THIS finally happened! Introducing Jen & Jack, who got married in Tollymore Forest. We have been on a journey together over the past few years, and I couldn't have been happier to finally marry them. They say their love is simple, though considering their own journey over the past few years, simple doesn't quite explain it.

This pair could not be stronger, and it was evident on their wedding day with their 2 girls Izzy and Charlotte. Izzy read The Giraffe & The Monkey, and they finished the ceremony toasting each other with a whiskey in the quaich. Surrounded by family and friends, all huddled under a tree in the most perfect space near Donard where they had their first kiss, engagement, now marriage.

I was joined by the super talented on 🎶 and Bethan Rose Photography on 📷

Wishing Jen, Jack and their 2 girls a life of peace, love, laughter, board games and cocktails ❤️

So privileged to be a part of this day where Lauren & Ricky said their I dos surrounded by family and friends. They had a reading and drank from the quaich. Just lemonade of course as baby wasn't keen on Prosecco! A wonderful day with wonderful people and a super supplier team to add!
