Our schedules were both so busy and it was less than a week away from her wedding, before I finally met Makala. She is the sweetest person with a warm and bubbly personality and she was also getting married in my hometown. After only a couple of minutes of chatting with her, I was so excited to be her wedding photographer! I knew we would work well together because she was so easy going!
The night before her wedding, I think everyone was feeling nervous jitters as the thunder, lightening and rain storm passed over but the morning brought beautiful warm sunshine! There was hardly a cloud in the sky and the softest summer breeze. The day was everything a June wedding should be.
The morning started with the guys who were all ready, relaxed and ready to have a good time. Jessie appeared very calm but excited! After the guys pictures I headed over to the Granite Town Hotel for the bridal preparations. There were so many laughs between all of the bridesmaids, with everyone oohing and awing over the pretty details of Makala’s dress. The flower girls were being very sweet and so patient while waiting for everyone. Makala told us she had not spoken to Jessie all day and she was wondering how Jessie was faring.
Everything ran on time, Makala’s amazing hair and makeup team did incredible work and had all of the bridal party ready with time to spare. The bride wanted to put on her dress with only her best friend and mother in the room. The girls were completely ready and headed out into the hallway to give the bride a little quiet. When the dress was on and her jewellery in place she invited her bridesmaids and flower girls back into the hotel room for the big reveal. There was gasps, tears, hugs and so much happiness for their beloved friend.
Jessie and Makala were married surrounded by family and friends who loved this couple so much and when she walked down the aisle, again more happy tears were shed by their guests.
My favourite moments? During the bride and groom’s formal portraits I would ask the groom to give a soft kiss and it would last and last. They are so madly in love with each other and their happiness is contagious.
Thank you Makala and Jessie for having me as your photographer, I enjoyed spending the day with with you both and getting to know you and your amazing families. I wish you both happiness in your future!
