No, this won’t be a French post. In fact, I don’t really even speak French. This title came courtesy of a translation. I know you really thought I was “multi-talented” though.
I was never really good at "speaking" French. I just took mandatory classes in school and never really advanced much farther than that. I am pretty sure I understand it more that I think at times. The accent gets me though...I'll never learn that.
So Karen and Cory are good friends of ours. Truth be told, Karen was actually the MC at our wedding. (And did a wicked awesome job.) It was no surprise to me when they got engaged last year. Cory popped the question on her birthday. What a guy.
Karen is a meticulous planner, and down to the finest details, it showed on her wedding day. Everything was near perfect. (And I don’t say that very often.) Even the fact that the rain stopped at all the right moments during the day, was almost mysterious and well-orchestrated, although I can’t say for sure.
As such the day was awesome. We took every opportunity for photos that we could during the day, which is why I ended up taking more photos than I even have before, a sampling of which you will check out below.
The wedding and reception were both held at a definite diamond in the rough. The
Niverville Heritage Centre is about 25 minutes from the city and is terrific venue for both events. They have a great space for the ceremony, which is all pine with a fantastic looking, two-tiered staircase. But of course, Karen picked it, so I wouldn't imagine anything but.
So alas, they are now married. Karen and Cory, I was thrilled and honored to shoot your day. Thanks so much, and we can't wait to see photos from Europe!
