cat, kody & xera

jenn & frank

i met jenn & frank back in june last year when they came to hornby to scope out wedding locations & have an engagement session. We hit it off wonderfully during our time together (hard not to, with these 2) & it's been amazing to watch their day take shape over the months. They were married on saturday, at our wee catholic church, by a priest who traveled over from courtenay. The 3 of them kept us in tears & laughter - it was a heartfelt & beautiful ceremony. And then the big fun began. To the old ferry landing with the bridal party & then back to seabreeze lodge for food, festivities, decorating, beach walks, some soccer & swinging, cake cutting, toasts & heaps of love & laughter all around. Did i say it was a beautiful day? It was, indeed. Here's a sampling of their journey...

today braea & eben were married, & there was magic in the air... & love... & fun... & the celebrating of 2 amazing people & the beginning of their new journey together. Braea & eben grew up on hornby, have been sweethearts since forever it seems, & many of us were fortunate to gather together with them today, in the bright sunshine, on the spectacular olsen's farm, & witness their walk into marriage. It was a gorgeous day, filled with beauty & youth, sparkles & smiles, heart-wide-open love & commitment, celebration & joy. Here's a little taste of the magic...
