Ireland Wedding: Bantry House Estate

This destination wedding in Bantry House in Cork, Ireland was inspiring, breathtaking, and once-in-a-lifetime.

This wedding was an opportunity for Laura and Chase to plan a weeklong international adventure for 50 of their nearest and dearest. Laura has deep connections to Ireland, and she was excited to share her favorite pubs, national parks, and traditions with her chosen family. Again and again, I am reminded that the beauty of a destination wedding is the large amount of quality time you get to spend with your guests.

Bantry House, an old estate famous for its lush gardens, could not be a more romantic backdrop for a wedding celebration. The ceremony was held in the garden while dinner and dancing took place in the Victorian rooms inside. Talk about life unfolding in a historical period piece.

This international wedding was the perfect occasion to use Super 8mm, an old, dreamy film stock for an old dreamy place. Check out the amazing short film we created for them below, along with some of my favorite photographs from their relaxed and rambunctious celebration.
