Caoimhe embraced a romantic and elegant autumnal theme, blending lush greenery with soft white and ivory florals throughout the décor. The ceremony space featured warm wood paneling, fairy lights, and cascading foliage, creating a magical woodland atmosphere indoors. Bridesmaids wore deep purple dresses, adding a rich seasonal contrast to the overall palette, while table settings were adorned with crystal glassware, vintage-inspired candle holders, and classic white linens.

The wedding was beautifully captured by Stefano Ferrier. He says:
“The photography style for this wedding was natural, emotive, and story-driven. I focused on documenting genuine moments with a warm, cinematic tone. I aimed to blend into the background and capture the day as it unfolded. The golden October light added warmth and depth to the outdoor portraits, particularly the fun and lively shots of the couple and their wedding party in front of Darver Castle’s charming stone façade.”
Richard and Caoimhe say:
“Stefano was absolutely brilliant. Such easy, efficient, organised communication from the start even before we met you in person. Our wedding photos are just wonderful – exactly what we wanted for our special day. Stefano was incredibly professional, discrete and a lovely calm quiet presence, capturing the most wonderful candid, hidden moments on our special day. We didn’t know he was there and such a brilliant day – loved re-living it through all the amazing photos.”
Personal touches were evident in many aspects of the celebration. The table settings included customised name cards and QR codes for the menu, blending tradition with a modern twist. The ceremony felt deeply personal, with a heartfelt exchange of vows in a cosy indoor space filled with twinkling lights and floral arches. Richard and Caoimhe’s relaxed and joyful energy set the tone for the entire day.
The weather was mild and beautifully autumnal, no rain, soft light, and just enough chill to keep things comfortable. The outdoor session benefited from lovely natural lighting, perfect for romantic portraits and group shots.
Richard and Caoimhe chose to have a live wedding band for the evening party, and it was a big hit with the guests. The energy on the dance floor was fantastic, with everyone up dancing and enjoying the music well into the night. The band really helped create a fun and lively atmosphere to end the day on a high note.
The photographer, Stefano Ferrier, says: “What stood out about this wedding was the perfect mix of elegance and warmth. The soft October light and rich seasonal colours added to the charm of Darver Castle, while the couple’s joyful presence and thoughtful details created a truly memorable and heartfelt celebration.”
