What couples ask
The questions you are probably already asking.
Every couple planning an Irish wedding from abroad arrives at roughly the same short list of questions. These are the ones Emma hears, over and over, before a single decision has been made well.
Three things, every call. Venue, suppliers, timeline.
The Walkthrough covers all of them in depth. The Sidebar focuses on one.
№ 01 · Venue Guidance
Find the right venue, or get the most out of the one you have booked.
Honest shortlists if you have not booked. A walk-through of restrictions, timings, and brochure-omissions if you have.
№ 02 · Supplier Matching
Style-matched shortlists from someone who has watched them work.
Photographers, florists, bands, hair and makeup. Matched on how they perform on the day, not how their Instagram looks.
№ 03 · Timeline Planning
Morning to dancing. A timeline that actually works.
Built around real logistics. Supplier setup, guest flow, lighting windows, and the moments that matter.
From a Client
We didn’t need another person telling us what colour the flowers should be. We needed someone who knew our venue inside out and could build a timeline that actually worked. Emma was our clarity.

23 years inside Irish weddings
“After filming 1,500 weddings, you stop noticing the décor. You start noticing the things nobody warned the couple about.”
I have spent 23 years behind the camera at over 1,500 weddings across Ireland. That has given me something no brochure can, I know how venues really run, which suppliers genuinely deliver, and where best laid plans tend to fall apart.
