Favourite venues - Ballymagarvey Village

Ballymagarvey Village - What a venue!

Up this week on my list of great venues I've shot in is Ballymagarvey Village in Meath!

Ballymagarvey is probably one of the most popular venues I have shot in and it never disappoints! Around every corner, there is another fab spot for photo opportunities. I love that the banquet hall changes with the seasons and there have been many beautiful additions since I shot my first wedding there several years ago.

Three cheers for the staff!

The staff are always a pleasure to work with and the food is fantastic (yes, I always have food on the brain) It's a very popular venue and it's easy to see why! They put so much thought and effort into each and every wedding, it's clear each time I'm there to shoot how much they care for the couple!

Location, Location, Location...

There are just so many places to shoot in Ballymagarvey, you have a vast swathe of locales on site to take your couple portraits. There are the gardens just in front of the ceremony room with a gorgeous deck area to walk out to for some quiet, intimate moments together. You have the front of the beautiful house with the stunning chandelier tree at the front of the driveway. I tell you, when the tree is lit at night, it is just exceptional for a night-time portrait!

No matter where you have your portraits taken, Ballymagarvey Village (and me!) will have the perfect spot for you!

Below are some highlights from shooting many weddings there ;) Enjoy, and remember, if you or anyone you know is getting married in Ballymagarvey, get in touch!

D & D - Fun & rain in Ballymagarvey, Co Meath!

Danielle & David, so quiet, so close and full of love. They were amazing on the day and were so easy to work with, they made us feel so much a part of the day as any of their guests.

It all started with the usual hustle and bustle of prep in the morning, hairspray, laughter and grandmothers singing to their grandchild. Danielle, her family & bridesmaids all having a nice, chilled and relaxing morning getting ready. When it was David's time to get ready, he stunned with his gorgeous suit and was a very willing participant for some nice and candid portraits.

When you're told that the Groom isn't easy in front of the camera, you think of how to make them relax, to ensure that they get to enjoy their day. That was Tom's duty this week, and he needn't have worried as David was already at ease and was so comfortable in front of the lens.

The ceremony was beautiful as always in Ballymagarvey, you could feel the warmth and love emanating from the crowd as they sat in their places for the celebration of Danielle & David's love.

Moving then to the main house for the reception where people laughed and were merry while looking quizzically at Tom who had a mini Mogwai in his shirt pocket when taking some fun candids of the guests.

The day finished with a definite flourish as Spring Break were on hand with some solid 80s cheese for the revellers on the dance floor.

Thank you guys for such a wonderful day, we wish you both the very best for your future!
