Old Court Chapel Wedding - Rachael & Greg
Old Court Chapel is a hidden gem of a wedding venue in Strangford, Co. Down. When Rachael and Greg were married there last summer, we were blown away by the beauty and easy hospitality of the place.
That summer, Claire had been researching her family history and stumbled on a link with Old Court. At one time her family had been boat builders on the estate, working in the same boathouse that’s now used as the bridal suite. Sian and Peter from Old Court took us into their home to show us old pictures, and invited us down to stay in the boathouse. It was very moving to walk around in the footsteps of ancestors. So to say that we feel a connection with this place is an understatement.
Rachael and Greg were a joy to be around. Their enthusiasm was infectious and I remember photographing the day with a huge smile on my face. Their reception by the side of the lough, with the sun beaming down through shady trees was idyllic. A laid-back day, full of warmth and generosity - like the spirit of Old Court itself.
A huge thanks to Rachael and Greg, their families and friends for having us.
