Claire & Will

A wedding at Ballyscullion Park.

Claire and Will’s wedding story moves from a church ceremony to the gardens at Ballyscullion Park. Stained-glass portraits, confetti and a flower-trimmed swing lead into speeches and dancing in the marquee.

Before leaving

Claire’s preparations are framed by a staircase and bright windows. Will’s suit details and the group’s reactions add quieter moments before the ceremony.

Light and garden portraits

Stained glass casts colour across the church portraits before the sequence moves into greenery. Brick arches and the garden swing give the outdoor photographs a different rhythm.
