Ahh I’ve been excited to share this wedding for a while. Having never been to Minter Gardens before (and hearing they’re sadly going to close later this year), I was eager to see a new place, capture some beautiful photos and spend some more time photographing the beautiful bride and groom! I only met Monica and Samuel a few months ago but the three of us were comfortable with each other from the get go! After a gorgeous engagement session in Yaletown and Granville Island (with some photos on the always cute Aqua Bus), we were all looking forward to working together again. I love their style and the way they photograph .. they both require so little direction and are so cute together.

Their Minter Gardens wedding was small, intimate .. there were less than 15 of us including the musicians! As I mentioned before, I love intimate small weddings .. it’s nice getting to know each guest .. something that’s almost impossible to do with big weddings! While the atmosphere is more casual, more relaxed, the charm, the elegance remains. And there was so much charm and elegance with Monica and Samuel .. I fell in love with their entire family!

See below for some of my favourites from the short but oh so sweet day! And let me tell you, there were many favourites!
