Harveys Point Hotel Winter Wedding

Congratulations to Michelle and Sean who were married in a beautiful wedding ceremony in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Mountcharles Co. Donegal on the 29th of December 2015 followed by a Harveys Point Hotel Winter Wedding reception for their families and friends. Myself and Sinead started our day off on the morning of the 29th of December with a short spin from Ballyshannon to Mountcharles where Michelle and her bridesmaids Fiona and Jackie were getting ready. On our arrival the house was a hive of activity as is the norm on the morning of a wedding. The girls were busy getting their hair and makeup done and the rest of Michelle’s family busied themselves getting ready and putting ribbons on the cars and making sure nothing was left undone. Michelle had two beautiful flower girls Kayla and Tia and they were so excited getting some lip gloss applied by the very talented makeup artist Kerry Harvey. After we got our shots of the girls we made our way to the Church of the Sacred Heart in Mountcharles for the wedding ceremony. On arrival we met with Sean and his groomsmen Eoin and Ciaran who were busy meeting and greeting the arriving guests. It was a very cold and windy day and everyone made their way inside to the warmth of the church as soon as the arrived. The church has some great views out across Donegal bay but on this particular day you would be forgiven for not wanting to stall too long to drink in the view! After the wedding ceremony the light was fading fast so we managed to get some quick bridal party photos inside before getting in the cars and making our way to the shores of lough Eske to get some bridal portraits. When I first met with Michelle she told me she loved the dark moody skies and the powers that be made sure that Michelle got the perfect skies for her wedding photographs. It was a real credit to Michelle and Sean who braved the cold conditions to get some photos at the lake but it was well worth it – hopefully by now the cold is a distant memory but the photos will last a lifetime.

We worked very quickly to squeeze the most we could from the rapidly diminishing daylight before making the last leg of the trip which was also the shortest for a  Harveys Point Hotel Winter Wedding reception. Harvey’s point Hotel is one of Donegal’s premier wedding destinations and they annually win awards both locally and nationally for their faultless service. On arrival at the hotel Michelle and Sean were greeted with a glass of well deserved champagne by Noel Cunningham who is the general manager and also a TV3 celebrity. Our first task was to get the family photos done and the hotel has the perfect reading room to use for these types of photos. As Michelle and Sean enjoyed the company of their guests in the bar myself and Sinead got some detail shots of the magnificent ballroom which was beautifully decorated. The band for the evening were Pure Fresh from Derry and they set the tone early with really lively music the kept the dancefloor filled which is always great to see. I would like to take this opportunity to wish Michelle and Sean the very best of everything for their future and thank them for allowing me be part of their very special day.
