Yesterday it rained, and rained, and rained some more.  I went out to Carman for Jason and Carolyn's wedding rehearsal and then went to check out the reception site.  Mud everywhere!  What we needed was a miracle.  We all went to bed praying for sunshine and a breeze to dry up that yard, lickety split.  What we got was perfection.  Not too hot, not too cold, not a rain cloud in sight and just the right amount of wind.  Sure there were still a few puddles, but I didn't hear anyone complaining!  
I had a great day, and now I plan on having a great sleep!

Here's Carolyn with her M.O.H and sister Angela, both gorgeous I might add.

Nathan and Ang met at Folkfest.  What better a place for two people to meet than surrounded by  drum beats and the notes of an intense mixture of music floating up into the beautiful Manitoban summer air?  They were introduced by Nathan's cousin, who also happened to be a friend to Ang.  Everyone watched as the two of them chatted away, and realized there just may be something there.  

Their shared love of music was evident the evening of their wedding.  An ipod filled with music the couple had hand picked, many artists they had seen live at Folkfest and other venues, played as Nathan and Ang visited with friends and family.  Their wedding was small, but only in numbers.  Nathan and Ang chose an intimate gathering of their closest family and friends to celebrate this day that would mark the beginning of the rest of their lives together.  Their ceremony was led by Nathan's father, adding to the very close, personal feel of the night.  The couple held hands tightly as he spoke the words that would make them man and wife.

The morning of Alicia and BJ's wedding I was afraid to look out the window as I rolled out of bed.  The weather in June had been undesirable, to say the least.  All I wanted was a day with no rain.  I covered my eyes as I pushed the blinds away, peering between my fingers, with just one eye open, I was so relieved.  SUN!  Amazing.  

I started out this gorgeous day with a nice drive and a cup of tea, excited to be out on the open road, with a wedding before me.  I had a great day with Alicia and her bridesmaids, and later on with BJ and the rest of the wedding party.  Alicia and BJ didn't seem to be the overly emotional types, so it was extra special when they teared up during the ceremony.  A little tug at my heart...

A special thanks to my friend Amanda for coming out to be my second shooter for the day!

Here's the long awaited sneak peek of Alicia and BJ's big day!!  For a few more photos, a short slide show can be found here.

The wedding this weekend with Andre and Christine was nothing short of amazing.  Not every day do I get to be around a love like this.  I can't wait to edit their wedding photos!  This is one that stood out to me so far.
