Three Castle Head Elopement in West Cork | Sarah & Fred’s Wild Irish Love Story


If you’re dreaming about a Three Castle Head elopement, let this be your sign to stop scrolling and just do it.

Sarah and Fred travelled from Canada to West Cork with their favourite humans to celebrate in one of the wildest and most beautiful places in Ireland. And honestly, it felt like something out of a rom-com, girlies.


The wind was bellowing so much that it made the harp play music unaided. Ancient ruins sitting above the Atlantic. Happy tears. Big laughs.


The kind of day that reminds you weddings don’t need to be huge productions to feel important, and I mean that from the most sincere place in my soul.


This is exactly why I love eloping in Ireland.

A Relaxed & Emotional Three Castle Head Elopement


Sarah and Fred wanted their wedding to feel like them. No stress. No awkward posing. No rushing from one thing to another.

Just good people, beautiful scenery, and a day they could actually be present for. Their day was planned by the amazing team at Eloping in Ireland, who are absolute pros at creating relaxed destination elopements here and making it stress-free for couples.


Hair was by Lynsey O’Leary, makeup by Niamh Murphy, and honestly, Sarah looked incredible against the dramatic West Cork landscape, soft, timeless and effortless. Their ceremony was led by John Burns, with harpist Aishling Lyons playing while the Atlantic crashed below the cliffs. Not gonna lie… it was one of those moments where everyone got a bit emotional.


DG Video captured everything so beautifully alongside me, and the whole day just felt calm, intentional and full of love.
