Kathryn & Elliott - August 21st

What a weekend we have had! First an incredible wedding on Saturday and then Kathryn and Elliott on Sunday. WOW! Kathryn is one of the most beautiful girls I have ever met - her personality and beauty combine in a stunning package! Elliott, well he's not so bad either. Alone they both shine, but together they just glow!

Every aspect of this wedding was perfect. The bridesmaids dresses were a gorgeous shade of green and Kathryn had shoes to match. Paul from Red Room did Kathryn's hair. She wore it down - it was the perfect blend of romantic and sophisticated. Her dress, well the photos of her dress will speak for themselves. All I can say is it was perfect for her.

Kathryn and her parents left the Opus Hotel in a horse drawn carriage for the ceremony at Brix Restaurant. This girl would stop traffic just by walking down the street and she definitely stopped traffic on her carriage ride. The ceremony at Brix was just the right combination of emotional and light. Elliott may have shed a few tears, but he also provided some humour with his asides to the crowd.

After the ceremony we took the bridal party on a whirlwind shoot through Yaletown. We did not have a lot of time and we really wanted to pull out all the stops for these guys. Elliott has been been following our work closely. He knew exactly what he wanted, yet he trusted us to give him more than he had even imagined. Elliott is a big-time actor and is very comfortable in front of the camera. But it was his camera-shy wife who really burned up our lenses. Her total joy in marrying Elliott shone through and she worked the camera like she had been doing it her entire life!

The reception was beautiful. Brix is such a great location! The room was full of family and friends, each of whom was thrilled to be there. The MC was kind of nuts, but he kept the mood light and the evening flowed. The speeches were full of emotion. I may have even shed a tear or two myself. The only people in the room Elliott didn't say thanks to were Steve and I, but that's not really his fault as the mic was dragged from his unwilling hands!

I can only say this...thank you! Steve and I are thrilled to have shared this with you and we are even more thrilled with the images that we made. At every wedding we challenge ourselves to go even further than we have before and to create art from real life. Thank you for trusting us to make art with you.
