As many of you know, we have small children and it has been a real struggle to balance family time and work. We have chosen to cherish this time with our family and friends.

We want to thank all of our amazing clients and friends, because without you we wouldn’t have had the many successful years we did. To all our industry friends that we had the pleasure of doing flagyl online work with, we want to thank you for all your help and support.

This isn’t goodbye forever. Once our babies are no longer babies, we will likely make a return.

To our current clients, we will still be fulfilling orders for the next few months. If you’ve been waiting to make a purchase, you still have time.

To our photographer friends, you can expect to see a gear sale coming soon.

Thanks for all the amazing memories!

Ashton and Michelle Married – Sooke Victoria https://brawns.ca/blog/2014/12/20/ashton-and-michelle-married-sooke-victoria https://brawns.ca/blog/2014/12/20/ashton-and-michelle-married-sooke-victoria#comments Sat, 20 Dec 2014 22:42:58 +0000 http://brawns.ca/blog/?p=2324 This is our favorite type of wedding; Located at a family home with close family and friends and lots of personal touches. This makes for an intimate and emotion filled wedding buy zyban online that Theresa and I feel very lucky to be a part of. One of the most memorable moments from Ashton and Michelle’s wedding was that they had their friend officiate the ceremony, dressed as Gandalf. Nick’s ceremony had many references to gaming, which is a passion of both the bride and groom and therefore made for a very personalized ceremony.

There were many family members and friends on hand to help out with the wedding preparations; from food preparation, removing chair covers when the rain started just before the ceremony to everything in between. Getting to spend time with these important people in Ashton and Michelle’s lives makes the wedding that much more special.

Almost all the woodwoork in this house was done by the grooms father and uncles. The center piece boxes were also crafted by the grooms dad.

Sorry!!!    I’ve know Kevin and Brita for years now, and you may remember their  engagement session. Kevin and Brita are expecting a new baby and we cannot wait to meet him/her! Brita’s parents own the venue which made this a very special place to be. I love backyard weddings as I love being around a family setting. It helps to have a very talented cake maker in the family too. Alina made this elegant cake and also this past clients cake as well. This will be the most number of images in a blog post to date. The are many reasons for this, such as the killer location, stellar details, breathtaking ocean views, rain!, and many many more. I will let the images speak for the day. I never know what to say in these posts and I’m sure you’re itching to see the images. I’ve added some comments as well, which is a first for this blog. Let me know if you like the comments. Enjoy!

This was our first opportunity to work at Maple Grove Guest House and it was amazing. Shannon the owner really did a great job making sure the everything ran smoothly and ensured that the venue was looking tip-top. We would recommend Maple Grove Guest House to anyone looking for a venue that has bridal suite, ceremony and reception location all in one. Also, the girls from Details BC did a great job keeping things organized and setting up the decor. Jenna’s wedding was great and group were a blast to hang out with. They kept things interesting for sure. The live music during the reception was rockin’ and really got the crowd up dancing.

Nick and Jenna, we wish you only the very best in the future.
