I love weddings, and I love exploring and going to places where I’ve never been before, so I was really looking forward for Amanda & Hayden’s wedding at the beautiful Poet’s Cove Resort on Pender Island. While Jan and I were making our way to the venue after a short ferry ride, I couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to live on a small island like Pender. It must feel secluded at times, but I love the country and I am sure that everyone knows everyone. This island is so beautiful; what a great place for a wedding!
Hayden and Amanda had decided to do their photos in the morning, so they could spend more time with their guests after the ceremony. The morning didn’t start without a hitch though, as the makeup artist Amanda had spoken to just a week before hand, did not make her appearance. As unfortunate as this was, thankfully she had a good friend that had done a practice makeup run with her, so she could save the day! When both Hayden and Amanda were ready we took them to a gorgeous bluff overlooking the ocean where they saw each other for the first time. This is always such a special time of the day; the anticipation that both bride and groom feel, and then when they see each other all the stress falls away and they can enjoy spending some time together before their ceremony.
We hope that you’ll enjoy these favourites, which are mostly shot on the Poet’s Cove property, although there are also some images that we shot at a cute little church just down the road.
Hayden & Amanda, we hope that you are having an amazing time on your honeymoon and we wish you all the best for your lives that you’ve chosen to spend together!
