Oh man, this blog post has been in the works in my head for SO long. In fact, from the moment I started shooting, I was sooooooo excited to go home and look at all of the photos. I loved everything about this wedding. From the bride, her incredibly beautiful wedding party, the entire flow of the day, this wedding was a dream.

Even though it was pouring rain, and we had planned to walk around the market for photos, Pam and Andre were just as thrilled to go the Canadian Museum of Nature for photos, where they did their first look!

Lexi was an integral part of the day. It was a must to have her in some photos so she joined us at the museum as well!

It was important for Pam and Andre to have some down time throughout the day to really enjoy themselves. We went to Social for some drinks and appetizers before the ceremony which could not have been more perfect.

Their ceremony, performed by Pam’s dad, was heartfelt, full of laughter and tears (and trust me, my tears were on the brink of being embarrassing) and simply a true reflection of their personalities.
