A beautiful Autumn day by the harbour in the perfectly manicured surrounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens was the backdrop for Joyce and Terry’s wedding. Even though the forecast was for showers and a possible storm, the rains stayed away for the ceremony and we were blessed instead with cloud cover that gave us fabulous diffused light!
The day started with Joyce getting ready at the historic Stamford Hotel. We love it when brides get ready in hotels, the rooms are always spacious and the windows let in such beautiful light! Joyce looked absolutely radiant being pampered and waited on by her seven bridesmaids!
Don’t her flowers look stunning?
The rose garden was just a picture with the harpist and flowergirls playing with bubbles while waiting for the ceremony to start.
With 8 dashing guys…
and 8 gorgeous ladies….. it was the biggest bridal party we’ve ever photographed!
After the ceremony off for a stroll through the gardens
We had some gorgeous light that afternoon!
After playing and enjoying the gorgeous sun the heavens finally opened up!!
I love this next shot as all the girls scurried off to find cover using their bouquets as umbrellas!!
With the rain falling, we ended the day with one last gorgeous shot by these fantastic willows. Joyce + Terry, thank you both for such a fabulous day. God bless you both as you begin your new lives together!
