Wedding morning preparations at Rathsallagh House

Wedding mornings preparations can be quite hectic and stressful at times. Most couples these days decide to start the wedding day at their chosen venue. It has lots of benefits, some obvious, some not so. The biggest advantage is the time saving. No road journeys if the ceremony will be onsite. Another one is space. Don’t underestimate this. Rathsallagh house has a spacious bridal preparation suite called Eagle Lodge that provides ample room for brides, bridesmaids and family members to have that make-up and hair done in comfort. Another plus is the on-site wedding coordinator, there to lend a hand with any last minute details.

The Groom and his Grooms men have their own space too! This is a big bonus! As a wedding photographer, I can pop between both sides of the wedding party, capturing all the “getting ready images”.

 Rathsallagh house wedding photography Locations

There is no shortage of great wedding photography locations in and around Rathsallagh House. The walled garden is by far my favourite. It has everything we need for some stunning backdrops. It always seems to be in bloom no matter the time of year. Furthermore, it’s a great location for a first look as it’s very private and peaceful. Just outside the walled garden, there is a beautiful woodland area which is full of bluebells in early spring.
