Katelyn and Jesse live with their super cute 1.5 year old son close to Sparwood, but since there’s no ocean nowhere near the Alberta border they decided to have a destination wedding in Port Renfrew. Jan had done the drive a couple of times, but I hadn’t, so it was great to do a little sight-seeing. One thing I didn’t expect was to have no cell phone reception from the moment you leave Lake Cowichan. It seems so weird that you come to depend on that little thing so much, but it’s true. Well, we didn’t really need it anyway, but it still felt kinda strange
Their ceremony was beautiful. It was on a sandy beach right on the ocean and the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. I love it when a couple writes their own vows. Jesse told Katie I’m very lucky to have you as part of my life. You’re my best friend… You asked me once how much I loved you. I told you 3.14, because it’s never-ending. She told him in her vows: After all these years you still give me butterflies. What a romantic couple!
Before driving back to Youbou for their reception, we spend quite a bit of time with them and their fun wedding party on the beach for photos. I love shooting on the beach; I’m so glad we live so close to the ocean! Their ceremony was at the Youbou Community Hall and Katie had done a great job decorating the place with paper lanterns, and I also loved the peacock feathers they used as part of their decorations.
Thanks so much, Katie and Jesse, for letting us be part of your day. You guys are a great couple and wonderful parents, and you’re blessed with such a happy little man!
