The anticipation was palpable in the front hallway of St. Nicholas Church. Children shuffled around nervously, unsure of what they were about to see… while adults smiled to each other and talked excitedly about what had brought them all together that day. It was a beautiful sunshine filled day in Langley, but nothing could compare to the beauty unfolding inside… the wedding of Katie and Mike.
* * * *
I loved listening to these girls practice before everyone showed up…
Both Katie and Mike walked down the aisle with their parents… it made my heart squeeze!
Now that’s a hot bridal party!
Did I mention I love these bridesmaids dresses? LOVE!
*siiiggghhh*
The bond between these girls was evident throughout the day… I loved seeing them laugh together. So much love!
Romantic field time…
I think I have a love affair with this chapel…
teenie wild pears!
The reception at Langley Golf Center
I love the use of grey… such a stylish colour!
I dare you not to smile looking at their adorable little lemon meringue tarts!
Katie and Mike… it’s been an amazing journey! From our first meeting on Commercial Drive, to your epic engagement session at VGH and now your amazing wedding day filled with love, thunderstorms and a brief cameo from a territorial dog. Thank you for choosing me to share in all these moments with you!
