Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: simple, elegant, casual, personal.

What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: Getting ready with the bridesmaids. Finishing the ceremony and relaxing. The speeches.
Groom: The bride coming down the stairs at the venue and heading down the aisle outdoors. The first dance. The speeches.

Best wedding related decision: Choosing an all inclusive venue for the ceremony and reception that also had hotel rooms for our out of town guests.

Favourite detail: the invitations we designed to reflect our interests and taste.

Advice for future brides & grooms: Start planning early. Don't go overboard fretting about little details - you won't have time to notice most of them anyway.

Would you change anything if you could do it all over again? No.

Best surprise of the day: Finding out who had a birthday that day. Instead of clinking glasses, guests had to show that they were born on our wedding day to request that the bride and groom kiss.

Favorite HRM picture from the day (and why?): Too hard to choose from 600+ photos!

WEDDING SONGS: Processional - Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring - Bach | Recessional - Two of Us - The Beatles | Entrance - Viva la Vida - Coldplay | First Dance - Love is all Around - Wet Wet Wet | Parent Dances - A Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum

Amy & Richard
Unionville Ontario Wedding

I love a good DIY wedding and Amy and Richard went all out with beautiful crafts and details to make their wedding unique. I must say that the surprise ambush ceremony on a bus was a challenge to photograph....but oh so fun and memorable! Amy and Richard met while working for VIVA transit and wanted to incorporate that into their big day.

Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: Fun, intimate, unique, eco-friendly.

What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: Seeing everyone's reaction when we ambushed them!
Groom: Having two 60 ft buses down Main St. Unionville

Best wedding related decision: Taking on all the DIY projects, not only did we save tons of money, those items were also what made the day uniquely ours.

Favourite detail: The multicultural food. The frappaccino on the bus and the pop bottles during the photo session. The Ontario sparkling apple cider for the toast. And the Marble Slab station at the reception! Everybody loved them!

Advice for future brides & grooms: 1) Communicate with each other. Not knowing what is going on is the #1 stress inducer. 2) Don't get too caught up with the details. Those who are truly your friends are there to celebrate your committment and love for each other, not the prime rib at the reception!

Would you change anything if you could do it all over again? Nothing at all!

Best surprise of the day: Our son, Nikolas, behaved very well throughout the day, especially during the ceremony.

Favorite HRM picture from the day (and why?): 327, 425, 429, 529 (So whimsical!), 555, 590

Anything else you'd like to add: Yes! - Lindsay, you are amazing!
