Stunning Kerry wedding, in the idyllic Kenmare
Grace and Marc, an amazing couple from New York, decided to tie the knot in the beautiful Dromquinna Manor in Ireland. What makes it even more special is that Grace, Irish born, wanted to come back to where it all began for her. With rolling green hills, a touch of New York chic, and a whole lot of Irish tradition.
