She’s a runner, she’s a track star. She gon’ run away when it…’s time for ya FIRST KISS! 💋 You won’t catch me slippin’ on those little details. Plus, is kinda scary if you give her something to Photoshop 👀
(Jokinggg 😂 I’m just a team player 🤜🏼🤛🏼)
HOW GORGEOUS IS THIS 💔 Sarah and Brian took a short trip from their hometown of Omagh to elope just a few hours from home…. ❤️ The wind was crazy, the giggles were constant, the craic was 90 and, even though I’m still finding sand from that day, I wanna do it ALL again! After saying their vows and legally marrying on a private beach, they headed straight to the tattoo parlour to mark their day⚡️Tell me they ain’t the coolest…🤙🏼
It’s April. I’m wearing my 13 tog jacket in the sand dunes, and it’s April. 🥲. Ain’t nothing this bottle of Bolly won’t cure, mind you! And THAT, my friends, is why Irish people drink 😅
Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
After seventeen years together, lovers Jenn & JR made their promises, shared their vows, exchanged rings and tied the knot right here at Dunluce Castle… all with their two beautiful children, theirs parents and their siblings in tow ❤️ And all captured perfectly by our wonder girl ✨
Never a harder workin’ woman than our Christine 💛
If you’ve gotten married at Dunluce Castle in recent years, you’ll know that she’s the cog that keeps the whole operation running so smoothly. But more importantly, rain, hail or shine, her craic is MIGHTY! 😂 We’d all be lost without her!
Always absolutely BEAMING watching my couples make this huge commitment… maybe a lil TOO MUCH though… 👀?! ➡️
North Belfast 🫱🏼🫲🏽 Pizza Guys
These two babes got married in their own backyard before taking a quick trip down the road to to grab some slices for their gang 🍕 And sure the welcome committee couldn’t have been more North Belfast 😎 🤙🏼
Did someone say… WEDDING SEASON?! 😏 I feel like Bublé in December, thawing out by the fire as 2024 starts to heat up! I’ve started off this year at the most gorgeous pace… but suddenly it’s March and it’s ALL KICKING OFF 😅 It’s a HUGE year ahead and, whilst I was hoping my thermals would be in the attic by now, I couldn’t be more excited to spend my days and nights up in the mountains and down by the sea! And I can’t WAIT to see all the coolest vendors as I go 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Taking a hiatus from my usual content to wish a happy birthday to my girl JR ❤️ Ten years ago we became desk buddies and, through a shared love of Squashies and endless laughter throughout one another’s ✨GENUINE✨ traumatic life events, we’re bonded for life! I honestly couldn’t feel luckier to have someone so kind, quick, straight, intelligent and god damn cool to call my cheerleader (shoutout OMI 🇯🇲).
AND it would be remiss of me not to mention that this crazy talented gal is producing her first show at this March - ‘This Sh*t Happens All The Time’. You should absolutely check it out 🤙🏼
Have you ever met sunshine in human form?! ☀️ Cos I HAVE! Ironically on the rainiest day Ireland had to offer!
Karla & Trevor see their sights on a European adventure and, after picking up the ring OF YA DREAMS, decided to stop off in Ireland for a low key elopement with me and my fave …and it couldn’t have been any more PERFECT ❤️
After just four months together, Brisa and Clinton traveled four and a half thousand miles from Texas to Luttrelstown Castle here in Ireland to commit their lives to one another ❤️ If it’s good enough for Posh and Becks, it’s good enough for us!
Absolute art made by the absurdly talented ❤️
My sweet girl, Anna. A real life American Beauty… 🌹
October, the most dizzying month of 2023, is COMPLETE! ✨And in the background, those gorgey elopements are shaping up BEAUTIFULLY for next year with more and more couples choosing to get hitched in beautiful Belfast ❤️
If you’ve been around for long enough, you’ll know this is a North Coast stan account ✊🏼…but Belfast has some pretty beautiful rolling hills too, and I’m coming for ‘em! ❤️
One week later I am STILL finding sand in my pockets after these two laid back lovers decided to legally elope at Ballintoy Harbour 🌊🐚 These two rascals giggled from start to finish and, whilst the weather warning meant I couldn’t quite catch their personal vows, this one was definitely so much more than words… Sarah and Brian, ya have my heart ❤️
Without warning, or so it feels, October has been absolutely HECTIC! 😅 Couples from all ends of the globe have found themselves facing all elements, and I’ve been in the trenches with them! All the while, those 2025 requests have been piling in thick and fast 😏 (I see you…) but there’s still a lil room in 2024 for those Irish elopements… ❤️ So if you’re thinking of booking in for an outdoor adventure, there’s no time like present! 💌
Let’s not forget those kisses for baby too… 💔
This week truly has been a tale of Bell vs. Babet 🌪️ but having weathered four spectacular weddings, I can’t help but feel that it’s me taking home the belt! 🤜🏼
Le mo ghrása mise, agus liomsa mo ghra… I am my beloved’s and he is mine 🤍
Having married couples from six out of seven continents, I’ve tried my hand at a fair few languages sprinkled through your ceremonies, with Tagalog being the most challenging to date 😅 I’m a dab hand at Gaelic (much to the disbelief of my old múinteoirí) so if you’d like a little Irish or other included in your elopement ceremony, just say the word!
P.S. I’m looking at you Antarctica.
Lisa in Love 🤍
Laura & Lee, the two most gorgeous souls, keeping it low key… ❤️

Adding to her endless list, Coady took Olivia to Marshalls Point in Port Clyde to visit two lighthouses that she’d never seen before… This one particular lighthouse was stretched right across the water by a boardwalk and, it was right there in that perfect spot, that Coady got down on one knee asked Olivia to be his wife… 🌊
Marriage but make it art… ✨
One thing about me is… if there’s a baby at your wedding, I will find them and I WILL cuddle them, and I may let them wear my Guccis 😎
Never a better man did I ever meet than our Sean 🖤
Take my hands, close your eyes, now feel… ❤️
