William & Hannah’s Markree Castle Wedding / A Candid Celebration in the Heart of Sligo

William and Hannah’s Markree Castle Wedding

William and Hannah celebrated their wedding day in the heart of Sligo, surrounded by the timeless beauty of Markree Castle.

The morning began in the charming Butler’s Kitchen, where the atmosphere was relaxed and full of quiet excitement – a perfect start to a day filled with genuine moments.

Their ceremony took place in the intimate castle chapel, followed by a relaxed photo session around the estate. We explored the forest paths, walked by the river, and paused in the gardens – every corner of Markree Castle offering space for truly candid and artistic wedding photography.

Later in the evening, heartfelt speeches were delivered from the grand staircase, before guests returned to the dining room for dessert.

Just after the final course, everyone stepped outside for a magical sparkler moment – one of the highlights of the day – which led straight into the first dance and a night full of celebration on the dance floor.

Markree Castle has a unique way of wrapping every wedding in a fairytale atmosphere.
It’s not just the architecture, but the energy – the way light filters through the windows, the quiet charm of the gardens, the sound of laughter echoing through historic halls. For a wedding photographer, it’s an inspiring place – and for couples like William and Hannah, it becomes a storybook backdrop for real, unfiltered moments.

As a Destination Wedding Photographer, it’s a joy to document weddings like this – honest, emotional, unscripted.
Every glance, every hug, every sparkler-lit smile felt deeply authentic. This wasn’t just a wedding, it was a celebration of connection and presence, shared with the people that matter most.

If you’re dreaming of a castle wedding in Ireland, Markree offers the best of both worlds – timeless grandeur and intimate charm.
Whether you’re planning an elopement, a full-day celebration, or a destination wedding weekend, the castle grounds and interiors create a truly cinematic setting.

From a Documentary perspective, it’s a dream location – filled with texture, light and emotion.
And for couples who value natural storytelling, like William and Hannah, it becomes a canvas for capturing wedding memories that feel real.
