Venue Spotlight

Wedding Photography at Carrickdale Hotel & Spa

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 here

A Few Fun Facts

What makes this venue special, from what we've seen behind the camera
⛰️

Mountain Views on Every Side

The 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.

⛳️

An Outdoor Hot Tub With a View

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.

🏘

110+ Bedrooms on Site

With that many rooms, entire wedding parties can stay together and keep the celebration going well past the reception.

🏙

Steps from Celtic Mythology

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.

🌜

Summer Garden BBQs

In summer, Carrickdale offers a garden bar and barbecue for a relaxed second-day celebration — a nice, informal contrast to the main event.

🌴

Family-Owned Throughout

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.
