Limerick Wedding Photographer | Adare, City & County Limerick Venues (2025/2026)
Limerick gives you options. Grand castles. Elegant hotels. Forest parks. The River Shannon. Villages with real soul. If you’re getting married anywhere in Limerick City or County Limerick, I’ll photograph it in a relaxed, story-first way — real candids, bold portraits when the light’s right, and zero faff.

Why Limerick works for weddings
Variety in 30 minutes: castles in Adare, river views in the city, forests in Curraghchase, mountains in Ballyhoura.
Venues that care: from Adare Manor to Springfield Castle to No. 1 Pery Square, teams here know how to run a day.
Weather-proof: covered cloisters, old stone, glass atriums, city arcades — we’ll always have a plan B (and C).
Hit list: the Limerick areas I cover (and love)
Adare village – Adare Manor, Fitzgerald’s Woodlands House, Dunraven Arms, Holy Trinity Abbey.
Limerick City – King John’s Castle, People’s Park, The Milk Market, The Strand boardwalk, Georgian Pery Square.
Castletroy & UL – Plassey House lawns, Living Bridge, campus woods.
Ballyhoura & Kilfinane side – mountain views, trails, Castle Oliver area.
Newcastle West – Desmond Castle & gardens, town park, River Arra nooks.
Glin & Foynes – Glin Castle, estuary light, quiet roads with hedgerows.
Rathkeale / Askeaton – friary ruins, river bridges, heritage spots.
Kilmallock / Bruree / Bruff – medieval walls, lanes, abbey stones.
Curraghchase Forest Park – lakes, tall trees, golden evening shade.
Lough Gur – ancient landscape, lake edge, dreamy dusk.
Want cliffs or wild Atlantic beaches too? I hop over the county line all the time — see Dingle and Ring of Kerry for ideas.
Top Limerick wedding venues (by vibe)
Luxury & castles
Adare Manor (iconic, manicured grounds, unreal interiors)
Glin Castle (private, timeless)
Springfield Castle (estate, forests, courtyard light)
Elegant hotels
Dunraven Arms, Fitzgerald’s Woodlands House (Adare)
The Savoy, The Strand, No.1 Pery Square (City)
Country houses & estates
Springfort Hall (nearby in Mallow, pairs well with Limerick city prep)
Castle Oliver (Ballyhoura side)
Mustard Seed at Ballingarry
Outdoorsy
Curraghchase Forest Park, Lough Gur, Ballyhoura trails, Shannon river walks.
Each of these pairs nicely with a civil ceremony, a church, or a registry office — and every one has a solid rain plan.
My approach (so you can relax)
Documentary first. Real moments over forced poses.
Fast, light portraits. We steal 10–15 minutes when the light is perfect; you get back to the craic.
Local knowledge. Best corners at King John’s, quiet lanes in Adare, where the wind behaves at Glin, where to hide from rain at UL.
Fair pricing. See wedding packages — everything is clear, travel sorted, no sneaky add-ons.
Quick delivery. Sneak peeks in days. Full gallery fast, never rushed.
Sample timelines (pick your flavour)
City + Castle flow (Limerick City)
Morning prep in Georgian townhouse → ceremony at nearby church/registry → portraits at King John’s Castle & river boardwalk → reception at The Strand / Savoy.
Backup if it rains: castle interiors, arcades at The Milk Market, covered entrances along Pery Square.
Adare classic
Ceremony at Holy Trinity → village portraits (use the lanes) → five minutes on the bridge if it’s safe → reception at Adare Manor / Woodlands / Dunraven.
Backup: Adare Manor arches, Woodlands conservatory, hotel lobbies with soft window light.
Country house + forest (Glin / Springfield / Ballyhoura)
Ceremony on site or local church → gardens + forest portraits → golden hour in the fields → courtyard party.
Backup: library rooms, covered walkways, glasshouses, old stone — Limerick is kind to us.

FAQ
How much is a Limerick wedding photographer?
Packages start at weekday micro coverage and go up to full-day with options. See packages for current rates.
Do you cover both Adare and Limerick City?
Yes — and everywhere else in County Limerick: Glin, Newcastle West, Ballyhoura, Kilmallock, Lough Gur, Curraghchase.
Do you work fast so we can enjoy the day?
Absolutely. We plan short portrait windows and keep it easy. You’ll get candids all day, then a quick wander when the light is sweet.
What if it rains?
We prep backups: covered arches, castle interiors, hotel lobbies, forests for shelter. Some of my favourite photos come from “bad” weather.
Do you travel for sessions before the wedding?
Yes — engagement shoots in Adare, City, or Lough Gur are popular. Great way to shake camera nerves.
