Megan and Iain’s Ballyscullion Park Wedding
When we think back to Megan and Iain’s wedding at Ballyscullion Park, we’re immediately reminded of how beautifully everything came together. The weather was nothing short of perfect—one of those long, special summer days in Northern Ireland where the light seems to last forever—and it set the tone for a celebration that felt warm, relaxed and full of genuine joy. From the start, the atmosphere was calm and light-hearted. Megan spent the morning getting ready with her bridal party and their little ones, all wearing soft blush robes that matched the relaxed vibe perfectly…and let’s not talk about how cool her dad’s prized bike collection is!
Ballyscullion Park is one of our favourite wedding venues in Northern Ireland, and it’s easy to see why so many couples are drawn to it. Tucked away near Bellaghy, it offers a wonderful blend of elegant gardens and charming historic buildings, with endless backdrops for natural wedding photos. Megan and Iain made the most of every corner, and their day felt like a true reflection of who they are: friendly, laid-back, and so much fun to be around.
The ceremony itself took place outdoors, beneath a marquee that let in the softest natural light. It felt intimate and effortless, with guests smiling and wiping away the occasional tear. One of our favourite moments was seeing Megan and Iain’s daughter holding a sign that read, “Daddy, it’s time to give Mummy our last name”—a little detail that summed up just how special this day was for their whole family. There’s something about an outdoor ceremony that always brings out a relaxed energy, and Ballyscullion Park is made for this kind of celebration. The gardens were in full summer bloom, giving every candid photo a backdrop of lush green.
After the vows and confetti, everyone gathered on the terrace and lawn to soak up the sunshine. Megan and Iain were so easygoing, chatting with friends and family, laughing with their children, and simply enjoying every minute. As photographers, these are the days we treasure—when couples feel free to be themselves, and every smile and hug feels unscripted.
Later in the evening, guests moved to the courtyard to toast marshmallows and make s’mores around a crackling firepit. It was the perfect way to wind down after dinner, and it gave us a chance to capture some of our favourite relaxed wedding photos of the night. There’s something magical about those twilight hours—when the formalities are over, the speeches have been said, and everyone gathers together in a circle of warm light. We loved documenting the little ones with sticky fingers and wide grins, and the quiet glances between Megan and Iain as they watched their guests having such a good time.
Throughout the day, it struck us again and again how smoothly everything flowed. There was never any rush or stress—just an unhurried pace that allowed the two of them to be present and really take in what was happening. That’s one of the reasons we always encourage couples to choose venues that feel right for them, places where they can have the freedom to create the kind of experience they’ve dreamed about. Ballyscullion Park has a way of giving couples that space, whether it’s an outdoor summer ceremony or a cosy winter celebration inside the house.
Megan and Iain’s wedding is a wonderful reminder that the best celebrations don’t have to be overly complicated or formal. When you have a beautiful setting, good weather, and the people who matter most gathered around you, the rest just falls into place. We’re so grateful to have been there to document it all—the candid laughter, the happy tears, the dancing, and the quiet moments in between.
If you’re planning your own Ballyscullion Park wedding—or any celebration across Northern Ireland—and you’re dreaming of relaxed wedding photography that feels honest and full of life, we’d love to hear your story. Every couple deserves to look back on their day and see themselves just as they were: completely at ease, surrounded by love, and having the time of their lives.
