Harveys Point Hotel Weddings Patricia + Andrew

Congratulations to Patricia and Andrew on their wedding in Our Lady Star Of The Sea Church in Bundoran on the 28th June 2014. The last weekend in June is a particularly busy one in the beautiful seaside town of Bundoran, the Sea Sessions music festival is in full swing and the area is buzzing with party goers and surfers. Bundoran had an extra dimension to its level of excitement this weekend with the marriage of Patricia and Andrew. The weather was beautiful which was a great bonus and everyone knows there is no nicer place to be than Donegal in the sunshine. I started my day off when myself and Sinéad went to Patricia’s mum and Dad’s house where everyone was getting ready. The bridesmaids Nicola, Pamela and Eileen where in the process of getting their makeup done by the very talented Olivia Coleman Branley from Olivia’s Beauty– you can find a link to Olivia’s Facebook page here . The girls where all relaxed and enjoyed a glass of champagne to help settle any last minute nerves. When Patricia was in her beautiful wedding dress Teresina Barrett from Teresina Barrett Hair Design in Ballyshannon popped out to make a last few adjustments and attach the beautiful lace veil. Patricia had the most amazing wedding bouquet- as you can see in the photos- it was a brooch Bouquet with silver diamante and was made by Ailín from Ailín’s Flowers- wedding flower design in Kinlough- you can see more of Ailín’s amazing bouquets on her Facebook Page here. After getting some bridal portraits and some photos with the bridesmaids myself and Sinéad made the short trip to the church where we met up with Andrew and his groomsmen Daniel, Justin and Mark. The guests where arriving and chatted and laughed in the warm Bundoran sunshine before making their way inside for the brides arrival. When the ceremony was over and all the official papers signed we took the bridal party up to the West End Pool in Bundoran for some relaxed photos on the stunning coastline of Donegal Bay. Andrew told me the himself and the groomsmen had been in the sea pool that morning for a swim- he also said that it was very cold- brave men! We left Bundoran and made our way to the reception which was being held in the award winning luxury 4 star Harvey’s Point Hotel on the shores of Lough Eske in Donegal Town. No Harveys Point Hotel wedding would be complete without stopping on the road into the hotel for some wedding photos on the lake shore- it is a really stunning location and we got some stunning photos. On arrival at the hotel Patricia and Andrew where met at the red carpet with two glasses of champagne and some fresh strawberries and as they enjoyed their refreshments myself and Sinéad made our way to the ballroom to photograph the cake and table arrangements and all the beautiful floral displays. The great thing about  Harveys Point hotel weddings is the amazing location of the hotel and also the stunning grounds which are in full bloom no matter which season you go there which lends itself to stunning wedding photography. We took all the family photos on the lawn beside the ballroom with lough Eske as our backdrop and then everyone made their way to the patio area at the bar for some drinks and banter. After the meal the music was about to start and the band for the evening festivities was Tommy Byrne and The Big Jigs– you can find Big Jigs Bands Facebook page here– Tommy’s three young sons kicked off the musical entertainment with some great tunes and also some Irish dancing- make sure to watch the slideshow below to see some video of the boys in action. I finished my day off with some photos in the dark with the sparklers and as we said our goodbyes the party was really getting in full swing with the guests having already been warmed up by Tommy by taking part in the Siege Of Venice- a great laugh to watch! I would like to take this opportunity to wish Patricia and Andrew the very best for their future together and thank them for allowing me to be part of their special day, here are some of the highlights from the wedding…..enjoy….
