Mill Park Hotel Wedding Susan + Thomas

Congratulations to Susan and Thomas who were married in St Patrick’s Church Ballyshannon on the 7th of July 2016 followed by a brilliant wedding reception in the Mill Park Hotel in Donegal town for their families and friends.The 7th of July was a beautiful morning with a warm summer sun dipping in and out from the clouds and it was just perfect weather for a wedding. The day started off with a short spin to my hometown of Ballyshannon where Susan and her bridesmaids Louise, Colette and Lisa were getting ready along with page boys Eoghan and Aaran. To say the girls were very relaxed is to put it mildly – in fact the girls were so relaxed that when myself and Sinead turned up to the house the place was empty – after a short time Jason (Donegal Video.ie) showed up to start his work with the wedding videography – you can check out Jason’s amazing wedding videos on his website here – and still no bride or bridesmaids, after a few minutes Susan’s mother Margaret arrived to tell us that the girls were in the Limit Bar and Restaurant having their breakfast!! As we were waiting the bridal bouquet arrived along with the bridal party flowers from Ailin Gallagher who owns Ailin’s Flowers in Kinlough and what a beautiful bouquet it was – you can see more of Ailin’s beautiful floral creations here. We got our detail shots and bouquet shots all done and there was nothing left to do but kick back on the sofa and have a chat with Jason and Margaret and wait for the girls to arrive. After a short sit the girls arrived back and we quickly popped a bottle of champagne with the help of Susan’s brother Joe and the girls went straight into getting ready mode. We managed to get all the photos with the girls done quickly and made the short trip to St Patrick’s church for the wedding ceremony.

On our arrival at the church we met up with Thomas and his groomsmen Edward, Joe and Sean who were all busy meeting and greeting the arriving guests. The time before the bride arrives is always a great opportunity to get some candid photos of the guests chatting and laughing with each other. After the ceremony we got the family portraits done before heading off for our location shots. We quickly stopped at Dorrian’s Thatch Pub for a quick photo before making our way to the Abbey Mill in Ballyshannon. From there we made our way to Murvagh beach where we got some lovely photos on the sand dunes and in the wooded area with its wild meadow in full bloom. From Murvagh we made our way to Donegal town for the wedding reception in the Mill Park hotel. Mary, Jim and the team at the Mill Park always provide the warmest of welcomes and it really is one of the best wedding reception locations in the country. The Cufflinks band provided the evening’s entertainment and as we wrapped up for the day the dancefloor was in full swing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Susan and Thomas for having me be part of their wedding and I would like to wish them the very best of everything for their future together.
