This dreamy photo is the winner of The Rochestown Park Hotel’s wedding competition

By Yay Cork April 10, 2025

Brought to you by The Rochestown Park Hotel. 

It’s a fitting launch for a dreamy new concept.

Cork’s Rochestown Park Hotel has announced the winner of its Happily Ever Afters wedding competition as part of the grand unveiling of a beautiful new wedding offering.

Realising, Perfect, Happily Ever Afters (RPH) is a new brand that promises to turn your dream wedding into a reality, crafting the perfect setting for your happily ever after.

The winning couple this year are Fran and Seanie Barry, whose epic photograph, taken on the hotel’s sparkling dance floor by Blarney-based photographer John Sexton of John Sexton Photography,  has scooped them a two night luxury break at the Lyrath Estate, Kilkenny. The winning photographer will also receive a stay at the stunning hotel.

“Judging was extremely difficult due to the high number of beautiful photos entered but finally judges managed to narrow it down.” they told us.

Runners-up in the competition were Emma and Pàdraig Smiddy with photography by Sheenagh Morley of Bismark Wedding Photography (below right) and Karen O’Neill and Nora Dennehy, who were captured by Peter Bell Photography (below left).

With its new wedding brand, Rochestown Park Hotel reaffirms its commitment to creating extraordinary wedding experiences that reflect the uniqueness of every couple.
