Cara & Phillip’s Wedding at Ballymagarvey Village

Cara & Phillip’s wedding at Ballymagarvey Village was everything you’d hope for in a celebration — full of love, laughter, and one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever photographed. From start to finish, the day felt effortless, with Ballymagarvey providing the perfect setting for it all.

Ballymagarvey Village is one of Ireland’s most sought-after wedding venues, and it’s easy to see why. Set in the heart of County Meath, it combines old-world charm with luxury and comfort. The historic stone buildings, sweeping courtyard, and manicured gardens create a backdrop that feels timeless while still being warm and welcoming. Every corner of the estate seems designed with weddings in mind, from the grand banqueting hall to the quiet, hidden spots where couples can escape for a few moments together.

Cara & Phillip were an absolute joy to photograph. They were relaxed, fully present with each other, and surrounded by family and friends who clearly adored them. The atmosphere was one of celebration from the very beginning, and it made my job incredibly easy — I was able to focus on the natural moments as they unfolded, knowing that every smile, hug, and laugh would be genuine.

One of the real highlights of the day came just before dinner. The sky opened up with the most incredible sunset, washing the whole estate in warm golden light. We slipped outside for a few minutes, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Those photographs capture the heart of the day — Cara and Phillip together, soaking in the moment, with Ballymagarvey glowing in the background. It was pure magic, and a reminder of why I love photographing weddings in Ireland.

As the evening carried on, the celebrations only grew louder and more joyful. Ballymagarvey’s banqueting hall has such a unique energy, with its high ceilings, twinkling lights, and the sense of history wrapped into every detail. It is a venue that makes every wedding feel like a true event, and Cara & Phillip’s was no exception.

It was an honour to capture their story in such a special place. Cara & Phillip, thank you for trusting me with your day — I couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more wonderful couple to work with. Your wedding at Ballymagarvey Village was nothing short of unforgettable, and I know the memories you created there will last a lifetime.
