When it comes to your wedding day, the moments you capture are as important as the memories you make. Every couple dreams of a gallery that tells their love story in the most beautiful way possible. At The Kingsley, we are privileged to be nestled in the heart of Cork city, surrounded by some of the most picturesque locations for wedding photography. Here are five key spots, all within easy reach of the hotel, that promise to make your wedding album truly unforgettable.
1. The Banks of the River Lee
Step just outside The Kingsley and you are greeted by the tranquil flow of the River Lee. The gentle movement of the water, the lush greenery, and the historic bridges create a timeless backdrop for romantic portraits. Whether it is a quiet moment together or a joyful group shot, the riverbank has a way of capturing the emotion of the day in every frame.
2. Shakey Bridge
A short stroll away, the iconic Shakey Bridge offers a touch of culture and Cork charm. Its delicate white structure and views over the river make it a favourite for couples looking for something unique. The bridge’s gentle sway and height always translate beautifully in photos, adding a sense of fun and movement to your gallery.
3. Fitzgerald’s Park
Just beyond the bridge, Fitzgerald’s Park is a haven of colour and calm. With manicured gardens, tree-lined avenues, and the famous fountain, this park is perfect for capturing both candid and posed moments. The changing seasons bring new palettes, from spring blossoms to autumn gold, ensuring your photos feel personal and full of life.
4. University College Cork
For couples seeking a blend of history and grandeur, UCC’s campus is a dream come true. The stone archways, leafy grounds, and the beautiful Honan Chapel provide a sense of tradition and romance. No stranger to wedding photoshoots, UCC is a place where every corner tells a story, making your wedding portraits feel timeless and elegant.
5. Lee Fields
For those who love wide open spaces and natural beauty, Lee Fields offers sweeping views and a peaceful atmosphere. The long grasses, wildflowers, and river vistas create a sense of adventure. Perfect for all, including any four-legged guests, Lee Fields is a perfect setting for relaxed, intimate photos that capture the joy of your day.
