Stuart & Emma’s Wedding at Orange Tree House

Orange Tree House Wedding Photographer

Hey! Pleased to share the wedding of Stuart and Emma at Orange Tree House.

They were the sweetest couple 🖤 Stuart got ready at Rose Cottages and Emma at The Old Vicarage. Both BnBs are perfect if you’re planning a wedding at Orange Tree House. Since they are just 10–15 minutes apart, I was able to spend time with both of them in the morning as they got ready. I love photographing wedding preparations, it’s such a great 'warm up' as a wedding photographer. It gets the immediate family and bridal party comfortable with the camera and makes everything more relaxed. Both houses were so much fun, and I genuinely had a brilliant time from the moment I was welcomed. It was my first time at The Old Vicarage, and I was amazed! So much charm, quirky details, and beautiful spots for photographs, and so close to Orange Tree House. Rose Cottages is always a thrill to return to—it looks like a small cottage from the street, but inside it just keeps going! I can’t recommend both places enough if you need accommodation for a wedding at Orange Tree House.

I’ve loved shooting at Orange Tree House since its first year, and seeing how it has grown over the years has been amazing. The venue has fantastic natural light and every corner works perfectly for a wedding. The staff at Orange Tree House are brilliant and take great care of everyone, keeps everything smooth.

Their Humanist ceremony, officiated by Dot Lines, was beautiful. Stuart cried while Emma giggled, it was such a wholesome contrast! Stuart wiped his tears with blue roll during his vows, and Emma opened hers with “you are the onion to my burger”! Like I say, the sweetest couple.

Hercules, their gorgeous Staffy, was the star of the show. Always a bonus when the venue is dog-friendly!

The morning was brilliant with makeup by Heather Allen and hair by Dani Belle. They brought such great energy to the morning prep. Logi Bear provided the camper van, always great to see Sam.

If you are planning a wedding at Orange Tree House, or anywhere in Northern Ireland, and are looking for a relaxed/no fuss wedding photographer in Northern Ireland, I’d love to hear from you!
