Tracey & Shane chose one of East Cork’s most beautiful coastal locations for their wedding day — the stunning Bayview Hotel in Ballycotton. Perched on the cliffs overlooking Ballycotton Bay, the venue offers breathtaking views across the Atlantic and the charming fishing village below, creating the perfect setting for a relaxed seaside celebration.
From the moment guests arrived, there was a sense of excitement in the air. The Bayview Hotel has a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and with the sea stretching endlessly outside the windows, it felt like the perfect place for Tracey & Shane to begin their next chapter together.
After their ceremony, guests gathered on the terrace overlooking the ocean, enjoying drinks and soaking in the incredible coastal views. Ballycotton has a unique charm — a peaceful fishing village surrounded by rugged coastline — and it gave the whole day a beautifully relaxed feel.
For portraits, the surrounding area offered the perfect backdrop. The dramatic cliffs, the harbour below, and the soft Atlantic light created an incredible setting for photographs. Tracey & Shane took a short walk along the coastline together, giving us the chance to capture some quiet moments away from the celebrations while the waves rolled in below.
Back at the Bayview Hotel, the evening continued with laughter, heartfelt speeches, and plenty of dancing. The intimate feel of the venue meant everyone felt part of the celebration, with family and friends gathered together overlooking the sea.
Tracey & Shane’s wedding was the perfect blend of coastal beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and genuine moments shared with the people closest to them.
Thank you both for trusting me to capture such a special day.
