Aishling & Cormac’s Castle Durrow Wedding

Some venues seem designed for storytelling, and Castle Durrow is one of them. Set in the heart of Laois, this 18th-century country house is surrounded by beautiful gardens, elegant interiors, and that timeless charm that makes Irish weddings so unique. For Aishling & Cormac, it was the perfect place to gather their family and friends for a day full of laughter, love, and celebration.

A Ceremony at Castle Durrow

Castle Durrow’s ceremony spaces are a dream for photographers — natural light streaming through tall windows, soft colours, and a sense of history in every room. Aishling & Cormac exchanged vows in front of the people closest to them, and the emotion in the room was impossible to miss.

Portraits in the Grounds

After the ceremony, we took time to explore the castle gardens. From the sweeping lawns to the ivy-covered walls, there’s no shortage of backdrops. What I loved about photographing Aishling & Cormac was how relaxed they were together. They didn’t need anything staged or over-posed — just a chance to enjoy the day and let the real moments shine through.

Dinner, Speeches, and Dancing

The reception at Castle Durrow was as elegant as the setting itself. Long tables filled with candlelight, speeches that moved between laughter and tears, and a dance floor that quickly filled as the evening unfolded.

A Castle Durrow Wedding to Remember

Aishling & Cormac’s wedding was the perfect example of what makes Castle Durrow so special — beautiful surroundings, relaxed elegance, and a day that kept the focus firmly on the people who matter most. For Annie and me, it was a joy to photograph.
