As Wedding photographer; I took private shots. It will remain a unique experience for me as I wait for the big one.

The bride, beginning with Vanessa, started wearing simple yet sophisticated outfits in one of the estate’s quaint cottages. It was inside the castle.

Her entourage wore their dresses exactly suitable for the ambiance of the castle. The outdoor photos of the castle and the lake were simply magical!

The joy could be seen when they drank champagne and awaited the holy words or pledges. Upon turning to the groom’s preparation, I saw elegance.

The dress was an elegant match for his perfectly fitted suit.

Adding to the excited feeling were the smiling groomsmen full of joy and charm. Ensuring that the photo session is a pleasure without end. It was time therefore to make a short and merry visit to the castle before proceeding to church.

Taking candid shots, using some of the unique venues in the estate.

Castle Leslie Wedding– Castle Wedding Ceremony

The simplicity like Vanessa’s wedding gown made it look unique or elegant.

She was dressed in cascading layers of rhinestone-encrusted tulle that accentuated her bosom creating a very beautiful sight.

It only drizzled for a moment and then the sun shone upon the earth, making it seem to have a glowing halo.

It represents itself through the timeless architecture of St. Salvator’s Church located in this place. This place will make the ideal setting for a wedding because it is among the most romantic places in Europe which all lovers should visit.

This gave the church as the venue, its unique look since it provided a contrasting but complementing setting to the wedding colour which would preserve the memories of the day.

When Vanessa entered the church hall, there weren’t any compliments left. Her charm and grace were undeniable amidst the elegance of the castle’s architecture that dates back centuries.

The beaming smile on the groom as his most beautiful bride descended by handshake with her father. To say, they had kind and true love in their hearts.

The couple crowned their great day with a spectacular departure from the reception in a fabulous vintage 1949 Rolls Royce limousine.

The wedding took place in a Castle which has the old world touch and had both vintage elements and current festivities.

Such architecture and antiques created a colorful canvas that one would perhaps anticipate for a ballroom reception.

On the flip side, though, there was a colorful and lit-up dance floor that had transformed such an unusual location into an exciting party point.

First, I took a few peaceful pictures outside before the energy of the reception overtook it. Moreover, their pictures at the lakeside, standing in front of the castle simply looked bewitching.

The bride and her maids, as well as the groom and his groomsmen, were not left behind. Their photos will always remind us of those moments; how they sounded like laughter, joy, and beauty around them.

The castle was a part of each of their outdoor photos, thus giving them a dreamy feel during the wedding.

It was such merry-making at that reception. Everything was in order starting from the drinks that were flowing unrestrained and the three-tiered cake at the centre of everything.

Dancing, eating, and all-round joy made that evening very memorable for everybody who attended.

If you like castle weddings, here is another amazing wedding that I was privileged enough to photograph in the beautiful grounds and inside the majestic Markree castle.
