Pillo Hotel Ashbourne

A colourful wedding celebration in Ashbourne, with a ceremony surrounded by guests and portraits that move from garden light to the hotel staircase. Zoe and Siobhra’s photographs bring together the setting, close moments and the energy of the evening. Here is a shorter selection to help imagine your own day.

A celebration in Ashbourne.

Pillo Hotel Ashbourne, officially Pillo Hotel & Leisure Club, is at The Rath in Ashbourne, Co. Meath. Zoe and Siobhra’s photographs show an indoor ceremony with their guests gathered close and the couple walking back through everyone afterwards.

Ask the hotel’s wedding team about the current ceremony and reception arrangements for your date. Once those are clear, we can plan where to be for the entrances, vows and reactions without interrupting the ceremony.

A little space for portraits.

The outdoor portraits in Zoe and Siobhra’s story move between wider garden scenes and much closer photographs beneath the veil. The difference comes from distance, light and the space the couple have together, rather than a long list of poses.

We would choose a brief route around the locations agreed for your wedding, with an indoor alternative ready. Leave time to walk, pause and return to your guests; a quiet few minutes often gives us more than a rushed tour.

Patterns, light and the staircase.

The patterned staircase screen and the view across the stairs give these portraits a different feel from the garden photographs. Wider frames make room for the lines of the interior, while closer frames keep the attention on the person.

Hotel spaces are shared and access can change. We will check with the team and work around the rooms and routes available on your date. A small selection of locations can still make a varied set of photographs.

Colour after dark.

The cake, speeches and dancing bring a different energy to the story. Blue and pink light become part of the evening photographs, alongside the expressions and movement of the people celebrating.

Zoe and Siobhra’s full story includes the preparations and guests as well as these venue photographs. It is a useful way to see how the quieter portraits and the lively parts of the day sit together.
