Social Pictures: The launch of Jenny McCarthy’s debut book, ‘The Wedding’

The Westbury Hotel was transformed into an oasis of wedding bliss for the launch of renowned photographer Jenny McCarthy’s debut book, The Wedding.

Plenty of familiar faces stepped out to celebrate the launch of Jenny McCarthy’s debut book, The Wedding at the Westbury Hotel, Dublin on Tuesday 27 June.

The Westbury Hotel was transformed into an oasis of wedding bliss, creating an ambience of pure elegance and sophistication. The room was draped in beautiful floral arrangements and romantic candlelight as guests indulged in lavish canapes and prosecco. An idyllic and aspirational aura filling the space, with the clean lines and classic design of the white furniture serving as a blank canvas for the flowers that adorned the room.

From cascading roses to delicate lilies, each bloom was arranged in a way that showcases its unique beauty, creating a visual feast for the eyes as Muireann O’Connell took to the stage to host the night away, and with Marty Guilfoyle on the decks providing the ultimate entertainment.

From the moment guests arrived, they were transported to a world of enchantment, where beauty and elegance reign supreme.

Jenny McCarthy has become a household name across Ireland as a renowned photographer, creating memories frozen in time for some of Ireland’s biggest celebrities on their wedding days and capturing special moments that they will cherish for a lifetime. Not only has she been part of a couple’s wedding day by way of photography, but has the skill and know-how to create the most memorable day of their lives.

Jenny has now taken the time to collate her top tips and extensive knowledge of the wedding industry, publishing her very first book, The Wedding. This book contains all of the tips, tricks and hacks that Jenny has taken in over the 20 years, creating a guide with everything that a couple needs to know how and when to do, without the added stress.

Jenny was joined by her husband, Virgin Media Television’s Martin King on the red carpet, and guests included Stephanie Roche, Ashling Kilduff of Design Centre, Alan Hughes and Karl Broderick, sisters Rosalind and Sarah Lipsett.

Jenny has outlined all of the questions that a couple should consider when booking their suppliers, tips for the lead up to the big day, what to gift to your bridal party to commemorate the moment and their involvement, and of course, lots of tips on photography, to make sure that you get the very best from your big day.

PhotosbyJen has catered for couples in the world of sports, social media, high profile business, and politics and has photographed the weddings of influencers Suzanne Jackson, Rosie Connolly, celebrities such as Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian, Glenda Gilson, and footballers Stephanie Roche, James McCarthy, and Seamus Coleman to name just a few, throughout her 20-year tenure in the wedding industry.
