Hey there! Let me tell you about Orla and Sean’s wedding at Dublin City Hall. It was one of those days that just sticks with you. You could feel the love in the air, and every little detail was picked out with so much care.
The Venue: A Photographer’s Dream
City Hall Wedding Dublin isn’t just any old place to tie the knot. It’s got these huge, impressive pillars and loads of space that’s just perfect for photos. I mean, those stairs alone are a statement! And that’s where I got to capture Orla and Sean’s “I do’s.”
Getting Ready: All the Feels
The morning buzz was all about the little things: the dress, the shoes, and the rings. They even had this cute Batman figure that meant a bunch to them. And the invites? They were like old-school telegrams, which was super cool and fitting for their City Hall theme.
The Bride’s Moment
Watching Orla get ready was something else. She was glowing, and when she finally put on her dress and walked down the stairs, it was like a scene from a movie. The look on her dad’s face when he saw her for the first time? Priceless.
The Ceremony: Pure Joy
You could just tell Orla and Sean were over the moon for each other. They lit this candle together during the ceremony, and it was such a sweet moment. Then, walking out as a married couple to cheers from everyone? It was perfect.

The Dean Hotel: Dinner with a Modern Twist
After the ceremony, we all headed to The Dean Hotel. It’s this trendy spot that was just the ticket for a laid-back wedding dinner. The vibe was as cool and welcoming as the couple themselves.
