The hazy wildfire smoke had settled like a blanket over the southwest coast of BC, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of any of the guests at this beautiful Galiano Island wedding, and it definitely didn’t dampen the spirits of Helen & Vanessa, who were both practically giddy to tie the knot.
Their ceremony took place on the beautiful lawns behind the Galiano Inn villa suites, next to the gentle sounds of the ocean. A few dozen guests from around the globe gathered in excitement to witness these two charming women say their vows to each other, making my job so easy to capture all the smiles and laughter.
With bubbles in the air, the champagne flowed after the ceremony and I snuck off with the newlyweds to capture some shots of just the two of them on the scenic grounds of the inn – next to the ocean, on the jetty out into the water, in the gardens. And afterwards, everyone gathered on the main lawns of the inn for a fantastic al fresco dinner, full of sentimental toasts, amazing food and so much laughter. It was such an honour to be included in Helen & Vanessa’s day!
