Family Vacation Photos at a Castle in Cavan, Ireland with Melinda Gold Photography

There’s something truly special about photographing families while they’re on vacation — everyone’s relaxed, happy, and making memories together in a beautiful place. And when that place happens to be a Castle in Cavan, Ireland? It’s pure magic.

I recently had the joy of photographing the sweetest family during their trip to Ireland who made there way over from Houston to celebrate a friends wedding at Cabra Castle in Cavan, they took the perfect opportunity to get their family vacation photos while all dressed up and feeling good!

With ivy-covered stone walls, secret golden royal rooms, and views of the surrounding countryside, the setting couldn't have been more perfect. The kids were free to explore, the parents got a moment to soak it all in, and together we created some really beautiful memories.

The best part? It didn’t feel like a stiff or overly posed session. We wandered, chatted, and let the natural moments happen — from giggles on the castle steps to quiet hugs in the garden. That’s what I love most about vacation sessions: they’re relaxed, real, and full of connection.

Why choose a castle session in Cavan?
Cavan has some of the most stunning, lesser-known castle locations in Ireland — peaceful, photogenic, and full of character. Whether you’re staying nearby or just passing through, it’s a gorgeous way to remember your time here.

What it’s like to work with me:
I keep things easygoing and fun. No pressure, no awkward posing — just gentle direction to help you feel comfortable and look your best. I’ll guide you through the session while making space for those sweet, spontaneous moments that really tell your family’s story.

If you're planning a trip to Ireland and want to come home with more than just iPhone snapshots, I’d love to help you capture this chapter of your story. Whether it’s a big family vacation or a quiet escape with your little crew, these are the moments worth remembering.

Let’s make some memories.
