Denise & Jamie {Married}

Saturday was such a perfect day for a wedding.  It was so gorgeous and sunny with bright blue skies and a gentle breeze.  I left for Denise and Jamie’s wedding knowing that we were going to capture some truly amazing images on this incredible day.

I had met Denise and Jamie in July 2008 when they first began planning their wedding.  The ceremony and reception were to take place at the Olympic View Golf Course.  The ceremony was held on one of the putting greens, which was adorned with perfect white chairs and two large vases of flowers framed where they would share their vows.  The colours just popped against the crisp green backdrop.  Denise arrived in a golf cart with her three stunning bridesmaids.  They followed closely behind the most adorable ring bearer and flower girl EVER.  I had the biggest smile on my face watching these two cuties walk down the aisle.

Denise looked radiant in her raw silk dress and the delicate beading caught the sunlight.  Now those who know Denise are aware of her infectious laughter.  She had the whole audience laughing at several points throughout the ceremony.

I didn’t catch the name of their Justice of the Peace, but she delivered on of the truly most beautiful ceremonies I have seen.  I would have thought she had known Jamie and Denise for years.  There was such a personal connection between all of them as they said their vows.  I felt very honoured to witness their touching ceremony.

After the ceremony was finished, we did some quick family photos by one of the ponds and then it was off to do some bridal party shots.  Our first stop was Albert Head Lagoon, which proved to be very windy, so we didn’t last long there.  We carried on to a favourite field of mine out towards Witty’s Lagoon.  It was there that we had some fun in the grass, and down a path to the ocean.  I had so much fun with their bridal party.  We shared some pretty hilarious discussions about Beavers, Bunnies and Camels, that had us all howling.  I had to put the camera down a couple times I was laughing so hard.  I needed to give myself a moment as I had tears running down my face!  Could have been the alergies too as my nose and eyes were hating me by this point – I am sure with all the crazy sniffling and blood shot eyes it would have appeared that I had a ginormous cocaine habit – which of course I DON’T.  Ok guys, just wanted to clear that up 😉

Denise and Jamie were such troopers.  I had them wandering all over and climbing down some interesting paths and they didn’t even bat an eye.  I hope that after seeing these images, they feel it was worth the adventure!

Denise and Jamie, you were such fun to work with!  I hope you have an amazing time on Galiano.  I’ll be in touch when you get back 🙂  Hope you love these first few teasers!
