Summer was the perfect season for Gala and Sean’s beautiful wedding at Ballykealey House in Carlow. Above all as a wedding photographer, it’s always a joy to capture celebrations at venues that feel truly special. And it must be said that Ballykealey House is one of those hidden gems. With exclusive use of the property, couples have full access to its stunning gardens, woodland spaces, and elegant interiors. This makes it an ideal location for timeless wedding photography.
Gala looked breathtaking, with her Edwina O’Gorman gown flowing beautifully as she walked through the gardens. Similarly her bridal look came together flawlessly thanks to Niamh from I Do Hair Bridal and Paula from Paula Byrne Makeup, creating a style that complemented the elegance of Ballykealey House perfectly. Every detail, from the gown to the florals, reflected their personalities and love story.
One of the standout features of Ballykealey House is its enchanting outdoor woodland ceremony space. Gala and Sean’s ceremony was held here, expertly styled by Flowers By Yvonne, whose florals brought the woodland setting to life. In addition, the atmosphere was intimate, magical, and utterly unique. Witnessing the ceremony led by Louise Burchall / Happy Humanist was such a heartfelt experience. In short it was the perfect beginning to their day.
As the evening arrived, guests retreated to the main house for dinner and evening entertainment. The transition from outdoor charm to indoor elegance was seamless. After that everyone danced the night away, celebrating Gala and Sean’s love story in style.
For couples planning a wedding in Carlow, Ballykealey House is a dream venue. From its exclusive use and beautiful gardens to its magical woodland ceremony space, it offers every opportunity for stunning photography and unforgettable memories. In short I would love to capture more weddings here and help couples tell their unique love stories in such a breathtaking setting.
