Harveys Point Hotel Wedding

Harveys Point Hotel Wedding. Congratulations to Edel and Eoghan on their stunning wedding which was held on the 3rd January 2014 with a beautiful ceremony in Clar Church just outside Donegal Town and a wonderful reception held in Harveys Point Hotel on the shores of Lough Eske. The third day of January 2014 was both cold and wet- very wet actually with widespread floods throughout Donegal and the northwest. However the wet and windy start to the day caused us no problems as we met with Edel in her mothers house on the outskirts of Donegal town. Edel and the girls where getting hair and makeup done when myself and Sinead arrived and we set about getting the detail shots of the dress, shoes, rings, flowers, jewelry and anything we could locate related to the big day. Everyone was calm and relaxed with no sign of nerves from anyone. After we left Edel we made the short trip to Clar church for the wedding ceremony itself. The wind and rain was in full force at this stage and we got some great shots of some of the guests arriving and fighting with umbrellas trying to stay dry. After the ceremony we did the family photos at the alter and then some quick photos of the bridal party. On leaving the church the rain had stopped so we where able to get a few photos at the beautiful door of the church and then we made the quick trip to the Hotel for the reception. A Harveys Point Hotel Wedding is really great as the hotel is set among the most beautiful surroundings of Lough Eske. We stopped the wedding car on the approach to the hotel and got some great photos at the lake shore just as the light was starting to fade to what is known as the blue hour. A Harveys Point Hotel Wedding not only offers some great outside photo locations but the hotel is also stunning inside and makes it great for winter weddings as there are many beautiful places inside the hotel if the weather is not playing ball. On arrival to Harveys Point Edel and Eoghan mixed with their guests and i continued to photograph the guests in a relaxed way with a long lens and made sure they where unaware of my presence. As night fell and just before the band started we got some outside shots with the sparklers and then we made our way into the ballroom and photographed the first dance and a few songs with the band before we loaded the car and headed for home. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Edel and Eoghan for allowing me to capture their wonderful wedding and i would like to wish them all the best for their future together, if you would like to leave Edel and Eoghan a message please do so in the comment box below, thank you, here is a slideshow and some of the photos from Edel and Eoghan’s Harveys Point Hotel Wedding…. enjoy……
