Wedding Date - August 30th, 2019
Over the years I have photographed Chloe & Colby many times so being there to capture their wedding day was a must for me! I love working with them and this day was no different. Looking back on their wedding after all this time brings happy memories of the great (pre pandemic!) celebration we had.
Chloe & Colby met in high school, became best friends for a while, and eventually their relationship progressed to the point where they started dating. They’ve stayed strong through a lot of long distance, big career moves, buying a fishing fleet, and raising their pup Sherman! In 2017 after Chloe returned from her second semester away at university in Scotland, Colby met her at the airport baggage claim and surprised her with a ring. After 7 years together he still pulled off a great surprise!
Chloe comes from a farming family and Colby is a lobster fisherman. When planning their wedding they wanted to highlight the Island’s best cuisine and host a memorable meal for their guests, and Gallant’s Seafood & Co definitely pulled that off. The location of the reception was also important to them. The house that Chloe’s Dad grew up in was moved to a waterfront property in Howe Bay a few years ago by his sister and it’s one of their favourite places in the world to be. The perfect spot to set up their Caseley’s Tent overlooking the ocean. Thank you Chloe & Colby for trusting me with these special photos!
From the couple:
What was your favorite part of your wedding day, or a favorite memory that sticks out?
“During the band’s first break, Colby pulled me aside. We stood out by the cliff and watched all of our loved ones in the tent. It was my favourite moment. We stood back for a quiet moment together and just took everything in. And the stars that night were on another level.”
What is one piece of advice you would give to other couples planning their wedding?
“Delegate! So many friends and family are willing to offer any help that they can! So just be clear about what your vision is and delegate any task you can! Also, make sure to set aside time with your wife/husband”
