Kelly and Karl. Blairscove.

Kelly and Carl at Blairscove

Recall the stunning Indian summer last August? Kelly and Karl's wedding in Blairscove, West Cork, brings it all back. My first trip to Blairscove was a revelation! A picturesque journey, complete with the friendly locals and their preferred creamy pint - of Murphy’s.

The day kicked off spectacularly at Karl’s family's holiday home by the water in Kilcoe, an out-of-this-world setting perfect for their day two celebration. Then, it was off to Liss Ard Estate with Kelly and her entourage. Returning after a few years, the estate was as beautiful as ever, filled with laughter, fun, and the occasional joyful tear, especially from Kelly’s dad, the happy crier.

The church ceremony was a dream, bathed in exceptional light — a rarity for an old Irish chruch and a delight for any photographer.

A pitstop at Rosie’s in Ballydehob for Murphy’s set the tone before we continued to Blairscove. Blairscove impressed with its stunning location and extraordinary cuisine — a food lover’s paradise. I’ve never seen a spread quite like it. You’ll see what I mean in the photos.

A heartfelt thanks to Kelly and Karl for the privilege of photographing their big day. What a joy!
