Culmullen Church and Knightsbrook Hotel summer wedding.

A beautiful sunny day in May saw Ciara and Shane tie the knot in the gorgeous Culmullen Church near Drumree and just a short drive from Trim. Culmullen has to rank as one of the most beautiful intimate churches in Ireland which is why it's so popular with couples. Inside, the natural stone walls and stained glass windows provide the perfect setting for a wedding ceremony. 

Anyway, onto the day as it unfolded and Lorraine started off with the girls in Dunshaughlin while Denis headed off to the lads in Kells.

One thing we love about Knightsbrook is the little Secret Walled Garden across the golf course. It's a beautiful secluded location and ideal for some nice bride and groom protraits.
