From historic castles and country houses to elegant hotels and secluded estates, we’ve been lucky enough to photograph and film weddings at some incredible venues across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

But choosing a venue is about much more than how it looks.

It’s where the nerves of the morning turn into the excitement of the ceremony. Where everyone you love comes together. Where the speeches run longer than planned, the drinks reception disappears in what feels like five minutes, and the dance floor eventually takes on a life of its own.

And every venue shapes that story differently.

Explore Our Wedding Venue Guides

Our venue guides bring together our experience of photographing and filming weddings across Ireland, along with practical advice to help you plan a day that feels relaxed and never revolves around the cameras.

Inside you’ll find real wedding photography and film, portrait locations, timeline suggestions, wet-weather ideas and some of the little things we’ve learned from actually working at these venues.

Most importantly, we’ll show you how to make the most of an incredible location without spending half your wedding day away from your guests taking photographs.

Wedding Photography & Film That Lets You Enjoy the Wedding

Wherever you're getting married, our approach remains the same.

We want you to have beautiful photographs and films without feeling as though your wedding has become a photoshoot.

Most of the day is captured naturally as it happens.

When we need to step in, we'll give you enough direction that you never feel awkward. We'll organise the family photographs efficiently, find beautiful light for your portraits and then get you back to the people you've invited to celebrate with you.

When photography and film are booked together, we work as one small coordinated team.

One team. One approach. One complete story.

Weddings Throughout Ireland

McGlade Photography & Film is based in Northern Ireland and photographs weddings throughout Ireland.

From Belfast and the north coast to Donegal, Meath, Dublin, Kildare, Wicklow, Kilkenny and beyond, travelling for your wedding is simply part of what we do.

So whether you're planning a castle wedding close to home, a country-house celebration on the other side of Ireland or you're travelling home from overseas to get married, we'd love to hear what you're planning.
