The Perfect Setting: Adare Manor, Ireland

When it comes to luxury wedding venues in Ireland, Adare Manor is truly in a league of its own. This iconic estate, surrounded by lush gardens and breathtaking views of the Irish countryside, offers a setting that feels both grand and intimate. The manor’s elegant architecture and tranquil surroundings provide the ideal backdrop for a destination wedding that’s as beautiful as it is memorable.

The grand staircase, the sweeping lawns, and the charming gardens made for the perfect spots to capture the couple’s timeless portraits. The serene river views and expansive grounds only added to the magic of the day, offering endless opportunities for stunning shots that truly showcased the beauty of the venue and the couple’s connection.

A Bride with Style: Olivia Amato

The bride, Olivia Amato, is not only a vision of beauty and grace, but also one of Peloton’s most celebrated fitness instructors. Her strength and energy were evident throughout the entire day, and it was clear that her Peloton crew was just as fit and stylish as she is. I’ve never seen such a vibrant and active group of guests—every one of them brought their A-game, both in style and energy. Whether it was on the dancefloor or mingling during the cocktail hour, Olivia’s guests exuded the same level of vitality and enthusiasm she brings to her fitness classes. It’s safe to say that this wedding had the most stylish and active crowd I’ve ever had the pleasure of filming!

A Flawless Ceremony at Holy Trinity Church

Olivia and Daniel’s church ceremony took place at the beautiful Holy Trinity Church, a short distance from Adare Manor. The traditional setting of this intimate church, combined with the couple’s emotional vows, created a magical moment. It was one of those ceremonies that felt so personal, and I had the honour of capturing every emotion—from the couple’s first glance as Olivia walked down the aisle to the heartfelt speeches that followed.

Reception: Elegance Meets Celebration

Following the ceremony, the celebration continued in the grand ballroom of Adare Manor, where guests were treated to a reception filled with elegance and fun. The team at Olivia Buckley International designed the space to perfection, with lush floral arrangements from The French Touch Florist, soft lighting, and chic decor that created a romantic atmosphere. Every detail, from the stationery by Appleberry Atelier to the catering by Adare Manor, was thoughtfully curated to enhance the experience.

The couple’s first dance in the ballroom was nothing short of magical, set against the grandeur of the crystal chandeliers and high ceilings. As the night unfolded, the energy in the room was electric, with The Event Band keeping guests on their feet all night long. It was a celebration filled with laughter, dancing, and unforgettable moments that I was honoured to capture on film.
