A Romantic Markree Castle Wedding

February 8, 2023 by Kathy Silke Leave a Comment

The romantic in me loves nothing more than a sprawling Irish Castle wedding and two people who are hopelessly in love! Fiona and Nicholas tied the knot in one of Ireland’s most luxurious castles surrounded by their family and friends who has flown in from all corners of the globe. Fiona was a girl after my own heart and wanted to get all the couple photos around the amazing grounds at their Markree Castle wedding. It’s a pretty amazing backdrop for photos to be fair!

For a brief while intimate weddings made a comeback and I for one was a huge fan. Nothing quite beats having your very nearest and dearest in a dream venue all there to celebrate you finding your chosen person. This is exactly what Marianne and Dan did with 30 of their closest friends and family for their winter wedding in Castlemartyr. That winter light was hitting just right and was the perfect backdrop for some photos of this fun loving couple!

2021 was one of the busiest years for me! Somehow i shot the same amount of weddings I normally would in 12 months, in 6. But each and every wedding was amazing and while I was definitely kept on my toes I truly loved my job and got to experience some really beautiful days, crazy days, emotional days and everything in between. So a big whole hearted thank you to every one of my couples for booking me and giving me the opportunity to do what I love.

A stylish wedding with 50 guests

This is one of the very few weddings I had the pleasure of capturing in 2020. A small wedding by Irish standards, Aislinn and Ronan had just 50 guests for their stunning intimate Virginia Park Lodge wedding. It was an absolutely incredible day though and really hammered home the point that it doesn’t matter how many guests you have, all that matters is the emotions, your closest friends and family and the two of you.

Lough Tay Engagement Shoot

Sunset Lough Tay engagement shoot in Wicklow

It’s no secret that one of my favourite places for engagement shoots is Lough Tay and the surrounding Dublin and Wicklow mountains. The rolling hills, the light and the incredibly scenery make it such a unique backdrop. You can be on top of a mountain one second and down in a valley beside a stream the next.

A wedding with country house charm

I’ve known Grainne and Stephen for sometime and was absolutely honoured to photograph their relaxed and elegant Kilshane House wedding in Tipperary last year. Everything about their day was so thought out and personal to them. This wedding was full to the brim of so much loving emotion and I loved every second of it, I left them that evening on a complete high.
