Into the Wild: Eloping in Killarney’s Forest & Lakes

  • Historic Architecture

Set in the heart of County Kerry, where ancient forests meet still waters and mountains fade into mist, Killarney offers one of Ireland’s most enchanting and soulful elopement experiences. Here, among the lakes, trails, and timeless ruins of Killarney National Park, your love story unfolds in a landscape that feels poetic, cinematic, and deeply Irish.

Your day begins with relaxed morning preparations — perhaps with hair and makeup arranged through one of my trusted local stylists — at your hotel or cozy hideaway near Killarney town. From there, we’ll journey into the heart of the National Park, where winding woodland paths, golden light, and mountain reflections create the perfect setting for your vows. You might choose to say “I do” beside the serene Muckross Lake, beneath the ancient arches of Muckross Abbey, or among the moss-covered oaks of the Killarney forest — each spot steeped in Irish history and quiet magic.

After your ceremony, we’ll explore Killarney’s most cinematic landscapes — from the breathtaking views of the Gap of Dunloe to the tranquil shores of Lough Leane, and perhaps even a stroll near Ross Castle, where legend and light meet on the water’s edge. As it’s my home county, I know all the hidden gems — secret trails, wild viewpoints, and places where the mountains seem to hold their breath — ensuring your photos feel as authentic and awe-inspiring as the scenery itself.

As the day softens, we’ll return to Killarney town to wrap up your celebration with a pint (or two) at Reidy’s Bar, one of Killarney’s most iconic pubs. Between the hum of live music, the warmth of locals, and the perfect pour of Guinness in hand, it’s the ultimate Irish ending — relaxed, joyful, and full of character.

This package includes photography coverage, all planning and consultation services, your celebrant/officiant, professional hair stylist and makeup artist, and your florist providing a custom bouquet and buttonhole, along with all required permits for each location along the route. Every detail is handled with care, making your experience beautifully organized and completely stress-free.

You’ll also receive all your images in high resolution, fully edited and ready to print, along with a sneak peek gallery within 5 days of your elopement.

If you’d like to elevate your experience further, optional add-ons — such as drone coverage, a Super 8 film, musician, or extra photography hours — can be arranged through my trusted local network, each chosen for their warmth, creativity, and Irish spirit.

This is an elopement for couples who crave adventure, stillness, and connection — a day woven together with forest light, ancient stone, and the wild beauty of Killarney’s lakes and mountains.
