Timeless Images with a Playful Edge at The Dunlin’s Debut Celebration
For the very first wedding at The Dunlin, the couple wanted their celebration to feel thoughtful but not too buttoned up. Working with Shannon Leahy Events, they leaned into warm details like a serpentine dinner table, clusters of grapes as centerpieces, and soft lamps that gave everything an inviting glow. Their vows were calligraphed and suspended from the ceiling, adding just the right amount of poetry to the space.
When it came to photography, their vision was clear. They wanted images that felt elevated and editorial but still full of movement and personality. Nothing overly posed. Nothing that would feel dated. Just real moments captured with intention.
That spirit shaped the entire day. It was a wedding grounded in design but driven by emotion, and every detail was chosen to reflect the couple’s style without losing their joy. The Dunlin’s debut as a wedding venue could not have been more fitting.
