Check out the link to my website to see fabulous photos from Chris & Nooneh's wedding.

Lovely Laura at Magnolia Photographic was the great visionary behind the lens.

Bride and Groom, Nooneh & Chris were favourites of mine (and of Laura the photographer). Thought I'd do a post to honour the safe and healthy arrival of little Ethan - congratulations Chris & Nooneh!

This fabulous beach in Tofino, BC on Vancouver Island was the setting for a fun wedding a few years back. It was a crisp and sunny May weekend when the Bride and Groom tied the knot! The Ceremony took place in the late afternoon after a sports day on the sand with all the family members participating.

BloomRoom scattered rose petals (blocked by the wind by the guests forming a circle), and dug "mini bouquets" into the sand. We also added some hurricane candles (a good idea to deflect the wind that you often experience on the beach). We transferred the hurricane candles to the gust tables at the Reception (a great way to double-up and reduce costs!).

Of course we had sand in the hurricanes to
keep the candles anchored, so the beach stayed with the guests as they devoured their seafood supper.

For this outdoor wedding, the Bride wanted something a bit different.

We brainstormed together and came up with the design to place the guest chairs in four sections, to "surround" the Bride & Groom within a circle. There were four "aisles" or entry points, so the Bride walked into the circle and the Groom came in through the opposite side.

It was symbolic of true partnership and the wash of petals in the middle made for a fabulous pre-Ceremony focal point. We placed single red roses on some of the front row seats for the parents and other immediate family members.
