A Magical Day in Waterford at Greenway Manor

As a dedicated Waterford wedding photographer, capturing Shane and Anna’s beautiful day at Greenway Manor Hotel was a joy. Despite the rain—a classic touch of Irish charm—their wedding was filled with warmth and love. From the moment I arrived at the enchanting Greenway Manor in Waterford, the rain drumming down only added to the cozy, authentic Irish atmosphere. The morning at Greenway Manor Hotel was a truly Irish experience, with the sound of rain creating an almost cinematic backdrop. You could hear the raindrops echo throughout the historic hotel as everyone prepared for the day ahead. Waterford’s lush, rain-kissed landscapes provided a stunning setting, and by afternoon, the skies began to clear just in time for some magical outdoor shots. If you’re dreaming of a wedding in Waterford or at a venue like Greenway Manor, I’d love to capture your special day. Whether the weather brings rain or sunshine, I’ll be there to frame every heartfelt moment.

Capturing Love in Waterford’s Greenway Manor

Luckily, Greenway Manor is an absolutely stunning venue, and having everything in one place was ideal. The hotel’s charm, both inside and out, made for the perfect backdrop no matter what the weather was doing. Anna was getting ready in one of the beautiful rooms at the manor, and she looked absolutely stunning, calm and collected, as she prepared for her big moment. Shane, meanwhile, was just as relaxed and excited, and the two of them couldn’t stop giggling as they exchanged vows. It was a lovely, light-hearted ceremony full of warmth.

Rain, Rain, Go Away
I have to admit, I spent a good part of the morning praying to the weather gods for just 15 minutes of clear skies. After the ceremony, it seemed like my prayers were finally answered! The rain miraculously stopped just long enough for us to head outside and grab some outdoor shots. The grounds of Greenway Manor are simply breathtaking, so I was thrilled to get some photos of Shane and Anna wandering through the greenery, taking in the fresh post-rain air.

Creative Indoor Photography at Greenway Manor
Even with the brief break in the weather, we had to get creative with some indoor shots. On days like this, it’s a blessing to know some off-camera flash techniques, and we definitely put them to good use inside the charming hotel. The atmosphere in Greenway Manor is so cozy, with its elegant interiors and warm lighting, that it was the perfect setting for some intimate and creative shots.

A Truly Special Day
Despite the unpredictable weather, Shane and Anna’s wedding turned out to be a day full of laughter, love, and those little moments that make weddings so special. The team at Greenway Manor Hotel were amazing throughout, making sure everything ran smoothly, rain or shine. I want to give a huge thank you to the staff for their incredible hospitality, and of course, a big thanks to Shane and Anna for allowing me to capture their unforgettable day. If you're planning your own Waterford wedding, I’d love to capture the magic of your day at Greenway Manor.
