'Phones Away on Wedding Day,' Says Newlywed Holly Carpenter

A New Chapter for Holly Carpenter

Holly Carpenter, a newlywed bride, shared her unique approach to capturing memories on her wedding day. She chose to leave her camera behind, focusing instead on being fully present and enjoying the moment. “In some ways I wish I had taken more photos,” Holly said, “but when I think back, I’m happy that I got to really be in the moment and just be present and enjoy the day.”

Holly made a stunning appearance at a glamorous Boohoo event held at No 25 Fitzwilliam Place in Dublin City Centre last night. She was in her usual cheerful and photogenic self, showcasing her love for taking pictures.

“I did have about a thousand pictures on my camera roll,” she laughed. “So I did manage to get a few pictures,” she added with a smile.

As a former Miss Ireland, Holly married Jamie Hunt, a renowned Cork wine expert, this summer. While Holly, known as an Instagram personality, loves taking occasional snaps, she emphasized that her wedding day was all about being phone-free.

During the summer, Holly and Jamie celebrated their union twice. Their official wedding took place in Dublin with a small gathering of family and friends, while their second wedding was a grand celebration in the South of France.

“I had such a great time,” Holly shared. “It was a real party and it felt like a holiday for everyone.”

The well-known Irish model went all out for her double summer weddings. Her first legal wedding was in Dublin, where she officially became Mrs. Holly Hunt during an intimate dinner at a city center restaurant.

Her father, Karl, who has been diagnosed with cancer, proudly walked his daughter down the aisle, making it a deeply emotional moment. Additionally, Holly, an animal lover and advocate, was accompanied by her rescue dog Juno on her special day.

A few months later, in August, Holly and Jamie tied the knot again with a beautiful destination wedding in France.

After their second wedding, Holly and Jamie shared some breathtaking photos of themselves walking hand in hand after their ceremony. They captioned the post, “The best day of our lives!” The newlyweds were radiant as they celebrated with friends and family on their special day.
