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!

Wedding date - August 13th, 2016

Rory and Hannah have been good friends of mine for years and I was so thrilled to be able to capture their wedding day this past August. Their wedding was the kick off to what our friends called "wedding week", two weddings on back to back weekends for the same friend group. What a blast it was!

Hannah & Rory met while studying music at UPEI and after initially starting off on the wrong foot, they were the couple that everyone (but them) saw coming. Throughout their wedding day their love of music was evident in many of the details, including incredible musicians playing their ceremony music, decor, a personal performance for their first dance, and the reception being held at the Rollo Bay Fiddle Festival grounds. With Rory being a musician in the military, we also photographed him in his Canadian Forces dress uniform in the early evening, a special touch to honor his commitment.

As you can tell from the massive smiles in their photos, Hannah & Rory fully enjoyed their day and laughed all along the way. The vibes were amazing, and we will always remember the good time we had on August 13th. Congratulations to the O'Donnells!
