A Sweet September Drenagh Estate Wedding


There’s something about wedding days like Ashley and Dean’s that just sticks with you; the kind of love that feels effortless, the kind of joy that radiates in every moment. These two first met on a night out, a serendipitous beginning that led to a picture-perfect proposal at the iconic Dunluce Castle. And on a golden September day, they brought all that magic to life with a celebration that felt straight out of a dream.

Saying "I Do" At St. Eugene’s Cathedral


Ashley and Dean’s day kicked off in the heart of Derry at St. Eugene’s Cathedral, a breathtakingly grand setting for their heartfelt vows. Ashley floated down the aisle in the most stunning off-the-shoulder gown from The Vow, while Dean—waiting at the altar in a timeless tux from Evolve Menswear—couldn’t take his eyes off her. That moment? Pure magic.


But the real show-stealer? Their miniature dachshund, Daphne, who was waiting for them outside the chapel after the ceremony, tail wagging and ready for her close-up. Because, honestly, is it even a perfect wedding day without a fur baby involved?

The Beauty Of Drenagh Estate


After the vows were sealed with a kiss, we made our way to the ever-dreamy Drenagh Estate, where the gardens were glowing and the champagne was flowing. If there’s one thing that defines Ashley and Dean’s love, it’s how effortlessly they make each other laugh. From cheeky glances to full-blown belly laughs, their joy was contagious; exactly what you want on a day like this.
