It was breathtaking, really. I arrived at the house in Tsawwassen and I was overtaken by the light in the kitchen and the beachy views off the back yard. But the real star that morning was Samantha, as she sat calmly in her chair while Mink Makeup and Hair worked their magic, transforming her into a bride for her wedding day.
It was easy to get swept up in the details - the beautiful flowers by Garden Party Flowers, the delicate Jenny Packham gown, the blue hair clip from Etsy….but when you really get down to it, it was all about the love that had grown between Samantha and Justin over many years of being together and their family and friends celebrating that.
A big thank you to Sam and Justin for having me along for the ride for your wonderful nuptials and I also extend my thanks to your families for making me feel so welcome and for being so incredibly helpful.
And also a thank you to my sidekick for the day, that fantastic Jarusha Brown.
Congrats and enjoy!
