Kilkea Castle

Sammy & Ryan had a stylish & elegant celebration in the historic Kilkea Castle in Co. Kildare, Ireland. Kilkea Castle is steeped in history, known as one of the oldest inhabited castles in Ireland, with a history dating back to 1180.

Sammy who was born in the USA  met Ryan, an Irishman in Las Vegas, whilst Sammy was Irish dancing in a show. Their unique love story was a pleasure to photograph and their wedding day was exquisite in every way.

They both spent the night before their wedding in Kilkea Castle so they were onsite the next morning for their wedding prep. Each preparing for their day in separate courtyard cottages on the castle grounds.

Their ceremony took place in the beautiful Church of the Assumption in Castledermot which is a short 8 minute drive from the Castle. After the ceremony we spent some time in the historic church ruins capturing some intimate couple photographs along with some bridal party photos.

Upon returning to Kilkea Castle, their guests enjoyed a drinks reception on the lawn followed by a delicious meal in the dinning hall. They partied the night away with a fusion of traditional Irish songs and modern classics. It was a joy to be chosen as their wedding photographers and we loved putting their beautiful blog together. x





Kind words from

Sammy & Ryan

Weddings by KARA were the dream team wedding photographers I dreamed of. The whole process was amazing and I am obsessed with every single photo we received and we got them back so quickly! I would book them a million times over and couldn't recommend them more for your wedding. Thank you both for everything. We are so grateful to have these photos to reminisce on for the next 50+ years!

Portraits

We decided to spend some time taking portraits in historic ruins near the church grounds. When Sammy had conducted a site visit she spotted them and fell in love. We then travelled back to the castle to capture some epic couple portraits in Kilkea.
