Mara & Billy – Candlelit Wedding At The Franciscan Abbey & Middleton Park House In Ireland

This beautiful wedding at the historic Multyfarnham Franciscan Friary in the Irish countryside was an unforgettable celebration. The reception at the meticulously restored Middleton Park House Hotel provided the perfect backdrop, with its grand staircase and stunning artwork. Despite typical Irish weather, the sun shone just as the radiant bride, Mara, prepared for a small collection of wedding portraits.

The lively mix of Irish and Brazilian traditions, heartfelt moments, and a friendly dog added to the charm. Mara and Billy’s love was celebrated in an intimate, fun, and emotional day—perfectly captured in these timeless memories.

Thank you again Mara & Billy for choosing me to share in this special moment of your lives. And congratulations on the new addition to your family. Dorota and I will certainly visit you one day and naturally, we would love to welcome your family into our home here in Prague as well.

Until then, I wish you both much love, happiness and success. Kurt
