A Perfect Day For A Wedding Photoshoot in Athenry

Grace and Keith’s wedding day was graced with unexpectedly lovely morning sunshine, a delightful contrast to the previous week’s rainy weather. The beautiful weather allowed guests to enjoy their reception drinks outdoors in the newly upgraded and stunning gardens of Raheen Woods Hotel.

Photographing Pre-Ceremony Moments

Photographs were taken of the somewhat nervous Keith and his friends on the hotel grounds, but their anxiousness quickly faded as the day unfolded. I then moved to Grace’s parents’ house in Galway, where I had the pleasure of capturing the morning’s precious moments in a relaxed and homely environment surrounded by family and close friends.

A Traditional Touch

The traditional bonfire set by the neighbours added a charming touch as Grace and her bridal party departed for the ceremony in a vintage VW van.

A Beautiful Experience

Photographing Grace and Keith was a truly wonderful experience. We explored Athenry’s landmarks, including the landscaped park by the castle grounds and the iconic Athenry Train Station, before returning to Raheen Woods Hotel to spend time with guests. The wedding ambiance was enhanced by the amazing personalities and fun-loving nature of the guests, making my job a joy.

Special Thanks

A special mention must go to Grace’s mother, Angela, for the beautiful flower arrangements, and to Grace’s Auntie Una for the superbly delicious cake.

Overall, it was a pleasure to capture the joy and character of Grace and Keith’s special day.
