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!

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.

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.
