On any given weekend, we find ourselves opening the doors of a beautiful book store. The sections are clearly labeled on signs above our heads: travel & destination, romance, food lovers, etc… The shelves are lined with books, every one of them glorious in their design, many bursting with vibrant color combination’s while others wait patiently to be found, subdued in shades of black and white. The real beauty for us though, is that every one is different. Every one a surprise. Overflowing with love and care; their futures - all waiting to be unveiled.
… and on any given weekend we find ourselves pulling one of those books off the shelf and opening up to discover a beautiful love story. This particular love story, came from the “love & adventure” category, and took place in a town called Oakville, not far from Gairloch Gardens. This is the love story, of Marlena & Mike.
Marlena & Mike are not of the subdued nature. They live and love boldly, as evidenced with the gorgeous shade of deep purple they implemented into nearly every aspect of their wedding day. Every detail, large and small connected through this bold shade of purple, from her stylish satin stiletto heels, to the decorative flowers which trimmed the cake and dozens of cupcakes. The bridesmaid’s gowns and the groomsmen’s matching ties. The sashes on the chair covers and the centerpieces atop the tables. Colour was everywhere – and it was beautiful.
In addition to her spectacular purple heels, Marlena wore a pair of dazzling tear-drop diamond earrings and a strapless off-white gown with pleats across the chest in alternating heights. Her small waist was accentuated with a beautiful belt of white ribbon, silk roses and a diamond encrusted broach. Marlena was one of the most unique and pretty brides you can imagine.
Mike & Marlena, their bridal party and all of their family and friends, were an absolute blast to photograph. They loved the camera, they loved the dance floor and they loved, loved, loved being present to see this beloved couple, find their fairy tale ending. And so did we.
Mike & Marlena – nothing makes us happier than discovering a real life love story with an amazingly happy ending. We were intrigued when we met you, we were delighted when we arrived to photograph you two and we are to this day, grateful to have experienced your story. Thank you again and congratulations!
