Location, Location, Location
Have you considered the location for your dream day? Promises made at a seaside venue, take your vows before stepping out onto the beach for those dreamy shots. On the sand, on the rocks, on the water, be inspired by the beach side location to create wedding photography that will really stand out.

Pre & Post Wedding Events
Celebrations that last more than a day are becoming increasingly popular. Buffets and get togethers the night before the main event to live music and drinks flowing the day after. Continue the celebrations in your own unique way whether its a live acoustic set with nibbles, a buffet and band or a set meal with dj. They say, the day after is just as big as the wedding day itself. Party On….
What’s Trending?
Two piece dresses to upcycled fashion, sustainable table designs to unusual entertainment. Set the mood with Fairytale lighting, whether its subtle lighting for a relaxed ambience or statement lighting to really lift the tone of the day (and night).
Weekday weddings are becoming increasingly popular, having your wedding on a Monday – Thursday can be less convenient for your guests, but this becomes less important if you’ve got a small guest list!
Save on costs by creating digital invites to send to your guest list, more stainable attitude/modern for the tech savvy – a quicker response rather than waiting on the postman! More Trends Here
Mini-moons
Much needed R&R after all the wedding festivities. Just as romantic as the main event, stay a while longer as the new Mr & Mrs. Romantic packages in the Lir Suite to include dinner, prosecco in the room, late checkout and more! So when the crowd has gone, its time for you two to take it all in and begin married life by the sea.

Our tips: Take it all in, every second. Your wedding day goes by in a flash, don’t spend your time watching your wedding through your camera, that’s what your photographer and videographer are there for. Mute your phone for the day, all the important people are there with you, any other notifications can wait.
Don’t stress about the small stuff, your venue is there to ensure everything goes as smooth as possible for you. Remember, that’s what we are experienced in.
Oh, make room for breakfast on the morning! You have a long day with lots to do…..like tying the knot!
