A Real Wedding in Sligo, Ireland
A Wedding Day at Markree Castle
This celebration began with the anticipation of a traditional church ceremony before continuing to
Markree Castle
for the reception, portraits and evening celebrations. From quiet moments before the ceremony to the energy of the reception, the photographs below follow the natural rhythm of the day.
Markree offers a remarkable variety of settings within a relatively small area: historic interiors, woodland, gardens and the character of the castle itself. Rather than turning the wedding day into a long photoshoot, the aim was to use those locations naturally while leaving space for the couple to spend the day with the people who came to celebrate with them.

Photographing a Wedding at Markree Castle
What makes Markree especially interesting photographically is the amount of variety available without needing to take the couple away from their guests for long periods. The castle, woodland and gardens can each create a completely different atmosphere, while the most important part of the coverage remains the people, reactions and small moments happening throughout the day.
Markree Castle Wedding Questions
Can we have our ceremony elsewhere and celebrate at Markree Castle?
Yes. This wedding is a good example of a day that began with a church ceremony before everyone travelled to Markree Castle for the reception and the rest of the celebration.
Where can wedding portraits be taken at Markree Castle?
There are several very different options around the estate, including the castle interiors, woodland, gardens and areas immediately surrounding the building. The best location normally depends on the weather, available light and the timeline of the day.
Do we need a long portrait session at Markree Castle?
Not necessarily. Because so many useful locations are close together, portraits can often be created in shorter sessions around the natural flow of the wedding rather than taking a large section of time away from the celebration.
