Lindsey & Derek - Married in their own backyard

wedding date - September 27th, 2016

In the winter of 2013, Lindsey & Derek connected in Canmore, Alberta and went skiing for their first date. What was supposed to be a couple hour long date turned into the entire day as they laughed and chatted the whole time, feeling as though they had met each other ages ago. Since then they have been back and forth between Derek's home on PEI, and Lindsey's home in Alberta. When it was time to plan the wedding day, their cottage in Rollo Bay, PEI became the perfect setting. It was a rainy ceremony but with their positive and fun attitudes, it was hardly noticed.

Lindsey & Derek are incredibly laid back and easy to be around. Their wedding day reflected this from the start and the main priority was for guests to be as relaxed as possible. As Lindsey put it - "We broke every rule we could...no assigned seating, ditched the cake and formalities, sat on hay bails and just had a ton of laughs and love." 

One of their favorite moments of the day was when Derek surprising Lindsey with professional highland dancers and bagpipers at the reception! Lindsey used to teach highland dance and it has been a tradition in the family to dance at each other's weddings. They had the entire barn moving so Lindsey and her sister even joined in on the fun. 

I hope you will enjoy all the laughs and moments from this day as much as I did. Thank you another amazing couple, and congratulations to The Hennesseys!

Deanna & Brennan - Married in souris, Prince Edward Island

Wedding date - August 8th, 2015

It was a sunny, blue skies day in August and the sound of the fiddle greeted me as I arrived at Deanna & Brennan's home. The boys were having a laid back, afternoon kitchen party as they waited to leave for the wedding ceremony in Souris. Friendly & familiar faces greeted me and I immediately felt a part of the crowd. 

Deanna & Brennan are the kind of couple who fully welcome you into their party and make sure you're totally taken care of - Deanna's Mom even packed me a lunch complete sandwiches, snacks and drinks! This group was a pleasure to spend a day with and I couldn't be happier that I was able to capture it all. From Little Harbour, to The Glen, to North Lake, we had a blast photographing their PEI wedding day. Congratulations Deanna & Brennan!
