Wedding : Patricia & Wade

June 14th, 2010 | Filed Under Fort McMurray Weddings

When Patricia and Wade got married on the May long weekend it was not just the joining of 2 individuals but the blending of two families.  Their four wonderful kids were included in their intimate wedding that was held at Heritage Park in Fort McMurray and they had a special sand ceremony to symbolize the joining of their families. 

This was a wedding of firsts for me as it was the first wedding that I have photographed as a married woman….the first where the bride had a broken arm (she was amazing!)….and it was the first wedding that I have shot in a long time where the cake cutting went a little something like……well…..just look at the pictures below : )

The day began at Envisions Hair Salon, followed by a trip through the McDonald’s drive-thru (umm…doesn’t everyone go to McDonald’s wearing a tiara?) and then moved to their home to finish getting ready.  From there we went out on an adventure and attempted to keep warm while capturing the beauty of spring and this great couple and their wedding party.  After the ceremony we did family pictures in front of the church that Patricia’s parents and Wade’s grandparents were married in – what treasured memories that brought back for their family!  The reception ended with a performance by the Tyler Whelan Band.

I love seeing people in love and at a wedding you really do not have to look too hard to find them.  One of my favorite moments from this day was watching the bride’s grandma dance with her boyfriend at the reception. Oh she was beautiful!

Here is just a sneak peek at the day. 

Patricia and Wade-  may this be a day that you cherish for the rest of your lives and the beginning of amazing things to come.

If mom and dad can do it….why can’t I?
