This past weekend I had the privilege of shooting Jay & Sandra's wedding. This was my second wedding of the weekend. I have worked with Jay & Sandra before when I shot their engagement photos last fall. One thing that I can tell you about them and their families is that they are truly genuine people. Everyone was so nice and fun to work with. I truly wish you guys every happiness in life. Here are just a few images from your day. Enjoy.
This first shot is of Sandra's beautiful dress. It's extra amazing as the seamstress had to take it in "10 inches"!! I don't know how she did it but Sandra lost quite a bit of weight before her wedding day. She was gorgeous before that and still gorgeous afterwards. In the front of the dress is a red bench built by Sandra's dad. Every time I have been to their place, there was always a new pile of lumber and another project on the go. He's super talented. I will be emailing you soon Ken to put in my order.
The bride enjoying some pampering! She always has the sweetest smile on her face.
Here are a few different ring shots. Couldn't make up my mind so I am posting quite a few.
This was the lid for the bottle that
they were using for their sand ceremony. I thought it had such a cool
shape. Looks like one of those "crazy hat" shaped cakes.
Thanks to bridesmaid "Janelle" for being the steady hand that helped out with this shot. This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've worked with Janelle and you can always count on her to lend a helping hand.
I hung Sandra's earrings and bracelet on this beautiful antique piece that I found in the china cabinet. It belonged to Sandra's Grama. I thought it had such a great vintage feel to it and I always love to incorporate meaningful things into the images.
Sandra and her girls had the greatest shoes. All coordinating. You know I love a great shoe shot.
I was teasing the little flower girl that she had a "pussy cat smile". Isn't she just adorable. She is going to be so beautiful when she is older. Seriously, look at those eyes and the Angelina Jolie lips. Gorgeous. Sandra was actually the flower girl for this little one's mom and dad, so the tradition continues.
Sandra and Jay were so happy to get married. They always had a smile on their faces. I was so sure that Ken & Lori were going to be crying and then of coarse you know what would happen to me. But, they said watching how happy Jay & Sandra were just made them happy. I told you. Super sweet people.
Gorgeous.
I wanted to get a shot of the containers for the sand ceremony. If you have been in the Chapel on the RCMP grounds, you know how dark it is in there and how warm it can get. But its truly beautiful. The back doors were left open to create a breeze and I love the flare in this image with Jay and Sandra praying in the background.
Happy!
The Kiss!
Mr & Mrs Malbeuf, happily rushing down the aisle.
The bubbles send off.
I am a sucker for a father daughter photo. It just makes me miss my dad even more.
The amazing wedding party. Thanks to everyone for being so helpful.
This next shot I have put in for a reason. Anyone that knows Sandra, knows that she is terrified of birds. It seems they realize that and always make an appearance. They did for her engagement photos and now again on her wedding day. She didn't know this seagull was swooping down till after the shot, lol.
How cute are these two? Seriously.
Next, the girls, in all their fabulousness!!
And next a little ZZ Top. She's got legs....and she knows how to use them.
And now the guys.
Another shot of the wedding party.
Relaxing by the water.
Mr & Mrs Fabulous.
Soooo pretty.
Soooo pretty X 2!!
These next few images are of the younger members of the bridal party. The looked so good and were the best behaved kids. We almost forgot that they were there. Almost, lol.
This last shot is of the bridal party and their very sweet rides. Thanks again for being so great to work with everyone! A special thanks to the men for lugging my things around and helping me get up some hills that I wouldn't have done without them. Not in heals anyway, lol.
