Golden Leaves & Grand Entrances: An Autumn Wedding at Martinstown House

There is a specific, quiet magic to autumn in Ireland. The light turns golden and low, the air gets crisp, and the landscape paints itself in shades of amber and rust. It is a season that demands to be documented with a cinematic eye.

This past autumn, our team had the privilege of capturing Niall and Julia’s celebration at the exquisite Martinstown House in Co. Kildare. As a wedding photography and videography team in Ireland, we find that working in tandem allows us to create a seamless narrative. We don't just capture how the day looked, but how it felt—the movement, the sounds, and the stillness in between.

The Narrative: Photo & Film

Martinstown House, a family-run country venue, provided the perfect backdrop for a day defined by understated elegance and genuine connection. The weather was on our side—a calm, beautiful autumn day that allowed natural light to flood our lenses.

Working as a dual team allowed us to document the atmosphere without intrusion. While one of us captured the stillness of a portrait, the other caught the subtle motion of the wind in the trees or the fleeting glance shared between guests. The result is a gallery and a film that speak the same visual language: candid, emotive, and editorial.

A Touch of the Unexpected

While the vibe was relaxed and organic, there was a brilliant flash of personality that broke the mold—a dream scenario for wedding videography. Niall made his entrance to the ceremony not in a vintage car, but in a fire truck.

It was the perfect "Anti-Bride" moment: unexpected, bold, and entirely true to his story. The roar of the engine and the vibrant red of the truck against the autumnal greens created a striking contrast, adding a layer of adrenaline to the cinematic edit and a bold edge to the photography.

Capturing the Connection

The day was filled with tight embraces, laughter that echoed across the grounds, and the kind of unposed moments that define our documentary style.

To Niall and Julia: thank you for trusting our team with your memories. Your day was a reminder of why we love combining motion and stills to tell a complete story.
