Clanree Hotel Wedding Charlene and Thomas

Congratulations to Charlene and Thomas who were married in Sessiaghoneill Church in Ballybofey Co. Donegal followed by a brilliant wedding reception in the Clanree Hotel in Letterkenny. My morning on the 23rd of July started off with a short trip from home to Sessiaghoneill in Ballybofey where Charlene and her bridesmaids Diane, Pamela, Martine, Nico and Anthea were getting their hair and makeup done in Charlene’s home house. The weather on the day was typical for an Irish summer in that it was promising sun mixed with cloud mixed with rain mixed with a stiff breeze and sometimes they all happened at once! The girls were all very relaxed and enjoyed the morning of pampering. The church was only two minutes from Charlene’s house so it was a quick spin down to meet up with Thomas and his groomsmen Charles, Liam, Francis, Barry and Philip before the wedding ceremony kicked off at 1pm. The church was packed to the rafters which was great to see and when the ceremony was over it was nice and dry outside which allowed me to capture the guests as they mingled and chatted on the church grounds. We got the family photos done inside the church at the beautiful altar before making our way in the cars up to Trusk Lough which is only five minutes from the church for some bridal party photos. The scenery around Trusk lough is beautiful and wild and even though we got some showers of rain we were able to work quickly to get some lovely shots there. From Trusk Lough we made our way down into Ballybofey to Charlene and Thomas’s own house for some photos. Thomas had been busy with the painting and decorating (I’m sure Charlene was busy supervising Thomas also!) and and the house looking amazing and as we got some photos the bridal party got to relax and enjoy a well earned cup of tea. Soon it was time to get to the wedding reception which was being held in the fantastic Clanree Hotel in Letterkenny. The hotel is a great place for wedding photos with plenty of places for photos inside and out and we made use of them all. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Charlene and Thomas for having me as part of their special day and I would like to wish them the very best of everything for their future together.
