A familiar place, a different story

From the first hello
to the last dance.

Wedding photography and film at The Abbey in Athy, County Kildare. Photographs from several of our couples sit alongside Francesca & Ciaran’s trailer, so you can see how different days feel in the same place.

The chapel makes an impression when you first walk in. Then the seats fill, someone catches your eye, and the room becomes yours. Those are the things we look for as well as the setting.

At The Abbey, the day moves from the chapel to the courtyard, the parlour and the evening celebrations. We stay with it. A few photographs together, plenty of time with your guests, and a record of what it felt like to be there.

An exclusive wedding venue in Athy, County Kildare, with a historic chapel, courtyard, Garden Parlour and ballroom. Spaces for the ceremony and the celebrations, all together.

The things that make it yours

A familiar face.
A family tradition.

The photographs should hold onto what matters to you. There isn’t one way for a wedding to look or feel.

Planning your Abbey wedding

A few useful things.

Have you photographed weddings at The Abbey in Athy?

Yes. This page includes photographs from seven Bokeh weddings at The Abbey, alongside Francesca & Ciaran’s wedding trailer.

Can you photograph our ceremony in the chapel?

Yes. We work with the chapel’s available light and follow the ceremony quietly, including the reactions among your guests.

Will we have time to enjoy the drinks reception?

That matters to us too. We’ll plan family photographs and a short session together around your day, keeping time away from your guests to a minimum.

Can you cover family traditions and a tea ceremony?

Absolutely. Tell us what you have planned so we can give those moments the time and attention they deserve. Fiona & Nhan’s photographs here include their tea ceremony.

Where can we see your photography and film collections?

Our collections page has the options and prices. To check availability for your Abbey wedding, send us your date through Check Your Date.
