Mill Park Hotel Wedding Donegal Town Catherine + Barry Farrell

Mill Park Hotel Wedding Donegal Town Catherine + Barry. Congratulations to Catherine Rafferty and Barry Farrell who where married in St Mary’s Church Cashelard on the 6th June 2015 followed by a beautiful reception for their families and friends in the Mill Park Hotel Donegal Town. The 6th of June was a very special day for Catherine and Barry, it was the day they choose to make the commitment to spend the rest of their lives together and they really did it in style. The weather on the day itself was a real mixed bag with glorious sunshine, a few showers and a fair amount of wind all thrown into the mix – a typical Irish summers day really! I started my day off with a trip to Catherine’s mum’s house on the Donegal road outside Ballyshannon. Catherine and her bridesmaids Darina, Meave and Helen were all busy  with Paula from Temptations  in Ballyshannon putting the finishing touches to the make-up. After we got the detail shots done we captured some photos of the girls before making the short trip to St Mary’s Church in Cashelard for the wedding ceremony.

On arrival at the church we met with Barry and his grooms-men John, Robert and Paul who were all busy greeting guests and handing out the mass booklets. Tony Keown from Garrison was on video duty and it is always great to work with Tony as he really knows his craft. In charge of the official proceedings was Fr Declan and it was great to see him back in Ballyshannon as he always makes the wedding ceremony relaxed and fun for the bride and groom. After the wedding Ceremony we made our way back to Catherine’s mum’s house for some photos with Benji the dog who is an important part of Catherine and Declan’s family. It was great to see that Catherine’s mum had such great green fingers as the gardens looked spectacular in full summer bloom. We made the most of the amazing colour on display in the garden and got some amazing wedding photos.

From the beauty of the garden we made our way towards the rugged beauty of Murvagh beach. The sand dune system in Murvagh is just made for wedding photography as they are easy to get to and are high enough that you can get a great view of the beach and Donegal bay without having to go near the sand. It was blowing a gale in Murvagh and the sand was dry so it was being whipped up off the beach and driven hard up the dunes – it was one way of ex-foliating the skin! We didn’t stay long on Murvagh! From there we made our way to the Mill Park Hotel in Donegal town for the wedding reception. The Mill Park Hotel is one of the top wedding hotels in Donegal and with the attention to detail shown by Mary, Jim and the staff it is a reputation well deserved. The Mucky Ducks provided the evenings entertainment and they had the dance floor fill for each and every song. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Catherine and Barry for allowing me to be part of their special day and I would like to wish them the very best of everything for the future.
