Ravensdale, Co. Louth
Set inside Ravensdale Forest with the Cooley and Slieve Gullion Mountains as a backdrop, Carrickdale Hotel & Spa gives us some of the most dramatic natural scenery of any venue we shoot at.
We've photographed and filmed several weddings hereThe hotel sits surrounded by the Cooley Peninsula and Slieve Gullion — genuinely rare scenery for an Irish wedding venue, and a gift for wide landscape shots.
The Serenity Spa's outdoor hot tub looks straight out over the gardens and mountains — a favourite spot for relaxed, unplanned moments the day after.
With that many rooms, entire wedding parties can stay together and keep the celebration going well past the reception.
The legendary Ring of Gullion is minutes away, and the medieval village of Carlingford is a short drive — both worth knowing about for couples wanting extra photo locations.
In summer, Carrickdale offers a garden bar and barbecue for a relaxed second-day celebration — a nice, informal contrast to the main event.
As a family-run hotel, the team's personal attention tends to come through in how the day is run — and how relaxed everyone feels in front of the camera.
Let's talk about capturing your day here — photography, video, or both.
