Markree Castle Wedding Slideshow – Sunset Garden Celebration in Ireland

Step into the magic of Markree Castle with this cinematic wedding slideshow. Stephanie & Brian travelled from the UK for a spring destination wedding in Ireland, combining elegance, romance, and an incredible party atmosphere in the gardens and interiors of this historic Irish castle.

From an emotional outdoor ceremony to golden hour portraits, their Markree Castle Wedding was filled with laughter, music, champagne in the Gin Bar, and unforgettable dancing under the vaulted ceilings. As a Destination Wedding Photographer and Candid Wedding Photographer, I was honoured to capture it all.
