The Rabbit Hotel and Spa's The Loft in Templepatrick has become an iconic wedding venue in Northern Ireland. We've had the pleasure of capturing many breathtaking weddings there since its opening just a few years ago. Among these weddings, Kerry and Conor's stands out as one of the most luxurious and stylish we've had the privilege of photographing. Their wedding oozed charm and style, making it a standout occasion already at the start of our 2023 wedding season.
The day started with Kerry and Conor getting ready at their respective parents' homes in Lurgan. Kerry's dress, a stunning Rime Arodaky creation, was acquired from The White Gallery, a fashion-oriented bridal boutique in Northern Ireland and it looking simply incredible on her. Conor's suit was from Tux and Tails in Dungannon, which was perfectly tailored to fit. Prep was super chilled out, Kerry got ready with her parents and 3 sisters that was also her stunning bridesmaids. Their home was an absolute dream to shoot in with lots of space and beautiful natural light.
After getting ready, the couple headed to St Peters Chapel in Lurgan for their wedding ceremony. The chapel's ornate interior and beautiful stained glass windows provided a perfect backdrop for the couple's vows.
The Loft at The Rabbit Hotel and Spa is a truly breathtaking venue that exudes an instant sense of awe with its stunning interior design and artistic flair. The venue is so beautiful that it requires no additional adornments to look absolutely stunning, though Blooming Events NI added some beautiful finishing touches to enhance the ambiance. The attention to detail in the design is evident throughout, from the large marble dining tables to the intricately decorated surroundings, making it a true masterclass in interior design for both The Loft and The Rabbit Hotel.
The centerpiece of the venue is undoubtedly the multiple large statement marble dining tables, which are artfully decorated with lush greenery, elegant candles, and ornate candelabras. The high vaulted ceilings, adorned with sparkling chandeliers intertwined with festive greenery, provide guests with the option to dine together in a family-style setting. The artistic design and industrial-chic style create a unique and stylish space that is just a marvel and something Kerry and Conor guests won't forget for a long time.
We had the privilege of capturing stunning portraits of Kerry and Conor following their ceremony. The portraits were easy-going and fashion-forward, capturing the couple's unique style and personalities. The Loft Templepatrick provided the perfect backdrop for these photographs, with its industrial-chic style and striking chandeliers. There is no need to go anywhere else for photographs when you have your wedding in this phenomenal location, after all its style and charm is what makes it so unique amongst wedding venues in Northern Ireland.
The couple's drinks reception was filled with the beautiful music of Niamh Murray, who created a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests. The reception itself was a luxurious and vogue-like experience, with guests enjoying the stunning decor and atmosphere. As wedding photographers, we were able to capture the true essence of the day, with photographs that reflected the couple's unique style and personalities.
Following a beautiful dinner, the couple and their guests enjoyed some sparklers and an incredible photoshoot in the stunning spa of the venue. Later, the guests partied late into the evening with the incredible performances by The Professionals wedding band and Holly Sax, creating an electric energy in the room. Dancing the night away, the guests made unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime.
