Your wedding day is one of life’s most significant milestones, and every detail should reflect the beauty and emotion of the occasion. At Fota Island Resort, the elegance of our surroundings offers an abundance of breathtaking photography locations that seamlessly blend timeless romance with natural splendour.
Begin your day at Gardener’s Cottage, a charming period-style residence nestled at the main gates of the resort. Surrounded by vibrant seasonal flowerbeds, the cottage offers a picturesque setting that changes with the year, providing a soft, floral backdrop that feels intimate yet effortlessly grand.
A recent addition to the resort’s estate is our Tree Regeneration Garden, a gently winding path lined with newly planted trees, each one dedicated to a couple married at Fota Island Resort. This space not only offers a tranquil, meaningful setting for portraits but also symbolises a lasting commitment to both love and sustainability.
Tucked behind the Smith Barry Ballroom lies the Smith Barry Garden, a manicured, sun-kissed lawn that lends itself beautifully to cocktail receptions, outdoor garden ceremonies and candid moments with loved ones. Meticulously maintained by our gardening team, the garden’s discreet elegance pairs perfectly with golden-hour light, creating a painterly backdrop for quiet embraces and shared laughter.
For those seeking grandeur, Fota House and Gardens provide a stately alternative. Our neighbours on the island, the historic architecture, sweeping lawns, and curated gardens offer a sense of heritage and opulence that elevate any wedding album.
Lastly, for couples who wish to frame their love story with a view, The Clubhouse overlooking the 18th green is both refined and relaxed. With panoramic vistas of the golf course and a sense of serenity that only comes with open space, it is an ideal location to steal a moment away together and reflect.
From heritage to nature, elegance to emotion, Fota Island Resort offers an array of photography locations as diverse and meaningful as the couples who celebrate here. Each setting captures not only the visual beauty of your day, but the essence of your story.
