Brittany and Nathan

Saturday June 21, 2014

"Lets bring back Summer!"  The famous quote from the beloved snowman, Olaf, from the hit movie "Frozen", was a sentence I heard over in my head today.  After weeks of ongoing rain it was so wonderful to wake up to sunshine on the official first day of summer.

We arrived at Brittany's parents place around 9:30am where the girls were getting their hair done and Brittany looked adorable sporting a set of stylish rollers on her head.  I thought it was so sweet watching her help the girls with their false eye lashes and last minute touch ups.

Soon it was time for Brittany to get into her dress.  For the very first time in my wedding photography career, I watched the father of the bride tie up the back of the wedding gown. What a special moment.  A father is a daughter's first hero, a protector, and the man who could scare away any monster who might live under her bed.  As an adult, we forget about those little childhood memories, but as a parent we remember those days as if they were yesterday.  Throughout the whole wedding day, I could see the amazing bond that Brittany and Nathan shared with their parents.

Brittany had another admirer that morning, her little dog, Teagan who cuddled and kissed the beautiful bride.

Brittany and Nathan were married just after 12:00pm at the Peace Lutheran Church.  The ceremony was filled with laughter, joy, and a few tears as the couple exchanged their own written vows.

After the ceremony we headed to the historical Exchange District in downtown Winnipeg.  Thank you to all of bridal party for enjoying the sunshine and forgetting about the heat.  You were all so much fun to be with and we had a great time capturing all of the silliness and laughter you brought to the day.  

It is not often that I meet a couple as young as Brittany and Nathan who truly have a grasp on their life and the people around them.  They both speak highly of each other as well as have a true love, admiration, and respect for their family and friends.  I want to thank you for asking me to photograph your memorable day.  You looked stunning and I had a blast working with you both.

The reception was held at the North Kildonan Community Centre.  The venue was decorated beautifully by family and friends.  Brittany's good friend, Rebecca, even made the elegant wedding cake.  The evening was filled with speeches, memorable moments and a ton of dancing.

Congratulations!
