bride & groom embracing on their wedding day at shawnigan lake, bc

lisa’s very first emails made me smile. A lot. And i don’t think i stopped smiling once on their wedding day. Well, maybe a little, to cry, during their amazing ceremony, at lisa’s parents’ beautiful home on shawnigan lake. Together with their fabulous celebrant, barbara densmore, they crafted a wonderfully unique, completely fitting ceremony for their wedding day. Their vows were heartfelt & true, a lovely combination of very funny & very beautiful, a little like lisa & eddie themselves. Their rings were tied in ribbon & passed amongst their guests, giving everyone the opportunity to bless them in their own way, fill them with love, the power of family & friends, before they circled their fingers in commitment. The fabulously talented one-man-rhythmn-section-singer-songwriter ari neufeld filled the lakeside property with the joy of beautiful music, everyone soaked in the sun, in all the vibrancy & love buzzing about, the sparkle surrounding lisa & eddie. And gourmet tacos for dinner! From the hidden treasure that is steeples.

lisa & eddie, thank you! Thank you for all the fun, the love shared, the warmth & tenderness that is so rich in each of you & was so present on your wedding day. Here’s a little of what i witnessed…
