Ciara and James were married on the 9th September 2017 in a ceremony at St Patrick’s Church, The Loup, before hosting their reception at the stunning Slieve Russell Hotel, Co. Cavan.

These teenage sweethearts booked their wedding a few years ago so I knew it was going to be a romantic day!

I arrived at Ciara’s parents’ house as the bridal preparations were underway and quickly got to photographing the many finishing touches. The bubbles were popped open and the girls were in great spirits, excited for what was sure to be an amazing day ahead.

Ciara’s stunning Julie Vino dress was a work of art, with fitted lace bodice and tulle fishtail skirt. Her bridesmaids also wore white, for an unexpected twist, which had a real touch of class! Plus, Ciara surprised guests by changing into a second dress, later in the evening.

After the beautiful ceremony, we helicoptered to the Slieve Russell Hotel, which was the perfect way to arrive in style. Guests were bowled over by the couple’s attention to detail, with the reception room looking amazing!

We used the venue’s many beautiful locations, both inside and out, for some group and couple shots.

The happy couple jetted off on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Miami, Royal Caribbean Cruise and Cancun. Congratulations Ciara and James. Wishing you many amazing years together!
