On Thursday, 24 October 2024, Kerry Harvey and Bryan McNicholl celebrated their wedding in an elegant and joyful union that began in the charming village of Clar and culminated in the breathtaking setting of Markree Castle. As a videographer it was a privilege capturing their love story in this Sligo Wedding Video at Markree Castle.
Morning Preparations
The day began at Kerry’s family home in Clar, Co Donegal, where the excitement of bridal preparations filled the air. Kerry, a talented makeup artist, opted to do her own makeup, taking a serene moment to herself amidst the bustling morning. Her sister Deborah and mother Sheila had their makeup expertly done by Maria McGroary, while Tara McGee styled their hair to perfection.
Kerry’s Mila Nova dress from Verona Bridal was complemented by a custom-designed train, adding a personal touch to her stunning look. Rainbow Club shoes completed her ensemble, creating a timeless bridal appearance.
Meanwhile, Bryan prepared for the day at a cozy rental home on Old Golf Course Road in town with his best man, Patrick Regan. Both, hailing from Canada, shared moments of camaraderie as they readied themselves for the ceremony.
A Memorable Ceremony at St. Agatha’s Church
The couple’s ceremony took place at St. Agatha’s Church in Clar, officiated by Fr. James Gillespie. The florists orchestrated a seamless transition of floral arrangements from the church to Markree Castle, adding a vibrant backdrop to the heartfelt vows and readings. The musical talents of Deane Connaghan enriched the ceremony, featuring a soulful rendition of “Amazing Grace” by Lisa McGinty.
A Stunning Reception at Markree Castle
Following the ceremony, Kerry and Bryan arrived at Markree Castle, where their 100 guests were welcomed to the enchanting grounds. The couple prioritised candid moments, mingling with loved ones while the castle’s magnificent interior and lush gardens provided the perfect backdrop for their video and photographs with Paul McGinty of Ghorm Studio.
The evening’s festivities began with speeches, followed by a vibrant first dance at 9:30 PM in the front covered entrance to the castle complemented with sparklers.
