John & John’s Celbridge Manor Wedding
Weddings are at their best when they feel true to the couple. John & John’s celebration at Celbridge Manor was full of love, laughter, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes photography flow naturally. For me and Annie, it was a privilege to capture such a joyful and heartfelt day.
A Ceremony at Celbridge Manor
Celbridge Manor House is one of those venues that mixes old-world charm with a laid-back feeling. Just twenty minutes from Dublin, it feels like a quiet retreat but still close to the city. John & John exchanged vows surrounded by family and friends, and the emotion in the room was unmistakable — tears, laughter, and plenty of hugs afterwards.

Portraits in the Grounds
After the ceremony, we walked the gardens and tree-lined paths for portraits. What made it so special was how natural they were together — no stiff poses, just two people enjoying their day. That’s always what I look for in photography, capturing those in-between moments that say more than any staged picture ever could.

A Celebration Full of Joy
The reception at Celbridge Manor carried the same energy — heartfelt speeches, long tables filled with laughter, and dancing that lasted late into the night. There was no mistaking the joy everyone felt for John & John.
A Same-Sex Wedding to Remember
Ireland is one of the most welcoming places in the world for LGBTQ+ weddings, and John & John’s day was a reminder of how much love can light up a room. Their wedding at Celbridge Manor was proof that the best celebrations are simply about two people being themselves, surrounded by the people who matter most.
