💍 Hannah & Samuel’s Dream Wedding at Waterford Castle ✨
If you’ve ever dreamed of a fairytale wedding in an Irish castle, let Hannah and Samuel’s stunning celebration at Waterford Castle Hotel & Golf Resort inspire your journey.
On a crisp spring day—April 28, 2024—these two soulmates tied the knot surrounded by elegance, natural beauty, and so much love. Their entire day unfolded like a romance novel set in the heart of Ireland, and I was honored to be there to capture it all.
🌸 A Morning of Magic
The day began with quiet excitement and joyful preparation. Hannah got ready in the beautifully lit rooms of Waterford Castle’s bridal suite. Her makeup was flawlessly done by the talented @jade_kirwan_makeup, creating a soft, radiant look that matched the elegance of the surroundings perfectly.
The scent of fresh florals filled the air thanks to the artistry of @allaboutflowers_77, whose floral designs brought soft pinks, lush greens, and romantic textures to life throughout the ceremony and reception.
💒 The Castle Ceremony
Set against the stunning backdrop of Waterford Castle, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends. The venue’s timeless charm—ancient stone walls, ivy-draped archways, and manicured gardens—provided the perfect blend of grandeur and intimacy.
📷 Capturing Romance on the Castle Grounds
From stolen glances to soft laughs, Hannah and Samuel’s love story unfolded naturally across the estate. We explored the castle’s grounds together, finding magical light filtering through the trees, quiet corners for romantic portraits, and wide-open spaces to celebrate freely.
Every moment was captured through my lens with a mix of documentary-style photography and gentle artistic direction—exactly how I love to tell each couple’s unique story.
🎉 A Celebration to Remember
Inside the castle, the reception was filled with laughter, emotion, and unforgettable speeches. From the first dance to the final toast, the energy in the room was joyful and deeply heartfelt. The castle’s warm lighting and historical charm created an atmosphere that felt straight out of a movie.
And yes—there may have been a few happy tears (mine included).
🌌 Nighttime Magic
As the sun set, we ventured back outside for a few last golden-hour portraits and a quiet moment under the stars. These are the little moments I live for—soft, unscripted, and unforgettable.
