A CALIFORNIA WEDDING

The power of the internet is mighty, more specifically Instagram.

I have been saving this journal entry for the perfect moment, and in less than 24 hours, we will be greeting these two at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport with big warm Canadian arms, where they will visit with us for a week and be carted around on their very first Nova Scotia adventure!

These two beautiful people, Kris & Brendan Barnard, found us on Instagram a year and a half ago, and flew us to California to capture their whimsical wedding moments at the Quail Hollow Ranch in Santa Cruz. It is a wonderful thing when clients become friends, especially ones who live on the other side of the continent, in a different country.

I will give you advanced warning, there are a lot of images in this collection, there were so many details that had to be included. From beautiful hand calligraphy invitations by Emily Norman Calligraphy, dried floral bouquets and boutonnières all forged and handmade with love by Westerwisp, to a natural science theme with real butterfly specimen centrepieces and geode escort cards on each plate. They set up a lovely spiral aisle for the beautiful bride to walk through to meet her groom, and had individual Edison bulbs dropped from the most glorious hanging trees that hung over top of the family-style tablescapes, and adorable sweetheart table. All this with wildlife walking about, while guests danced the night away. The evening ended with a star-gazing party with cozy blankets and star charts for all of the guests. It was all like a dream, a wonderful, wonderful dream.

We did a little mini shoot with them on the evening of their rehearsal dinner in their adorable town of Half Moon Bay, California, have a peek HERE at those images.

We were so honoured to have been part of their special day, and for all the fun we had the first time we met them in person last June when we flew to California to photograph their engagement at Navarro Beach. I invite you to take another look through those images you can find them HERE, and the amazing feature HERE in Cottage Hill Magazine.

I have to say that if I were to have known how magical of a place California was when I was getting married, this is exactly the destination wedding that I would have wanted, the light is like no other, and the warm breeze soothes my soul.
