So this magical wedding has too interesting of a story for me not to share in detail: I met Sarah and Chris at a wedding I was photographing last summer. Sarah was a bridesmaid, and at the end of the wedding, right after the bouquet had been thrown, Chris (who was drunk by then and doesn't remember this) came up to me and said, "She's next." Talking about Sarah being the next bride. "Oh yea," I said. "No, really." He replied, and he wasn't lying. So they called me to photograph their wedding, and naturally I was incredibly excited to be a part of the continuation of their story! The day of their wedding, however, started out for me as anything but smooth. Coral, my assistant, and I started driving down island and got stuck on the wrong side of an accident that shut down the Malahat. We almost didn't make it to the wedding! Ditching our car on one side of the Malahat, we jumped on a ferry by foot (a ferry that was nearly shut down due to crazy winds) and were lucky enough to be able to bum a ride on the other side and to the wedding. Filled with stress and arriving two hours later than we meant to, Coral and I made it half an hour before the ceremony. Forcing ourselves into the wedding vibe, we scrambled to catch up and get our photos. Naturally, some of the shots I wanted got missed, but I was still happy with what we got! And next time we photography a wedding in Victoria, we will definitely be heading up the night before. This was such a magically and beautifully styled wedding! Tammy from Blue Lily Events did an amazing job of not only planning an amazing ceremony and reception, but she also did a fantastic job of coordinating the event, keeping people organized and on time and looking beautiful while doing so :) I feel so blessed to have been able to photograph such a beautiful event with wonderful people :) Thanks again to Coral for being such an amazing assistant!
