I always imagine planning a wedding remotely is difficult, but Lauren and Patrick made it look easy. The couple are originally from Donegal, but live in Australia, from where they did most of their wedding planning.

Their wedding took place just after Christmas on the 28th of December 2016 in St. Mary’s Church, Clonmany, Co. Donegal, while their reception was held in the Inishowen Gateway Hotel.

The bridal preparations were well underway when I arrived at the house, so I captured a few photos of the ladies and Lauren’s chosen finishing touches. The cute flower girls also got in on the action and effortlessly took to their roles.

Following the ceremony, I headed to the beach with the wedding party, where the weather was thankfully on our side, before we set off to the hotel for the wedding reception.

A flawless day from start to finish, it was a pleasure to be a part of Lauren and Patrick’s special day.
