Steve works with the boys while they dapper up, and Courtney spends her time with the bride to be & her bridesmaids as they doll up! Kimberly & Richie had their ceremony in their home church, Nanaimo First Baptist. Following their traditional vows & spectacular first kiss at the alter, we whisked the newleyweds off to the snow laden vineyards & farmhouse of Millstone Winery in Nanaimo. With its gorgeous old farm house, and pillowy white landscape, it was the perfect backdrop for a rustic, winter wedding!

Bowen Hall was transformed into an inviting, colourful, vintage retreat from the cold! Beautiful Robin’s Egg blue mixed with natural colours, burlap accents & custom wreath’s brought their reception to life! Their eveing was filled with laughter, laughte fantastic food, touching speeches and a fun photobooth! One of our favourite ways to celebrate an incredible wedding day, is with a unique night shot!

ADVICE, ONE BRIDE TO ANOTHER “Don’t take things too seriously. The idea of the perfect wedding can stress you out so just enjoy all the moments

–

the

good

and

the bad. It goes by so quickly and it is a fun and magical time of your life. It is easy to get caught up in the stress and the drama but it doesn’t have

to

be

that

way

and

we

made sure it wasn’t.” - Brianne
