I am delighted to announce Ryan and Julie’s wedding!!! These two tied the knot at Cherry Creek Estate just outside of Kimberley, BC and it couldn’t have been more perfect!
Ryan and Julie met online and after a few years of dating, he attempted to propose on the top of Machu Pichu! I say attempted because of a series of events on the ever long trail he ended up waiting four days after their hike to Machu Pichu and proposed while the two were sitting in a hammock in Peru. How perfect does that sound?! You can read their proposal story here.
Julie and Ryan decided to do a first look before the ceremony started. I loved the look on his face when he first saw her! The two of them were just beaming!
The wedding was truly beautiful. The ceremony was lovely and they were surrounded by family and close friends. Julie looked stunning in her wedding gown and her bouquet and long veil (perfect for a windy day) were beautiful. What made things even more perfect was the fact that the fountain went off behind them right when they had their first kiss and husband and wife.
After the ceremony, we headed out for formal photos. The grounds were beautiful and the people at Cherry Creek Estate were wonderful and drove us around to get to different locations. There were so many beautiful options for photos at Cherry Creek! The Buggy Barn was awesome for the groomsmen! And, we even drove out to a place with the mountains in the background, which was perfect as Ryan and Julie really wanted the mountains in some of their wedding photos.
Their reception was also pretty wonderful and was held inside a beautifully decorated barn with details to represent the couples’ interests. The homemade jam favors were darling, and I loved that they had special coloring books and crayons for the kids (and a few of the adults too 🙂 )! The food was amazing and the slideshow and letter from Ryan’s grandpa back in Eastern Canada were awesome!! I even snuck this wonderful couple out mid-reception to grab a few photos with the horses!! Julie loves horses so this was a perfect end to a perfect day! Thanks for letting me share your special day with you, Ryan and Julie, and I wish you all the best!
