From Portugal to Positano, Italy, the rad weddings we feature transport us all over the globe on a regular basis. But after seeing this Irish-rustic inspired folk shoot, The Emerald Isle is high on our list of destinations to tie the knot. Stylist Alise Taggart and photographer Paula O’Hara had a modest goal in mind with this one: to show people across the world that Irish weddings can be so much more than shamrocks and stew. Well guys, mission accomplished!
