HELICOPTER WEDDING:
At the top of a 4000 ft mountain, this couple said "I Do" after 3 years of changes, cancellations and Covid frustrations. I'm so proud of them and I am absolutely honored to have shared this experience with them.
Photographs by The Macleans: Kelsey and Morgan. I would work with them any day!!

I am missing Wedding Season this year.

Running through the check-list with 2 more sleeps left to go. Being greeted by the smell of fresh flowers and hand-crafted decorations at the venue. Hoping and wishing the Rehearsal was enough practice so the Wedding Party is not nervous. The extra attention Mother-of-the-Bride gave to her pretty hair style. The cuff links on the Best Man’s sleeves. Doing the final sound check so our honored Elder can hear her Granddaughter’s Vows. Anticipation building while Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud” drifts across the ceremonial area as people take their seats.
A-h-h-h! Deep breaths.

We’ll drink up the ambiance together next year.

A COVID WEDDING
It's difficult to be grateful for Covid-19. It has turned our world upside-down - topsy-turvy. And yet, it has offered us a way to slow down just a little, to be with those who mean everything to us and to weigh out our priorities.

As mysterious and covert as this virus is, LOVE is stronger, more powerful and ever enduring. This couple found out that their true priority was to get married. Yes, they will celebrate with their friends and family later, but just for today they chose LOVE. (Her parents are on Skype)

A little funny to help keep our spirits high...

If you are having to weigh the pros and cons of postponing your Wedding, here are some suggestions that might help you make that heart wrenching decision.

Don't forget that I'm here for you. Together we can mull things over and come up with a "new" great plan. Not all is lost - just postponed for a bit.

My heart is with you both.

Sadly, the Coronavirus has impacted wedding planning. We are sad to see couples disappointed, and here is what you need to know.

Wow! What an exciting testimonial. It speaks to the "Why" I do this work and my heart is full.
Congratulations to my couple who have found their "Why".

"Al and I want to thank you for helping us to renew our vows to each other. It was very powerful. We both feel it is the beginning of a new journey for us. My family obligations are over now so we are back in the same house again, and spending some much needed time together. I went for a long walk today and cried for all the things that kept us apart. This is like a new starting place for us. Thank you so much for the new beginning. It means everything to us." ~ Diane and Al
