Ashton and Michelle Married – Sooke Victoria

Spencer — Sat, 20 Dec 2014 22:42:58 +0000

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.

Another perk of weddings at family homes; baby pictures!

So, this is what happens when liquid makeup explodes out of an airbrush!

Lots of helping hands.

Ashton’s dad made this custom gaming table (more later) and the first dice to be thrown on it came up on 20. Good luck!

Furbabies!

And just in case weddings weren’t stressful enough, the rain started just before the ceremony.

Mad dash to remove chair covers.

Gandalf in the house!

Technology is wonderful.

Brent and Josceline – Dragons Lodge, Gabriola Island Wedding

Brent and Josceline contacted us to photograph their wedding and when they told us that it was a the Dragon’s Lodge on Gabriola Island, we knew that we were in for a treat. As Josceline described what she had planned I got really excited. There were so many details from her wedding that stood out as you can see by this massive blog post. The thing that I really loved about this wedding was the colours which were based on Dahlia flowers. I loved how every bridesmaids dresses were a different colour, that was awesome. All the flowers for the event were donated by a local Dahlia farm that Josceline use to visit as a young girl. Brent and Josceline spent time and effort in consideration of every detail for their wedding which really shows through and added to guest enjoyment, including our own! The biggest thing about putting together a really nice wedding is the small details as it really ties the whole event together. “The devil is in the details” is something that I usually say when talking to brides-to-be and apparently that struck a cord with Josceline as she nailed it, and cursed me for it. Whooops!

Brent and Jos, we can’t thank you enough for having us out to your wedding. We truly had a great time with your family. We know you’re going to have a stellar future and we wish you all the best.
