Something I love about being a photographer is how the majority of my clients are connected.

Well, I do get the odd google booking that knows no one that I have photographed. But for the most part all

of my clients are somehow connected and I think that is so rad. I first met Shea in 2014 when I photographed

her friends wedding in the Dominican.  I was so happy when just a few short years later I heard from Shea saying she had

found the man of her dreams and that they were planning a gorgeous mountain wedding. After a quick little phone

chat with this couple they said they would love to have me tell their wedding story and I did my booking happy

dance and added them to my 2018 wedding lineup.  They got married at one of my absolute favorite venues

and their day was filled with laughs and tears and gorgeous details. I am not going to lie, some

of those tears were definately shed by me, especially when she did a first look with her dad.

I think you can tell alot about couples but the people who they surround themselves with and their

connections with their family and I can tell you Kenneth and Shea are good people. You could tell

every member of their wedding party was extremely happy for them and to be a part of their day and

their relationships with their parents and siblings are so special and there is just so much love.

I really can not say enough good things about this day.  Now before I start crying again thinking back

to their day here are some words from the newlyweds.

How did you guys meet ?

We meet here in Fort McMurray, not knowing who each other were for so long to all of a sudden seeing

each other everywhere we went. Finally I messaged him to say “so I feel like I have been seeing you all over town

and we have never officially met” from there he picked me up one night to go for a coffee (at like 9PM ...lol) which

turned into us driving around town for probably 3 hours. Coffee dates then turned into dinner dates,

which turned into me introducing him to my family, which turned out to being the best decision I have ever made.

Cause I am now married to my best friend and soul mate.

Please share the proposal story with us?

Kenneth took me by complete surprise. August of 2017 my family was having a family reunion we had

family come up who I hadn’t seen in years. We were at my aunts place having a BBQ, and my sister in law

was taking pictures. She was VERY persistent on getting a picture of Kenneth and I in this exact

place at this exact time. As we were getting ready to take the picture my Aunt goes “what’s going on, something

is going on here” and next thing I knew there was Kenneth on one knee in front of my ENTIRE family

asking me to continue making him the happiest man, and asking me to be his wife. It is a moment I will remember for the

rest of my life, the moment that changed my life forever, and it was a moment I got to share with my family.

Most memorable moment from your wedding day?

Bride: My favourite moment is actually shared between Kenneth and my father.  I shared

the first look with my father before he walked me down the isle. It was a moment of emotion I will never forget.

When it was time for my dad to walk me down the isle , and they opened the doors and

there stood all my friends and family my eyes were locked in Kenneth. Seeing the emotion

on his face is the way every girl wants to see. I was about to marry my best friend.

Groom:
The moment she walked down the isle of course,  she looked like the woman I’ve been waiting

and searching for for years, There couldn’t have been a more perfect moment.

Tell me about the special aspects of your day that made it unique to you two?
My “Something Borrowed” was from my brother. It was a pin that had a picture of my Nanny, Grandmother, and

my best friend Jeremy. Who each are no longer with us, and are three very important people to me who I wish were

there to share this day with me.

My “Something Old” was the wedding bands of my Nanny and my Grandmother which I pinned to

the inside of my dress that when I looked down, there I saw their rings.

Besides making the choice to marry each other, what was the easiest decision you made

for your wedding? What made it so easy?

Our compatibility, and how much we liked the same things, we chose one venue and one venue only.

And that’s the venue we got married in.

Advice to couples planning their wedding day?

Do your budget first, it will help you decide who is the best fit for you, but if something is

REALLY important to you and the vendor you want is just a little out of your budget, make it work this a once i

n a life time event, be happy with it don’t compromise or settle on anything. And most importantly when it

comes to the day or the wedding, don’t let the little things bother you, just because they placed something on the

table wrong no one is going to notice but you. Enjoy your day, you just married the love of your life go have fun,

dance, laugh, cry and go be the happily married couple.

One of my favorite groom prep shots of all time! I just love the little parts of the day. Shea’s first look with her dad was so incredibly specialCornerstone Weddings is such a gorgeous place and Flowers by Janie just made their

fireplace perfect with this design. Love the way that the spotlight his them. This is my second of many many weddings at Cornerstone!
