TRINITY COLLEGE & KILRUDDERY HOUSE
Located in Dublin, Trinity College is the oldest university in Ireland having been founded in 1592. Grace and Alex met whilst studying there and despite now living half way around the world in Los Angeles, they chose to return to Dublin to host their spectacular wedding weekend. Their reception venue Kilruddery House just to the south of Dublin is a stunning 17th century mansion with an exquisite orangery attached to it.
The whole weekend was planned and designed by House Of Hannah Events.
The dressFor her wedding look, the bride, Grace, worked with Emilia Wickstead on a custom design paired with a veil and Stuart Weitzman heels.
Hair Stylist Joanne Kelly O’Hara & Make-up Artist Emma O’Byrne created a natural and modern look for Grace.
Stationer Lenka Bance created a design for the invitation suite which included a detailed letterpress rendering of Trinity College.

The ceremony
After the ceremony, we captured some family portraits and some quick photos of Grace & Alex at Trinity College before we all departed for Killruddery House.
“We are so happy we chose to work with Taylor & Porter for our wedding in Ireland.
Louise and her team were an absolute joy to work with throughout the whole process, she really took the time to understand what we wanted and made us feel completely at ease.
We are in love with our photos and the 8mm film she created - so happy that we chose to do the film too, it's such a beautiful memory of the day!
I have already recommended her to other friends and would again & again!”
