J + R are MARRIED! | Chilliwack Wedding Photographer

J and R were married last Saturday at the Chilliwack United Church...it was elegant...beautiful. I had such an awesome time at this wedding!! The bride and groom are such a nice couple...and soo cute together too ;) Family formals were immediately followed at the City Hall Museum and we then continued the event with wedding party photos at Garrison Crossing!

This is how the day began...

The bridal party met up at Undine's on Young to have their hair done...
They then continued on to the bride and groom's beautiful home...such gorgeous decor throughout the house--I loved it!!--to finish up and get dressed.

Details...







Aren't their rings sooo pretty?? The bride's engagement ring actually locks in-between the wedding band..
And the location of this ring shot I give credit to my lovely assistant ;) Great idea she had!



I LOVE THESE SHOTS OF THE BRIDE!! A few of my many faves....such classic beauty to them...







































Their first dance...







And their cake! I just loved the colors she chose for the wedding...such a nice combination.



Congrats again to you both, and may you have a lifetime of happiness!!
Thank you so much for asking me to be part of your day!

A + K are MARRIED! | Gwynne Vaughan Park Wedding (Continued)

Ok, so here are more photos from the day, as promised :) Sorry for the delay! I've been super-duper busy lately. I'll start the post off with photos from the bridal prep. K had 6 bridesmaids there for her on her special day!
I thought it would be interesting to find out a bit more about the history of the "bridesmaid" and to know what their role was and what it has evolved into in the present day.

Here are some facts that I found at "The Dessy Group" Wedding Planning Tips:

• In early Roman times, bridesmaids formed a sort of "protective shield", dressed in similar outfits, as they accompanied the bride to the groom's village. They were to intervene if any wayward thugs or vengeful suiters tried to hurt the bride or steal her dowry.
• The Western bridesmaid tradition seems to have originated from later Roman law, which required ten witnesses at a wedding to outsmart evil spirits believed to attend the ceremonies. The bridesmaids and ushers dressed in identical clothing to the bride and groom, so the evil spirits wouldn't know who was getting married!
• In Victorian wedding photographs it can take a bit of inspection to identify the bride and groom from among the other members of the bridal party!
• Today, the bridal party continues to support the bride, but not by warding off evil spirits or thugs and vengeful suiters, but by providing support staff and an advisory board. They are also an honoured member of the bridal party, a special guest at the reception, as well as the brides "special assistant".
• They are said to be caring helpers and thoughtful organizers :)

I thought it was pretty interesting! You can read more about it (if you're interested haha) at the link above...

K had a lovely set of bridesmaids, I'll start the photos off with them, in no particular order. These were taken just after they had their hair + makeup done:

And getting in her dress:





The lovely Karen de Nevers of de NEVERS EVENTS did such a great job in coordinating the event! Be sure to check her out if you or someone you know is getting married :)
