I will forever remember this wedding as the best first look reaction ever! Shawn was totally blown away when he saw Maryam in her wedding attire! You may notice that our beautiful bride has three different bouquets in the photos…. a little mishap with their florist (they thought the wedding was the Saturday, not the Friday!) left Maryam without a bouquet! With some quick resourceful thinking, we created one with flowers from the front desk, then later during her bridesmaids photos another wedding on the property was kind enough to lend them theris, and finally her actual flowers arrived in the nick of time for the ceremony!

Describe the vision/theme you had for your wedding in 5 words or less: Simple ceremony in a beautiful outdoor setting.
What are you favorite memories of your wedding day?
Bride: The ceremony and the shoe game.
Groom: First look.
Best wedding related decision: Getting a wedding planner.
Favourite detail: The cake was far more beautiful than anticipated.
Advice for future brides & grooms: Get a wedding planner. Not only did it take stress away but it let us enjoy our day.
Would you change anything if you could do it all over again? Instead of having a Friday wedding, we would have our wedding on a Saturday so the florist doesn’t forget to send the flowers.
Best surprise of the day: The surprise guest…..the Belly Dancer!
Anything else you’d like to add: HRM made the photo experience easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend Heather….she gets 5 stars!
