Claire & Shane’s Ballymagarvey Village Wedding
Every wedding has its own rhythm, and Claire & Shane’s day at Ballymagarvey Village was all about warmth, laughter, and family. Nestled in the Meath countryside, Ballymagarvey has a way of feeling both luxurious and completely relaxed — and that balance suited them perfectly.
A Personal Note
After the wedding, Claire and Shane sent us the kindest words:
“To Kevin & Annie,
We hope you and your son are all keeping well and staying safe. Thank you so much for all your wonderful pictures of our wedding day. We really appreciate all the time and effort you went to take them and prepare them for us. We will continue to recommend you to others.
Love, Claire & Shane.”
As a photographer, it’s messages like this that remind me why I do what I do. It’s not just about photographs, it’s about trust — being welcomed into such an important day and knowing those images will become part of a family’s history.
Ceremony and Celebration at Ballymagarvey
Ballymagarvey Village is one of Ireland’s most sought-after wedding venues, and for good reason. The ceremony space is flooded with light, and the grounds are the kind of place where every corner feels photogenic. From the Georgian house to the mill loft, it’s a venue that wraps you in atmosphere.
You can learn more about hosting your own day at Ballymagarvey Village — but what really brings it to life is the laughter of family and friends. Claire & Shane’s guests filled the space with joy from the very beginning.
Portraits in the Grounds
We stole a little time for portraits around the gardens and courtyards. The old stone walls, the winding paths, the reflection of the lake — it all framed Claire & Shane beautifully. They weren’t looking for stiff or staged pictures, just relaxed moments that would feel true to the day.
If you’d like to see more Irish wedding venues with a similar balance of luxury and intimacy, take a look at Cherry & Edward’s Luttrellstown Castle Wedding or Bailey & Joe’s Dublin City Hall Wedding.
Dinner, Speeches, and Dancing
As the evening unfolded, the atmosphere inside the banquet hall grew warmer and louder — flickering candlelight, long tables, and heartfelt speeches. By the time the first dance started, it was clear this was a wedding no one wanted to end.
A Ballymagarvey Wedding to Remember
Claire & Shane’s Ballymagarvey Village wedding was everything an Irish celebration should be — heartfelt, beautifully set, and full of fun. For Annie and me, it was a privilege to capture.
