Updated - August 24 - I'm back from vacation now and thought I'd update this post with a few more photos and some words about Katherine & Joe's beautiful wedding day. I must admit, the thing that stands out the most (after how incredibly happy & in love the bride and groom were that day) was how incredibly HOT HOT HOT it was. I think I literally almost melted into the floor a few times over the course the entire day's events.
A few highlights from the day:
1. The bride. Who was gorgeous and radiant and so incredibly happy all day. Katherine seemed almost unfazed by the heat because she was too busy being in love with Joe.
2. The groom. Who didn't pass out in his handsome dark suit. Seriously. I can't believe nobody passed out from the heat, especially the boys in their suits. Well done lads!
3. Swan-e-set Bay Resort & Country Club. Which was a stunningly gorgeous location for a wedding. Despite its remote location, I think it's one of the best spots for a wedding in the Greater Vancouver area.
4. The bride's makeup. I have to give a shout out to Felicia Bromba, who did the bride's makeup. I thought the heat would have left poor Katherine all shiny and melted, but her face looked gorgeous all day. I don't know if Katherine was powdering her nose behind my back, but her makeup was so great that I didn't even need to retouch the photos!!
5. The bride's hair. Which looked so romantic and beautiful. I especially loved the orchid that held it all together. I just love orchids! Kudos to Victoria Kuzma who did Katherine's hair.
6. My brother. Who was my second shooter for the day. He kept me well hydrated and caught some great photos too. It's wonderful to work with another photographer who always has my back. Thanks Gord!
7. The flower girls. Who were so adorable and so well behaved! Cute cute cute!
8. The ring bearer. Who was a great sport about modelling the wedding program for me. Thanks!
9. The cupcakes. Because they're cupcakes. And cupcakes are delicious.
Now for the photos...
I should mention at this point that I wasn't completely daft from the heat and forgot to take photos of the ceremony. They're not included here because the bride and groom wished to have some parts of their day remain private. But trust me, it was a gorgeous and romantic ceremony!
Congratulations Katherine & Joe. I'm so happy for you both!
