A Beautiful Wedding at Ballyseedy Castle: Rachael and Evan's Perfect Day

On April 27th, 2024, we had the honor of capturing Rachael and Evan's wedding at the breathtaking Ballyseedy Castle. As their wedding videographer, we witnessed and documented a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

The day started with morning preparations within the castle's historic walls. Rachael and Evan, although in different rooms, shared the same excitement and joy. The air was filled with laughter and emotions as they got ready for the big day. The castle’s elegant rooms provided a perfect backdrop for these intimate and candid moments, setting the tone for the beautiful day ahead.

Sarah Dineen from Smomakeup and Blaithin Griffin expertly handled the makeup, while Val O'Dea from Hair by Val O'Dea crafted stunning hairstyles for the bridal party.

The ceremony took place in Ballyseedy Castle's stunning chapel. It was a warm and sunny day, adding to the serene and joyous atmosphere. Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Rachael and Evan exchanged their vows in a heartfelt ceremony led by the celebrant, Pat Clarke Browne. The chapel, adorned with exquisite flowers and decorations by Tietheknotweddings, looked magical. Rachel Goode's enchanting music was nothing short of amazing, adding a special touch to the ceremony and making it even more memorable.

After the ceremony, we moved to the castle grounds for a photoshoot. Kasper from Black Diamond Photography brilliantly captured the essence of the day with his keen eye for detail and artistic vision. The lush gardens and the castle’s majestic architecture provided a spectacular setting for capturing the newlyweds' love and happiness.

Following the photoshoot, guests enjoyed reception drinks outside in the gardens, taking in the beautiful surroundings. The speeches that followed were incredibly emotional, reflecting the deep connections and heartfelt wishes of family and friends.

Each speech added to the day's emotional depth, bringing tears and smiles to everyone present.

As the sun began to set, we captured a magical sparkle shot that perfectly encapsulated the day's romance and joy. The evening continued with dancing, where everyone celebrated to the lively tunes of The Pearls. The beautiful sunset provided a perfect backdrop for this joyous occasion, with everyone on the dance floor, celebrating Rachael and Evan's love story.

A special mention goes to Auntie Katie's Wedding Babysitting Services (@auntiekatie_weddingbabysitting), who provided excellent babysitting services for Rachael and Evan's son, Ollie. This allowed the couple to fully enjoy their day, knowing that Ollie was in safe and caring hands.

Rachael and Evan's wedding at Ballyseedy Castle was a fairytale come true. As their wedding videographer, we were privileged to capture the essence of their love and the beauty of their special day. Every moment was filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt emotions from the morning preparations to the evening celebrations.
