Because it’s not just a photo session. It’s an experience.
Imagine arriving with your photographer, welcomed with a chilled bottle of bubbles to toast your love. You wander hand in hand through perfectly kept gardens, heritage buildings, and hidden corners, knowing this space is yours, and yours alone, for the next three hours.
'The variety of locations and backdrops make Larchfield Estate the ideal backdrop for an engagement photoshoot session' Brendan Gallagher Photography
No strangers in the background. No rushed sessions. Just privacy, romance, and stunning backdrops for your love story.
And all of this for £700, which includes:
It’s the ultimate way to mark your engagement in style.
For couples searching for the best engagement shoot locations in Northern Ireland, Larchfield offers unmatched privacy, beauty, and atmosphere.
Here’s what your day could look like:
You arrive at our heritage gates, passing our welcome team of Alpaca’s and Donkeys, nerves dancing with excitement. The long tree-lined driveway leads you toward the heart of the estate, where the world feels a little slower, a little more magical.
Your photographer captures those first candid smiles as you pop your prosecco (or not alcoholic alternative!), and laughter bubbles up with it. You clink glasses, sip, and suddenly those camera jitters disappear.
Then, the adventure begins. For up to three full hours, you wander through the estate, each corner a picture-perfect backdrop, each moment a memory in the making.
If you’ve brought along your dog, they’re welcome to join the fun. (We love how pets make shoots even more personal!) Want to include your videographer or social media content creator? Absolutely, bring them along.
And if the heavens open? Don’t worry for a second. Some of our most romantic photos have been taken in the rain! Picture yourselves laughing under an umbrella, raindrops catching the light like diamonds. And if you’d rather keep cozy, the Gardener’s Tool Shed, our fire-lit Tack Room, and the fairy-lit Greenhouse become hero spots in wet weather—utterly dreamy and atmospheric.
Whatever the season, Larchfield Estate is one of the most photogenic places for engagement photography in Northern Ireland — each time of year creating a unique canvas for your love story.
The greenhouse comes alive with wisteria in April and May—a cascade of purple blooms overhead as sunlight dances through the glass. Our walled gardens are a canvas of fresh colour, soft pinks and greens perfect for light, airy portraits.
Long golden evenings, lush lawns, and flowers in full bloom. Alpacas and donkeys roam nearby, happy to photobomb your shoot in the sweetest way.
Warm amber leaves, rustic stone walls, and the glow of the barns create a moody, romantic vibe. The rhododendron bushes add rich pops of colour—perfect for couples who love texture and depth.
Frosted gardens, the greenhouse twinkling with fairy lights, and the crackling fire in the Tack Room. Imagine pulling close under a blanket while the camera catches those intimate moments. Pure magic.
Where will your love story be captured?
Every corner of Larchfield Estate has a story to tell, and now, it can be part of yours.
Why let the day end after your shoot? Turn it into a celebration by staying onsite:
Waking up together on the estate adds an extra layer of magic. Your engagement shoot becomes a full experience you’ll remember forever.
Even though engagement shoots are new, couples who’ve celebrated with us have shared words that say it all:
“The grounds and rooms are stunning, and our photos are simply gorgeous. The accommodation is superb, especially Rose Cottage with its bath for two & lovely breakfast hamper. I would thoroughly recommend Larchfield to all.”
“The grounds are simply breathtaking, and the accommodation was amazing. This was an experience we will never forget and thank everyone at Larchfield.”
“The gardens looked so well in our photos, and we are constantly being asked where we had them taken.”
“Without being bias, the venue itself is the most beautiful, perfect and picturesque place. All the brick in the barns and the huge gardens made for some amazing photos.”
When you book your engagement shoot, these words become your reality.
We value the intimacy and exclusivity that makes Larchfield so special. That’s why we only take on a limited number of engagement shoots each year. This ensures that every couple gets the attention, privacy, and pristine grounds they deserve.
