Bellek Castle Hotel, Mayo, Ireland

A Stunning Wedding at Bellek Castle: Catriona and Ciaran’s Special Day

The day began with photographing Ciaran, the groom, who chose to get ready at the very hotel where the wedding would take place. This made for a fantastic start, saving time and allowing us to capture the anticipation and excitement leading up to the ceremony. There’s something special about watching the groom prepare, feeling the nervous energy as the day begins to unfold.


Catriona, on the other hand, decided to get ready at her family home, and it couldn’t have been more meaningful. The house was filled with love and memories, each corner holding its own significance. Surrounded by her mother and bridesmaids, who were her sisters, the morning was a joyful and emotional experience. There were tears, laughter, and a sense of warmth that will forever be tied to that beautiful home.


Once we finished documenting Catriona’s preparation, we all made our way to the breathtaking Bellek Castle. The venue was nothing short of stunning, with its classic architecture and gorgeous surroundings. The ceremony itself was filled with heartfelt moments, and as soon as the vows were exchanged, guests were invited to the welcome drinks. Meanwhile, Catriona, Ciaran, and their bridal party joined me for a beautiful portrait session in the castle’s enchanting gardens.


The garden provided the perfect backdrop for capturing the love and joy of the newlyweds. Every frame was filled with emotion, from the gentle glances between the bride and groom to the laughter shared with their closest friends. It was a day to remember, one filled with love, beauty, and unforgettable moments.


As the evening drew closer, the celebration continued inside the castle, but the magic of those early moments — from the intimate preparations to the emotional ceremony — set the tone for a perfect day.
