Justine & Marc’s wedding in Downpatrick and La Mon Hotel

Northern Ireland wedding photograpehr Annette Burke photographed the beautiful wedding of Justine and Marc who were married in the magnificent cathedral in Downpatick and later held their wedding reception in la Mon Hotel in Belfast.

Justine and Marc were married in Downpatrick in September 2011. Justine was a stunning bride and a pleasure to photograph. As both bride and groom were from Downpatrick, we decided to go to Inch Abbey for their photographs. It was a sunny but with our strange weather systems here in Northern Ireland, it was also very blustery. Marc’s grandmother was ill on the day of the wedding and between the church and photographs, we all stopped off at the local hospital to pay her a visit and get a few photographs. Unfortunately, gran passed soon after the big day but thankfully, Marc and his family have photographic memories of her on his big day. After the photographs in Inch abbey the beautiful couple headed for their reception in la Mon Hotel just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland.
When we entered the room where they were to hold their reception, there was a definite aroma of chocolate. By the time we reached the cake which was made by Jenny’s cakes in Bangor, our mouths were salivating. This cake had most mouth watering aroma ever and apparently it tasted every bit as good as it looked. The room looked magical. Flowers and room decoration were created by David McConkey florist. David has a nack of pulling together a very sophisticated wedding.
