We’ll sweep you away from central Dublin for a scenic countryside tour to experience Rock of Dunamase — complete with a cozy pub lunch at Treacy's Pub, said to be one of the oldest pub in all of Ireland with a classic thatched roof and an interior that feels like you stepped back in time. After lunch with your new flower and media friends our tour continues as we make our way to Markree Castle. Cameras out. Inspiration everywhere.

3:00 PM | Markree Castle Arrival - Sligo, Ireland

As you approach the castle gates you are greeted with a 500-acre estate filled with a lush green forest and enchanting gardens. You step off the coach and into your Irish fairytale - Towering stone walls, sweeping countryside views, and your castle chambers await.

9:00am – 12:00pm | Photo & Video Excursion

While florists transform the castle into a floral wonderland, you’ll head out on a private countryside adventure - camera in hand, model by your side, and blooms in tow. Think misty meadows, stone paths, mossy waterfalls, rolling hills - and that one shot you’re going to want saved in your portfolio forever.

12:30pm – 1:00pm | Lunch at the Castle

Return for a cozy midday meal and a quick reset - back up your cards, charge your batteries, and prep for the floral fantasy ahead. Styled shoot incoming!

1:00pm – 4:00pm | Styled Shoot

(Expect the Unexpected)

You will enter an immersive wonderland of floral artistry, styled details, and editorial-ready scenes. The kind that only Intrigue creates! You’ll rotate in groups of 2 for ample time to direct models, capture the setting, and bring your creative vision to life. Expect floral installations inside and out (weather permitting) and signature Intrigue drama in every shot with Irish influence though out: dripping in florals, styled to perfection, and practically begging to be captured.

*This shoot is intentionally designed to flow into sunset - giving you a variety of light to work with. With sunset at 4:52pm, expect to wrap just as the darkness settles in.

6:00pm – 8:00pm | Luxury Gala with Irish Charm

Dress your best and strike a pose for timeless portraits in front of the Camera instead of behind the camera, then follow the sound of Irish music as it leads you into a stunning celebration where florists, photographers, and videographers unite. You’ll dine amidst the very designs you helped document - now transformed into an opulent Irish gala experience where everyone is dressed and ready to celebrate. Dance, laugh, shoot, or just soak it all in. This is your night. Cameras optional, memories guaranteed!
