Daphne and David rocked a signature elegant meets offbeat style at their Irish castle wedding at Kinnity Castle in County Offaly. We’re talking a sleek wine red dress, top hats, dapper coats, a romantic first look, ivy-covered walls, greenery arches, and toasts all night long.

Pride and Prejudice meets Crimson Peak meets BBC’s Victoria at this Georgian estate wedding

A majestic Irish castle wedding with death metal & sword-bearing protectors

We both love castles and Irish history, and Craig wanted to have a death metal band play, so we found somewhere where that was possible, and arranged everything around that.

We decided to include our two swords in the day as there is a Viking tradition to exchange swords at your wedding as a promise to protect each other.
