Tara & Robbie’s Carlow Wedding – A Day Full of Love, Laughter & Magic ✨
There are some weddings that just stay with you—and Tara & Robbie’s special day was one of them. Set in the heart of County Carlow, their wedding was the perfect blend of romance, fun, and genuine connection. I had the honour of capturing it all, and honestly, it reminded me why I love being a wedding photographer in Ireland.
A Calm, Joyful Morning in Bennekerry 💍
The day began with soft music playing in the background, bridesmaids chatting, and that unmistakable excitement in the air. Tara got ready surrounded by her closest people—her smile never left her face. There were quiet moments too: a glance in the mirror, the final zip of the dress, a deep breath before everything began. It was a beautiful start to what would become an unforgettable wedding in Bennekerry, Carlow.
A Heartfelt Ceremony at St. Mary’s Church, Bennekerry ⛪️
St. Mary’s Church is a charming spot, full of history and warmth—ideal for couples looking for a traditional Irish church wedding. Robbie waited at the top of the aisle, and the second he saw Tara, the whole room lit up. You could feel the love in every corner. It was such a privilege to capture those raw, emotional moments that pass by so quickly on the day.
Romantic Portraits at Borris House 🌿📷
After the ceremony, we made our way to Borris House, one of my favourite wedding photo locations in Carlow. The grounds are breathtaking—rolling green lawns, beautiful old stone buildings, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it so easy to get lost in the moment. Tara and Robbie were just themselves—playful, in love, and glowing.
Their portraits felt like scenes from a movie. And with @singer_clara_hutchinson adding a beautiful musical backdrop, everything felt just a little more magical.
Step House Hotel – A Dream Reception Venue 🍽️🎉
The celebration continued at the beautiful Step House Hotel in Borris. This venue is a real gem for anyone planning a Carlow wedding reception—intimate, stylish, and filled with character. From the heartfelt speeches to the wild dance floor (yes, there were some epic moves!), every moment felt authentic and full of joy.
As a Carlow wedding photographer, I love when a couple’s personality shines through the details—and Tara & Robbie nailed it. It was clear that every part of the day reflected who they are together.
Golden Hour & Starry Skies ✨🌌
We stole a quiet moment after sunset for a few night-time portraits. The stars came out just in time, and with the gentle lights of the venue behind them, it was pure magic. These moments—away from the crowd, just the two of them—are often some of the most meaningful.
