A Fun Filled Outdoor Wedding // La Cite Francophone, Edmonton, Alberta
Sonya and Zach exchanged their vows under the sun on the beautiful patio of La Cité Francophone. What a big change from their engagement session where we were freezing our toes off (haha) – it was a perfect sunny Saturday for a wedding.
Having been in a relationship for quite a few years and already living together for over 5, Sonya and Zach were super relaxed on their wedding morning. Never have I had a more chill vibe from the whole bridal party just hours before the ceremony – I loved it! When Tori and I first arrived at S+Z’s condo that morning, they were all hanging out, making tea, eating Vietnamese noodles (yum!) and watching TV. A few minutes later, the guys (and Caitlin of course!) took a shot of something strong and left for the venue so Sonya could put on her dress without Zach seeing her just yet. Sonya slipped into her beautiful knee-high dress, put on her funky Fluevog shoes, said goodbye to the kitty ♥︎ and we were also off!
The ceremony was perfect – filled with laughs and a beautiful reading from a family member that sure brought tears to many eyes. While the guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers (and the kids enjoyed the bubbles!), I whisked the newlyweds and the bridal party away to Irene Parbly Park for some fun and intimate photos.
The rest of the evening was spent dancing, signing and enjoying delicious food from Cafe Bicyclette.
Sonya and Zach. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to capture your wedding day. It couldn’t have been more perfect and I’m so thrilled to share these memories with you. xx
