Planning a wedding is one of the most significant decisions a couple will make, and choosing the right location is key. Wicklow, with its breathtaking landscapes, historic venues, and stunning scenery, is one of the best places in Ireland for a fairytale wedding. As a Dublin Wedding Photographer, I have had the privilege of capturing countless love stories in Wicklow’s most beautiful settings, and I am here to share why this region is perfect for your special day.

For many couples, choosing a wedding venue isn’t easy—they may not know whether they prefer a castle, a rustic barn, or a garden house. That’s why I’ve compiled galleries of weddings from different locations across Ireland to help you decide:
