You’re about to look at photos from the happiest wedding ever. Ok i’ve been to a lot of happy weddings, but this is in the top 3 at least. Mariel and Jesse’s wedding this June was so much fun that I went into a bit of withdrawal from them once it was over. Their ceremony was at the beautiful Christ Church Cathedral and their reception was at The Wardroom in Esquimalt. We spent all day and all night with them, and loved absolutely every minute of it. Jesse has got to be the most excited groom i’ve ever come across… being into photography himself he was all about the photos. More importantly though, I just love the way he looks at Mariel… and the way she looks at him back! They both look so in love and so serene. And obviously they are both gorgeous. Weddings are long days for everyone, and most couples get pretty tired after their portraits.. but that was not the case here. Somehow Mariel and Jesse seemed to get more energy and more excited as the day went on, and this energy was also shared by all their guests. Their flowergirl Anika-Ocean, danced the entire night away without so much as a yawn. (also- how cute is she!!!) During family photos I barely had to say a word because everyone was laughing and smiling their heads off! On top of all this i’ve ready taken pictures of 3 of the 5 bridesmaids, so the morning was just like hanging out with old friends. That feeling continued throughout the whole night, as Tristan and I happily joined them at their lively after-party. This wedding was full of light [literally] and happiness, and i’m beyond stoked that Tris and I were chosen to document this delightful day!!
