Wedding Photography at Loughrea Hotel & Spa
Loughrea Hotel & Spa is a special wedding venue for us because it is right here in our local area. Having photographed many celebrations in and around Loughrea, we know how to work efficiently with the surroundings, changing light, and Irish weather while keeping the photography relaxed and enjoyable for every couple.
The hotel offers wonderful opportunities for a varied wedding gallery, from quiet portraits of the couple to natural photographs with family and friends. The nearby lakeside and attractive outdoor locations around Loughrea can also provide beautiful backdrops when time and weather allow. As a husband-and-wife photography team, Joe and Ann-Marie work together to capture the atmosphere, important details and genuine moments of the day from two different perspectives.
A Relaxed Approach to Your Loughrea Hotel Wedding
Our approach is calm, natural, and unobtrusive. We want you to enjoy your wedding day without feeling that you are spending hours posing for photographs. We plan the important family groups and couple portraits carefully, while leaving plenty of room for spontaneous moments, laughter and genuine reactions.
Having two photographers means we can cover different parts of the day at the same time and capture more of the story without disrupting it. While one of us focuses on the couple and their closest family, the other can photograph guests, details and moments happening naturally around the venue.
