Laura & Eoghan — Cabra Castle

A wedding at Cabra Castle.

Laura and Eoghan’s Cabra Castle photographs are full of laughter, from opening a gift in the morning to the reactions around the reception tables. Black dresses and black tie set the style, with a bright indoor ceremony and portraits around the castle grounds.

01 / THE STORY

A gift and a room full of laughter

The morning photographs centre on company as much as details. A gift, the dress reveal and playful moments with the black dresses brought plenty of open expressions before Laura left for the ceremony.

Black tie and sunglasses

Eoghan’s preparations included help with his jacket, a few mirror portraits and an embrace with the group. Sunglasses and a walk outside added a playful finish before the ceremony.

The bright ceremony room

The tall window and white flowers gave the ceremony a bright setting. Candles and colourful handfasting ribbons appear among the close reactions, before the signing and a walk back down the aisle.

04 / THE STORY

Around Cabra Castle

The circular stone entrance, garden statues and tall staircase all find a place in the portraits. A stop with the dog and a last photograph in the low sun kept the time together personal.

Time with the guests

The photographs return to the people around them, with handshakes, kisses and groups gathered in the castle rooms. Outside, there was room for a game of golf and more conversation in the gardens.

Speeches and embraces

White flowers and a black ribbon on the cake echoed the earlier details. Around the tables, applause gave way to emotional reactions, hugs and a toast from the group.

A lively dance floor

The first dance photographs hold a quieter moment before the floor fills up. Raised arms, coloured lights and Laura’s dress in motion carry the celebration through the final frames.
