St McCartans Cathedral and Castle Leslie Estate, you can’t ask for two more spectacular locations for a wedding! Claire and Jack decided to both get ready at the estate surrounded by family and friends. Was so great to catch up with the very talented make up and hair team Celine Salmon and Shauna Lawler Claire couldn’t believe how incredible she looked, and she definitely did! I don’t think we have ever met such a happy bride!
While the groom and his groomsmen were relaxing with a well deserved Guinness, Claire opted for a first look with her dad. First looks are so special and we always love to capture all the emotions that go along with it.
The couple chose St McCartans cathedral for their wedding ceremony, a truly beautiful building (apart from the unfortunate scaffolding outside 🙈) With a later ceremony they decided not to greet their guests outside but to get back to the Castle to capture some portraits before the sun sets.

We always like to take our lead from our couples regarding how long they would like to spend on the formal photos. We pride ourselves on being unobtrusive and with minimal interruption to your day. So it was an efficient photoshoot on the grounds of Castle Leslie and we even got treated to a beautiful rainbow! The early spring light was just incredible!
We finished off with some relaxed family formals and some bridal party photos. How incredible were the vivid pink jumpsuits the bridesmaid wore!?
Claire + Jack were able to go and enjoy the music, the incredible food and all the craic with their friends. As always the dinner was delicious and the speeches so eloquent and heartfelt. All the wedding guests were keen to get on the dance floor and there was so much energy and atmosphere.
What a way to start our 2024 off!! We hope every wedding is as amazing as this one and we are super excited for all the wedding adventures to come.
