Waterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding Moya + Gavin

Waterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding

Congratulations to Moya and Gavin who were married in St Columcilles Chapel Cnoc Fola Gweedore on the 13th of April 2019 followed by a fantastic Waterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding reception for their families and friends. I started my day off with a visit to Serenity Hair and Makeup in Gweedore where Moya and her bridesmaids were getting hair and makeup done. The girls were very relaxed sipping on tea and champagne and enjoying the pampering on offer in Serenity by the lovely staff. I met up with Caimin Jacob who was on videography duty for the day and Caimin had traveled all the way from Co. Clare that morning so my spin from Kinlough was nothing compared to his early start! It was a bright morning with a very strong wind and that wind had no intention on letting up for the whole day and night ahead but with a couple with a great attitude like Moya and Gavin I knew we would be getting great photos no matter what. The whole Gweedore area is just amazing with so many beautiful locations your head would go dizzy trying to decide where best to go. I love the fact that you can find new amazing places to shoot each time you visit and Moya and Gavin had some stunning locations picked along the wild Atlantic way for their photos- wait until you scroll down below….

The boy’s were busy giving the cars one last polish to have them look their best and the Porsche supplied by JJ McBride looked amazing in the sunlight- they just don’t design cars like that anymore- a true classic of design.

The house was buzzing with excitement as the time for Moya to get into her beautiful wedding dress from McElhinney’s In Ballybofey drew closer. We managed to brave the gale force wind and step outside to pop open a bottle of champagne just before the girls got the Gรบnaรญ on.

It was so windy there that it was nearly too difficult to stand let alone take photos. The wind seemed to funnel down the valley from The Poisoned Glen and through the old church ruin. It was a very quick stop as we needed to get to the Hotel to join the waiting guests for the party to begin.Waterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding bride and groom at dunlewey churchWaterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding old dunlewey churchWaterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding bride and groom with errigal in the backgroundA quick stop off for some petrol and a quick Uachtar Reoite for the journey to DungloeWaterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding bride fills the wedding car with petrol while the groom waits inside the carThe beautiful wedding cake was supplied by Mc Brides Cakes LoughanureWaterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding bride and groom cut their wedding cakeWaterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding guests at the hotelWaterfront Hotel Dungloe WeddingWaterfront Hotel Dungloe WeddingWaterfront Hotel Dungloe Weddingwaterfront hotel wedding moya and gavin (1)Waterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding bride selfieWaterfront Hotel Dungloe Wedding waterfront hotel wedding moya and gavin (1) Waterfront Hotel Dungloe WeddingThe evenings entertainment got off to a great start with comedian and hypnotist Dale Thomas working his magic on some lucky volunteers/victims!
