Meet Jason and Danielle!! I first met these two last year when I photographed Jason’s sister’s wedding – and it was so wonderful to see Jill and Ian again! I got to know them more when we met last fall to talk about their own upcoming wedding, and I fell in love with them so quickly, they’re so cute and fun and real and have the best energy between and surrounding them!! I was so looking forward to their wedding day! We kept planning their engagement session only to have the terribly rainy spring always mess with our plans, so we get to do a fun after wedding shoot with them instead which will be so fabulous!!
Danielle was one of the coolest brides ever, and most relaxed and go-with-the-flow, just so cute and positive and excited! I felt like I just wanted to sit and hang out with her! She was even doing the dishes after her hair was done!! 
Seriously, she has the best energy and I think it would be impossible to not be happy when you’re around her, she’s that wonderful. She was so cute when she first saw her hair, I loved her reactions!! And she was so calm as she did her makeup, so relaxed, and then she even did one of her bridesmaid’s makeup! Everyone was so excited and happy, and yes there were a few tears as well, especially after Danielle put on her dress. It was a perfect morning!
Jason was a little nervous when I first saw him at the church, but as soon as he saw Danielle walking down the aisle and he went to meet her in the middle, I think everything was all perfect for him. There were some tears and also some laughter during their ceremony, and a high-five by Jason and Danielle after the kiss! They were so cute walking back down the aisle, so so so happy!! After some fun family formals, we headed to the Exchange for some group photos and then lots of time with just Jason and Danielle, it was so relaxed and fun, and they have the best laughs together so are such a joy for me to photograph – cause laughter is my absolute favorite!!
The reception was held at the Hotel Fort Garry and was filled with great food, beauty, laughs, tears, and more laughs. And I loved that Danielle had a second dress, a cute, short and flirty white dress, for the reception!! Their whole day was so fun and such a perfect day, happy, joyous, relaxed, and fun! I was so honored and happy to be a part of it, as well as to see Jason’s family again and some familiar faces!
A special note – I had the honor of working with At First Sight Cinematography for the first time and I was absolutely blown away by their Same Day Edit that they premiered during the reception. It was such amazing art, and such a wonderful keepsake of the day for Jason and Danielle to have along side their photos. I so highly recommend checking them out, they were wonderful to work with, and their art is incredible!
