real wedding ~ melanie and jason

Here's a sneak peek at a recent wedding we worked on with Tallevi Studios. Melanie and Jason, from Fort St. John in Northern BC, decided they wanted a wedding in the mountains and fell in love with Whistler from online photos. Their entire wedding was planned by phone and email without ever making a single site visit prior to showing up for their big day!

They of course fell in love with Whistler and it's beauty and charm as soon as they arrived and their wedding was beautiful.

Thank you Karen Tallevi for sharing these so quickly and a HUGE congratulations to Melanie and Jason.

real wedding ~ melanie and jordan part ll

We promised the rest of the photos by Anastasia Photography and here they are. Originally we thought these would be split into two more posts, but we couldn't stop ourselves from sharing everything today, so you get all of it.

I love, love. Who doesn't. And I know I often write about such incredible love found, but Melanie and Jordan's connection is on such a deep level that you feel like you know them from simply looking at their photos. It has been captured so simply and beautifully and candidly.

So grab a tissue, and enjoy the rest of the story.

On the dock popping the champagne. This is probably the closest bridal party we've ever seen ~ they know how to have fun!

We love these playful shots.

The color theme was a bright pop of yellow on blue. The runners were custom made for length and to find just the right tone. Each table was crowned with yellow freesia, yellow caspedia balls, yellow mokara orchids, yellow gerbera and gemini daisies all placed in tiny white and clear vases. The effect was incredible against the warm and worn woods of Dusty's.

We've never seen guests be so enthralled with the speeches. Not one guest missed a word and laughter mixed with some tears was continual.

The Mark Goodall Band stirred up the dance floor playing covers with a twist. Even a few Brittany Spears songs which sounded amazing coming from male voices.
