There's not many nicer places to spend a beautiful Irish summer day than Donegal, and the Red Door Country House, on the banks of Lough Swilly would rival most locations. To make it that bit more special Ann & Andrew (& Aodhan too) spent their day in the Red Door surrounded by family and friends as it hosted both their intimate & personal wedding ceremony & all the fun that followed.

Here's a wee flavour of their day.

Some wee details for those interested - as always anyone I've left out drop me a message & I'll get your details added.

It was an absolute pleasure to spend the day with Jason & Leanne for their recent wedding in St Columb's, Chapel Road & celebrations at The Red Door, Fahan...  there was a timeless, romantic, relegance to the whole day - as their invites eloquently put it 'a fairytale indeed came true...'

So I'll let their photos do the talking from here... feel free to comment at the end.

(to everyone else I've left out - just let me know :-) )

I first met up with Joanne & Tommy in front of a roaring fire, in the Red Door, Fahan, on a cold winter's day back in December 2013... we chatted about their plans for their wedding day and the relaxed and natural feel that they wanted for their wedding photos - just what i love to hear! Looking through a sample album a wedding cake took their eye, after asking did I know who had baked it, I think they pleasantly surprised to find out it was my better half... so back home they headed with their photos and cake sorted! (here's their Pretty Elegant Cake)

Six months later, on a glorious summer day, we were back in the Red Door, although this time they celebrating with family and friends following their beautiful wedding ceremony in St Colmcille's, Glendoran, and a quick stop for a few photographs at the gorgeous Glebe House.

Here's the story of their day (thanks to Danny Bradley for lending me a helping hand)
