Authentic Wedding: Leslie & John

While browsing photogaphy blogs one day, I came across a sweet little wedding that David Redding of London, ON photographed in September 2008.  I love all weddings, but I especially love intimate affairs like this one!

On September 13th of ‘08, I covered a wedding that proved once and for all that you don’t have to have a huge wedding with 100’s of people to make it count. A total of 25 people (all family) attended in the amazingly beautiful Wesley-Knox United Church in Wortley Village, near downtown London, and it was an emotion filled event that I won’t forget.

At the reception Lesley and John proved how industrious they could be by having a tent set up in the back yard of a family members house and decorating it all by themselves. It was the best DIY setup I have ever seen – they sure do have an eye for decorating!

Authentic Wedding: Elizabeth & Clay – Pigeon Lake, Alberta

We came along this gorgeous winter wedding by Kinga of Images by Frost Photography, and just had to share!  We love everything about this wintery Canadian wedding – the details, the beautiful photos, the location … there’s entirely too much prettiness to choose just one element.

Images by Frost for Sensational Weddings

 

Elizabeth and Clay said their, “I Do’s” on December 11, 2009.  They chose the Village at Pigeon Lake for their wedding destination – it’s such a lovely location! The little village reminded me of a miniature Banff, Alberta. It was really cute and gave me a homey feel. It has lots of potential for great wedding portraits.  They exchanged their vows & celebrated at The Village Creek Country Hotel.

Clay and Elizabeth decided to shoot the portrait photographs before the ceremony, and since Clay would see Elizabeth before she walked down the aisle, we had a ‘dress unveil’ before starting the festivities.  Elizabeth wore a beautiful gown by ‘Pronovias’ in which she looked amazing. Clay’s jaw dropped when he saw her! :)
We shot the formals around the snow covered village. After a little while, it really started to snow so we took shelter at the local store, The Country Sampler. The owner, Deanna Knoblick was so accomodating! Not only did they allow us to use the store, but they moved furniture and props around to make every photo ‘picture perfect’.

Thanks again guys! Although it was fairly cold, I had an absolute amazing time!
