When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.
These two are pretty much the most adorable couple you will ever meet. Their Drayton Valley wedding was a day filled with love, laughter and emotion surrounded by family and friends from all over the province, and included guests from as far away as New Zealand. Three flower girls and three ring bearers were simply the cutest thing you ever saw and were amazing in their duties throughout the day. Honestly, they were awesome!
But the stars of the day were the beautiful couple. Becky looked absolutely gorgeous, and Tony looked very handsome in his suit. He was so excited to get married, he was dressed and ready to go almost hours before anyone else!The couple wrote letters to each other, which they read prior to the ceremony. This was a wonderful touching moment, and I was happy to have caught both readings on camera.
After the ceremony, we drove out to Becky's grandparents farm for family pictures. I have to say that both Becky and Tony come from amazing families. I arrived in town the day before for rehearsals, and Becky's grandparents graciously gave me a tour of their farm so I could scope out some locations for photos the next day. Her grandfather quickly pointed out "Becky's Tree" to me on the yard, and told me the story of the homestead. There was so much history in the yard, it was easy to see why Becky and Tony wanted to have their photos taken there.
The day ended with a fabulous traditional Ukrainian meal. It was so delicious. Perogies? Cabbage rolls? I mean honestly... it was amazing! And then the party began, and this group knew how to party! They played games. They danced the butterfly. They danced the Kolomeyka!
This was a wonderful day, and I was so honored to be a part of it. Tony and Becky, you are such a fun couple, and I wish you many, many years of happiness, laughter and love.
Love,
Em :)
