Bill and Stacey - Arrowwood Wedding

Garth and I had the pleasure of spending the day with Bill and Stacey and their families last month... I know I know.... that was a while ago! Sorry! I had a few things going on in the meantime.... mainly moving across the Rockies! Anyways, I made a quick trip down to Calgary, shot the wedding and headed back to Prince George on Sunday, loaded our UHaul and drove back to Calgary on Wednesday! Not something I'd recommend, but it was worth it!

I was a little leary at first when I learned of the wedding date given that you never know what is going to happen the end of March..... well I was blown away by the gorgeous day we were given!
Beautiful warm sunny day, little bit of wind to deal with but a great snowless March afternoon!

Stacey worked very hard at planning their big day and did not disappoint! Every detail was thought out and there were no hiccups to deal with at all. She made a very beautiful bride and her smile was radiant! And Bill was the reason for that gorgeous smile. Bill was soooo much fun to watch during the day. He truly wore his heart on his sleeve and it was very evident that he was in love! The emotion he shared throughout the day was a testament to how deeply he feels about his bride.

Big shout out to Holly of The Lily Pad Inc. for the gorgeous foliage for the day. The bouquets were amazing! Her touch was evident throughout the reception hall and church. What a gifted girl! If you are in need of flowers for your special occasion check her out! She did a great job of helping Stacey bring her vision to reality. I hope you got some sleep that night Holly after pulling an allnighter to get ready! It was great meeting you and I hope we meet at another wedding soon!

Thank you Bill and Stacey for letting us join you, we had a great time! I'm sure that your honeymoon was a relaxing time and that you are more than ready to get down to real life and start out together! I hope you enjoy these few photos from the wedding, I'm looking forward to getting the rest to you soon!

I had a great day shooting with Garth it confirmed in my mind that he needs to join me more often as my second shooter as he got some amazing shots and kept us all relaxed! Thanks Garth! I love you!!





Garth got this one and I LOVE IT!!!!

Bill and Stacey own the Main Street Eatery in Arrowwood and we had to include in a few shots.
Stop by for a meal!

I think at first Bill and Stacey were a little skeptical at my choice of the main street for a location, but I'm so glad they trusted me because this was my favorite location of the day!
This is one of my favorites from the day, they had so much fun!

I couldn't resist this classic prairie shot.... I'm a prairie girl at heart and love these wide open spaces!
