an absolute joy to capture! This one was extra special for me, as I’ve been photographing Ciara since her school days—mainly documenting her many achievements in music. She’s an incredibly talented musician, and over the years, our paths have crossed at so many weddings, so seeing her as a bride was such a wonderful moment.

The weather in 2024 wasn’t always on our side, but I had a feeling their day would be beautiful—and it truly was! Everything was planned so thoughtfully. With a long journey to Lough Rynn ahead, Ciara and James made the smart choice of having an early ceremony, making the whole day flow seamlessly. And then, a memorable part of the day—a helicopter ride from Greencastle! Not only was it an amazing experience, but it also gave us plenty of time to explore the stunning grounds of Lough Rynn. The walled gardens, drenched in summer sunshine, made the most incredible backdrop for their photos.

By the time their guests arrived, we had all their portraits captured, meaning Ciara and James could truly relax and enjoy their reception. Music was, of course, a huge part of the celebrations, and Ciara even joined in for a few songs—such a brilliant moment!

Ciara & James, your day was full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! x
