Rachel and Jack's wedding at Dunmore House hotel by Sarah Kate Photography
West Cork Wild Atlantic Way Wedding - when the sun shines there's no better place to be!
The funny thing about this wedding was I wasn't meant to shoot it at all, R & J had another wedding photographer booked, who at the last moment couldn't shoot the wedding, which is where I stepped in! I know the couple were a little anxious over this so we had some nice chats ahead of the wedding to allay any fears! Thankfully Rachel and Jack's cliff-top wedding at Dunmore House Hotel, with its breathtaking views overlooking the wild Atlantic waves of Inchydoney strand, was nothing short of magical. And I am so grateful I got to be part of their West Cork Wedding.
The sun bathed the ceremony in a warm glow as the couple exchanged vows against the stunning backdrop of the rugged coastline. The crashing waves providing natural music, creating an unforgettable atmosphere.
The celebration continued into the evening with a reception that perfectly blended elegance and the untamed beauty of the surroundings. Jack, quiet as a lamb all day surprised me with the funniest grooms speech, he had everyone in stitches. The day was a true reflection of love, nature, and the union of two souls on the edge of the world, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
Lots of Love

Client feedback
Sarah Kate did an absolutely phenomenal job as our photographer on the day of our wedding.
She blended right in with our guests, and got some amazing pictures. We couldn't have had a better person to have with us on the day. She got an excellent blend of posed and candid photos, and I couldn't recommend her more!!!

Inchydoney Beach, renowned for its pristine white sands and turquoise waters, adds a touch of coastal romance to wedding photos. The Galley Head Lighthouse, perched majestically on the cliffs, offers a dramatic and unique backdrop, creating an atmosphere of both grandeur and intimacy.
