Kris & Eileen travelled all the way from Switzerland to get married in Maple Bay on July 3rd. Not only they travelled far for their “destination wedding;” their family and friends came from all over the world to be with them on this special day. His brother, the best man, travelled to the Island from Australia; there were other family members from Switzerland, from California, Halifax and a million other places. These two are truly loved by many people; their wedding was a reunion of sorts.
Having written their own vows they hinted that they would want to share them with each other before the actual ceremony, in a more relaxed and private setting. That’s when we suggested to do a “first look” on the morning of their wedding. They loved it! And we did too
It is great to be given the opportunity to create photographs of a couple before their wedding, but this is only for those that aren’t completely stressed out by the thought of standing in front of dozens of their friends later on. We want the images of the couples we work with to represent their true feelings for each other, and with Kris & Eileen that was not a difficult task at all.
Their ceremony location was the Garry Oak Preserve in Maple Bay. What a stunning location that is! A big open field with a few oak trees, and their ceremony was right underneath one of the oldest Garry Oak trees. We wanted to share a couple of our favourite photographs, and we will soon post some spreads of their album design as well.
