One of our favorite venues to work with in Ireland is Gregans Castle in the west. It is everything you picture in your head when you think of the Irish countryside: a quaint stone country estate home straight out of a Jane Austen novel, sweet garden with flowers and vegetables, a cozy fireplace to warm […]

Although all of Ireland is most spectacular, there are a few places that are more special still. The Cliffs of Moher, located on the western coast of Ireland is one such place. These imposing towers of shale and limestone soar about 400 feet above sea level, buttressing an impossibly verdant landscape on one side and a […]

Although we do love the grandeur and pageantry of a large, opulent wedding, we also admire the smaller charming weddings set in the picturesque countryside, ideally on a bright sunny day. Such was the case with Molly and Patrick’s wedding at Castle Durrow. In the central- west of Ireland in County Laois sits an idyllic […]

A wedding is more than a union of two people; it is a merging of two spheres, each sphere comprised of the own individual journeys, stories, histories, relationships, hopes, losses, and wishes for a bright, loving future together. It is a monumental event in the magnitude of that merger, testing at times the resolve of […]

It’s been a week and the smile is still on my face. When I got the link to Kate and Jeremy’s gallery of images my eyes popped out — 755 individual photos to look through. Oye. I put a fresh pot of coffee on, settled into my chair and began to click away. By the 50th photo I […]

Waterlily Weddings is proud to present the destination wedding of Shawna & Mark at Waterford Castle. They met in the summer of 2011 and became engaged in the summer of 2013.

Many words can describe an Irish wedding, but one word in particular that transcends through the most elegant of castle weddings to a casual courthouse ceremony followed by celebratory pint at the pub, is “fun.” Having endured its fair share of historical hardships, the Irish know probably better than most that when it is a […]

Shane and Britt met in the summer of 2011 in San Diego, California (USA). Britt found herself with a group of friends at Shane’s house one evening, where they exchanged a few words. About a week later they saw each other again and hit it off. After an official first date at a restaurant called […]

Waterlily Weddings is proud to present the gorgeous elopement in Ireland of Danielle and Ace!  We love everything from the dress to the sweeping views of Howth Head right outside of Dublin City, the meaningfulness of their ceremony and how they came about to elope to Ireland.  After Ireland was decided, Danielle and Ace set to task. […]

Waterlily Weddings is proud to present the wedding of Gesa and Lars. Traditional and modern at once, their love and the love of their family and friends shone through clearly like the sunlight upon them when they exchanged vows among the statues and gardens of the gorgeous conservatory of Killruddery House in Bray, County Wicklow.  After […]
