Civic Gardens Wedding Photos

Civic Gardens is one of my favourite locations for photographing weddings and portraits! Kelsey and Stephen’s big day was full of laughter and I knew after their engagement session with their dogs that we would get along really well. I photographed the girls getting ready while Alana photographed the guys. The couple was determined to keep their wedding outside and after a very brief storm rolled through- just long enough for everyone to run inside and come back out again, they had their ceremony with the sun streaming down on them. Their wedding party were really fun and after the family photos it was time to head inside the Civic Gardens Complex for their reception with lots of lovely details, special speeches and sweet dances. We were even able to capture the first wedding photograph I’ve captured with a rainbow in it! The night kicked into high gear with smashing the wedding candy cake and all the awesome dancers!

Here is a very sweet testimonial from the couple- We want to give your our sincere thank you. Honestly, we loved you from the day we met you and you were perfect for our celebration and our crazy crew of fun, silly and hilarious guys 🙂 I hope you had fun! i know there were some moments of chaos and a bit of stress for both of us 😉  but we all pulled through and i would not have wanted it any other way. I watched you put all of your heart into each moment, each photo and each opportunity! How amazing was that day! We got all weather conditions possible and you captured it all. We are beyond grateful for you Alana. You are both so fun, so genuine and were so comfortable to be with. You fit right in :). I hope you had a great rest after a very late night… and again, thank you for being there so long and being so dedicated and determined to get every shot just right.. right up until the last minute! We know that the pictures will be magical. With all the heart and passion that you put into it, the magic will shine through :). We can’t wait!
