There are some stunning Castle hotels in Ireland and we have been delighted to shoot several of them over the past few years.
Last week brought us back down to Dromoland Castle Hotel & Country Club – a luxurious, elegant 5 star hotel in County Clare – where they needed some new images produced for their marketing & advertising material – to show not only the new look of their adjoining Country Club bar…
.. and restaurant…
.. but also their newly decorated bedroom suites as well.
Anyway, all went according to plan at first; however, the little snug/library area in the clubhouse proved a waiting game for us – as we felt it was important to capture a cozy relaxed ambiance…
..but of all times, the weather was sunny. And so we just had to sit it out, while Carl poked the fire a few times, as he acted the part of the would-be model…
.. until the sky darkened.
But hopefully, it was well worth the wait…
.. as who wouldn’t want to relax in front of that roaring fire – especially at this time of year, here in Ireland!
The following day – as well as shooting many of their luxury bedroom suites…
.. which as you can see here…
.. are simply stunning – we also shot their new Presidential suite…
.. which had a suitably luxurious new bathroom fitted.
So once again, it was all about team work…
.. and getting the right sort of ambience – lighting, candles, roses, champagne, etc, etc – all of which played their role, to achieve that all important result, where potential guests look at the final image…
.. and say: “I want to be there“ 
So a big ‘Thank you’ to Mark, the Manager, and all his highly professional team for looking after us so well – it truly was a wonderful shoot – and we hope we managed to capture not only the decor but also the atmosphere, for all the world to see what an amazing place Dromoland Castle is famous for.
