There are weddings that you photograph, and there are weddings that you feel. Elena and Conor’s day at The Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin was one of those—elegant, joyful, and filled with a quiet warmth that lit up even the most wintry of Irish afternoons.

Yes, it was a classic Irish winter wedding. The kind where the sun makes a grand appearance for a full 7.5 minutes, just long enough for everyone to say, “Look! It’s not raining!” before the clouds roll back in like they forgot something. But that’s part of the charm, isn’t it? In Ireland, sunshine in December feels like a blessing. Or a joke from the weather gods. Either way, we made the most of every beam of light we could get.
