A few weeks ago, some friends and I took a short trip out to Gougane Barra. Just about an hour's drive west of Cork city, this beautiful area is one of Ireland's National Parks and is definitely worth a trip if you're looking to get out of the city for a while. The location itself is home to a small iconic church called St Finbarr's oratory, which has been used for many wedding ceremonies, and what a perfect location to have them!
With us all being photo nerds we hadn't even managed to get too far around the lake as we were consistently in awe of how beautiful the surroundings were, but we'll definitely be heading back soon. We managed to stroll around for a few hours and were lucky with the beautiful evening providing a great way to take a glimpse at how the area looks under interesting skies.
