Set amongst the old growth forest, and surrounded by their closest family and friends, the wedding of Laura & Joe (back in August 2015) was as lovely as it sounds. This was our first wedding in this area of the world (have loved returning since!), and getting to work in Squamish at this stunning venue, was an incredible experience! I've been dying to share it for over a year now, and am stoked to have finally started to catch up on blogging. Phew!

When I first started chatting with Laura & Joe, their main priority was finding a modern space surrounded by trees. The couple lives in Alberta, and so this was a destination wedding for all those involved, and they wanted to showcase the natural beauty that the west coast has to offer. Now, finding a forest venue, that is NOT rustic, is certainly a challenge, but I was up for it and did many a happy dances when we stumbled upon the Cheakamus Centre in Squamish. The rest of the planning was an absolute delight, and I loved getting to work alongside the couple on their unique and non-traditional wedding. My favourite moment has to have been Laura's bouquet: both of her sisters walked her down the aisle, each holding a piece of her bouquet. Then, during the ceremony, the 2 pieces were joined, signifying the coming together of 2 families. It was absolutely beautiful, and there wasn't a dry eye in the place!

There were so many lovely little details all throughout this wedding, and we are still so grateful that this wonderful couple took us on their wedding planning journey! Enjoy! xo
