Carey-Jane and Ben were married this past Friday, on one of our first gloriously summery days of the year. It was the bride’s sister and bridesmaid, Kristy Klaassen, a fellow photographer, who referred Carey-Jane to me (and not only that, but she also scoped out the farm and the school for photos of the wedding party and newly married Mr & Mrs). A heartfelt thank you to Kristy!
I had never spent time with both Carey-Jane and Ben (her sister did their engagement photos!), but right away could see their love and affection for one another written across their faces. A love anchored in their faith, evident in their families and shared throughout their wedding day…
Everyone expected Carey-Jane to choose a simple gown, and everyone was happily excited when she chose the one with all the pretty detail…
Loved the girls’ stunning Lia Sophia jewellery, which Carey-Jane conveniently sells!
This wedding was full of other wonderful details too, like Carey-Jane’s gorgeous bouquet of roses, peonies and succulents by Quik Flowers, her crochet Toms, and more succulents for the boutonnieres…
It was a unique day in that, due to church rules, we were not allowed to photograph in the sanctuary where the ceremony took place. Luckily, we were able to shoot from the foyer once the doors were opened after the pronouncement of marriage!
Thank you to my second shooter for the day, Adriana, for getting the shot on the right…
I adore details and the hair fascinators did not disappoint…
I loved having these two newlyweds in front of my camera…
The reception took place at the beautiful and scenic Minter Gardens in Chilliwack…
Carey-Jane and Ben, thank you so much for the honor of being your photographer! It was truly wonderful getting to document your day and I hope you have an amazing honeymoon in Aruba!
