An Chuirt Hotel Gweedore Wedding

Congratulations to Ann Harkin and Denis Doherty on their An Chuirt Hotel Gweedore Wedding on the 17th July 2015. Ann and Denis where married in the beautiful Christ The King Church in the north Donegal town of Gortahork followed by a  An Chuirt Hotel Gweedore Wedding reception for their families and friends in the beautiful setting under the magnificent Mt Errigal. When you conjure up images in your minds eye of a July wedding in probably the most scenic part of Ireland you like me think of warm gentle breezes with white wispy cotton like clouds floating across a deep blue sky and small nectar feeding insects dancing across the heather under the ever watchful gaze of the imposing sentinel that is Mount Errigal. Cue reality – rain, heavy rain, wind, gale force wind, rain that is not falling down but travelling sideways in the raging hurricane like winds and then when the wind calms for a bit the rain comes down so hard that it hits the ground and bounces back up at least a foot in the air so if it fails to wet you on its way down it will get you on its way back up!! The Irish summer ( and I use the term summer very loosely) is a very fickle entity and if one was to rely on it to produce any sort of decent weather it would drive you stir crazy – which probably explains why so many Irish people are as mad as a box of frogs! When you scroll through the photos below you would be expecting to see Ann being sad and down with the weather but I’m pretty certain you will have never seen a more happy and contented bride – its got nothing to do with the weather on your wedding day but with a positive attitude and amazing family and friends and those are the things that Ann and Denis have in abundance. Myself and Sinead had such a great day in Gweedore and the families and friends of Ann and Denis made us feel so welcome and taking the photos did not feel like work at all. The wedding reception was held in the beautiful An Chuirt hotel and it is located beside Mt Errigal with stunning views from every window you look out of, the hotel provided us with plenty of opportunities to get some great wedding photos with Ann and Denis and in the evening when the wind settled down a bit and the rain stopped we managed to go outside and grab a few photos in the garden with a half hidden Errigal in the background so all was not lost. Both Ann and Denis are huge music fans and the theme for the day was music festivals and bands they love – they also had a silent disco later in the evening which I’m told went down a treat with their guests.  I would like to take this opportunity to wish both Ann and Denis the very best for their future and thank them for allowing me be part of their special day, below are some of the photos from their An Chuirt Hotel Gweedore Wedding ….enjoy….
