Mike & Onra’s Stunning Wedding at Blackwater Castle, Cork

If there’s one thing to know about Mike and Onra, it’s that they’re two of the most down-to-earth, kindhearted people you could ever hope to meet. Their wedding day was nothing short of spectacular, with the sun shining brightly over Blackwater Castle in Cork—a location as rich in history as it is in beauty.

Blackwater Castle, nestled in the scenic Blackwater Valley, dates back over 1,000 years, with stories of ancient Irish kings and Norman knights who once walked its grounds. It’s no wonder this historic castle made such a fitting venue for Mike and Onra’s unforgettable celebration.

Onra was a little nervous as she made her way up the aisle in the castle’s grand room, which was beautifully filled with family and friends. With guests spilling out into the hallway and even stretching outdoors, it was clear this wedding brought together everyone who mattered most to them. The atmosphere was one of love, laughter, and a few teary-eyed moments as the couple exchanged vows.
