Lauren and Danny

Dreamy Destination Wedding at Luttrellstown Castle, Ireland

Lauren and Danny’s wedding at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland was nothing short of magical. This American couple’s love story, which began 15 years ago in high school, had already journeyed through long-distance challenges and milestones before they said their vows in one of Ireland’s most stunning wedding venues. Their celebration was the perfect blend of romance, heritage, and unforgettable moments.

Their story is one of perseverance and patience. After years of long-distance dating, with Lauren living in a different state and Danny working as an analyst for a real estate company, their relationship has withstood the test of time. Lauren, a physician in the ER, and Danny finally got engaged nearly 4 years ago, marking the start of their new chapter.

Choosing Ireland for their destination wedding was a natural decision for Lauren, whose paternal family hails from this stunning country. It was the perfect setting to honor her Irish heritage and celebrate their somewhat unconventional journey together.
