meggie + andrew...a victoria long-weekend love story!


i had the oober great pleasure of photographing meg and andrew's wedding. i have know meg's mom for eons!! as in decades really! so when kathy, her mom, asked about my services for meg, i was ecstatic!!

the day, saturday of this past may-long weekend, was perfect! blue skies, sun beaming and HOT!! it was like summer!

started off with a few shots before hand with andrew at the howard johnson in royal oak..handsome little devil...altho when i asked how he was doing, i was surprised to hear, "Nervous as heck!"... giggle..

off to the bride's parents home in saanichton, where indeed the action was!! i even got a picture of dad and a picture little "meggie" made him when she was six. boy was he proud of his little princess!

at 130pm we all headed to gateway baptist church in royal oak where a lovely service was and family photos afterwards..you know it's funny..i was taking one of meg's brother's family and roger's wife says to their daughter, miranda, "smile for madison's auntie!" and immediately my brain starts trying to track...madison's auntie? i have a neice madison..i am her auntie..wait a second..how do you know madison??? turns out they are friends with my sister in law and fam in calgary.. can we say small world!!

off for photos we went, trapsing throughout royal oak and eventually making our way to the reception venue: mcmorran's, right on the water. wow! spectacular! i even convinced them to hike the dress up, roll up the pants and huck the socks and get some fun water photos!

the reception began around 630, where there was toasts, singing, dancing and lots of fun!

congratulations on your marriage you two! all the best and see you in vancouver!! xox
