Kenmare Wedding Photographer at Dromquinna Manor
a blog about Kealinn and Marks awesome day at dromquinna Manor in the heart of kenmare, Co.Kerry. A black tie wedding with a chilled vibe and touch of documentary wedding photography
I always say this is my dream job so much so it’s almost unfair to call it a job. I loved getting to photograph Kealinn and Mark’s Dromquinna Manor wedding, located in the gorgeous town of Kenmare in County Kerry. The short 4hr and 30 min drive down the road from Cavan in the sunshine was a dream, podcast on the radio and a cappuccino in the cup holder and I was set. I arrived relaxed and on the day, I walked into a getting ready room full of giggles with Kealinn as chilled as they come. a gorgeous outdoor ceremony in the marquee and a reception on the lawn of this outrageous stately home built on the backdrop of stunning views thats draws the tourists to kenmare year in year out. They loved the photos I delivered with Kealinn emailing me “Wow - we love the photos!! Thank you so much, you really captured the day so well. Thanks again for all your time on the day and all the work, they are so amazing and our family have been enjoying so much going through them in the last day! As a documentary wedding photographer thats all I can ask for knowing my couples love what I do :) check out a selection of photos down below
Best Of 2023 Wedding Photography Cavan
2023…. what a year!!! I can honestly say it’s been a year of absolute learning. Whether that is in photography or personally all know is I’ve definitely grown in both. I always stumble on these best of posts just because I put so much of myself into every wedding that I never know what to chose at the end ha but below is a selection of shots from this year they’re in no particular order. I’m so thankful for everyone who put their trust in me this year, but we are only getting started 2024 we are gonna go bigger and better.
Theres been so many wins this year. I got into the I.P.P.V.A, I went to my first DocDay conference and met so many amazing photographers. I can honestly say that this has been the biggest influence so far in my career. I got to do a work shop with the amazing Kevin and Annie Kheffache, two of my biggest influences in wedding photography. I met Dave Cremin who is up there with the best of street photographers in Ireland seeing that man work on the streets was amazing and I really should do a post about my street photography and I built so many relationships with fellow photographers and I feel like I finally found my people.
2023 has been the first full year of Forged In love photography after my rebranding and moving to Co. Cavan wedding photography, I discovered google is a full time job on its own when you own a business ha and I can say my mid year identity crisis is fully behind me. I moved more to a documentary style but I can’t help myself with the creativity sometimes ha but for 2024 my goal is to show people who they are at their wedding so focusing more on the connection and moments between the people in front of the camera.
Everything you see on my website is Real. Real People, Real Moments from real weddings happening in real time. There is no A.I trickery in any of these images (besides tidying up any distracting elements etc )
I’m so thankful to my couples for trusting me to capture the moments that matter the most to them. They are all shot on FujiFilm Cameras between the X-T5 and X-T3. I’m so happy to be going into 2024 with a camera system (I’ve upgraded to 2 X-T5s now :) ) that allows me to get up close and is unobtrusive to people allowing me to shoot weddings in the style I love and I’ve finally settled on my colours that I’m so happy with now. I’ll never stop learning and improving as much as I can as long as people want me to shoot their weddings I’ll bring my personality and style to every wedding!!!

Aoife and Conor. What can I say about these two, funny, loved up and down to just have the best day they possibly could with the people they loved the most. Walking into Aoife’s mums house on the morning of prep and getting probably my fave dress shot I’ve gotten the house just told so many stories, photos on every surface there could be and laughter in the kitchen. Aoife’s brother Conor (or Conor 2 as I was calling him) forever the showman kept everyone entertained the whole day along with Grahams Cheesy Quiz from ceremony giggles to giving it absolute socks on the dance floor this day had it all.

““We booked Andy for our wedding 20th may 2022. It was in glebe house, dowth. Andy fit in with our family and group as soon as he came through the door! He made us feel so at ease as well as sometimes not even realising he was there. It was like having a really talented friend who was able to take the most amazing pictures of us join us for the most special day of our life, not just a photographer.
Andy is fun, creative, nostalgic, romantic and captured us in all our many different faces, he has a very special way of showing you in a photograph. I would highly recommend him for your special day! Wonderful pieces of art you get when you book him as well as fantastic memories.””

Weddings At Dunboyne Castle Hotel, Dunboyne -Dan & Georgia
Dan and Georgia…. From forgiving him for falling asleep before their first date at jimmy Chung’s Chinese in Dublin aged 16 (r.i.p Jimmy Chungs) to saying I do 9 years later. These two knew no matter where they are going in life they’re gonna do it together. Perfectly balanced, a bond most search for their whole lives, the yin to his yang and a shared love for a pint of the black stuff these two are made for each other.
Situated just 20 minutes down the motorway from the Dublin, Dunboyne Castle Hotel & Spa offers a luxurious setting away from the bustling city life. The Tara Suite, can accommodate celebrations with up to 220 of your most awesome and favourite people for you to eat and dance the night away as elegant lighting highlights the high ceiling, covering your reception in a glamorous glow. Intimate ceremonies can take place in the Drawing Room, which features a picturesque fireplace for couples to use as their altar backdrop. A detailed chandelier hangs overhead for a classic aesthetic. The hotel also features 145 bedrooms and suites detailed with modern amenities to give visitors a relaxing overnight stay.

With a dedicated team working to make your big day run as smooth and stress free as I’ve seen, Dunboyne castle is the perfect setting for people looking to get married in Meath.
Dunboyne Castle Hotel is a stunning Georgian mansion, built in 1764. The property has been thoroughly renovated in recent years but retains the charm that makes it so popular among newly engaged couples. The estate also offers a rich history, having been built on the site of the original castle. This was destroyed in the 18th Century Cromwell invasion, and the ruins can still be viewed on the grounds.
However, the rich heritage of the estate is just one of the reasons it has gained a reputation as the top wedding venue in Meath. With a choice between the Georgian Drawing Room and contemporary Tara Ballroom, weddings with up to 220 guests can be held in the hotel. They operate a one wedding a day policy and are delighted to help you celebrate your special day. Discover what’s on offer in the Meath wedding venue, and imagine hosting your celebrations with them.
