Wedding in St Andrews NB | Sangeetha and Noel

On July 29th, I did not plan on shooting a wedding in St Andrews NB. However, I had the opportunity to head back to Kingsbrae Gardens and Hillside to meet the sweetest family and friends of Sangeetha and Noel! They had a beautiful wedding planned, with all of their loved ones at Kingsbrae Gardens but their wedding photographer from India was unable to make it, last minute. Sangeetha reached out to several photographers, only a few of weeks before the big day and found so many to be booked. The New Brunswick photographer community is quite small and extremely supportive and immediately began reaching out, through their networks, to every photographer. Who was free this day? Who could help this couple out? Sangeetha said they were surprised at how other photographers rallied and were able to give her a list the choose from!

She reached out and called from her home in Ontario and I knew this was going to be a perfect match! She is sweet, down to earth and so laid back! The Tuesday before the wedding we did their engagement session and Saturday arrived before we knew it!

Both had incredible people standing up with the in their weddings parties! The Groomsmen were fun, polite and looking forward to seeing their friend be married to the love of his life. Sangeetha’s sweet bridesmaids kept smiling at her with joy and were so happy she had met someone who made her so happy!

The details that Sangeetha put into her day were lovely! From the beaded shawl for Mass, to the seashell tiara she felt suited the St Andrews by the Sea and the gorgeous veil that she and Noel created themselves!

Thank you Sangeetha and Noel for reaching out and I am so happy I was able to be a part of this amazing day for the both of you and meeting your amazing family and friends!! I am so glad I was able to capture an additional wedding in St Andrews!

Jenna and Matt | St Andrews NB Wedding

First wedding of the season kicked off in St Andrews, New Brunswick at Kingsbrae Gardens. I am thrilled that this year wedding season began with such an sweet and amazing couple!

I have been photographing Jenna and Matt’s story from the time they were expecting their first little little, newborn pictures, family pictures, another maternity and the newborn pictures of their second son.

I was driving to the studio one day and Jenna messaged me and told me to look, I pulled over on the highway and it was a picture of her engagement ring! She told her bridesmaids on her wedding day, that I was the second person to find out! I was so happy to be the one, to capture this special day for this amazing couple.

When I arrived at the Blue Heron Inn, Jenna was as relaxed as could be. As her photographer, I was a little bit worried because we encounter HAIL on our drive into St Andrews. before arriving for the girls getting ready pictures, I went to the Algonquin, where Matt and the boys were getting ready and asked the staff about using the empty Rotunda for pictures, just in case the heavy rain did not cease, I wanted to have a pretty back up in place. However, Jenna said she would NOT talk about the rain because the sun would shine! We could see some sunshine in the distance and cross our fingers and tried to share her optimism.

Before she put on her beautiful and stylish gown, Jenna read a packet of letters from everyone who loved her (and there were a pile!) and her eyes were misty with emotion. Her bridesmaids begged her not to cry so she wouldn’t ruin her makeup!

Matt and Jenna opted to have a ‘First Look’, before the ceremony they met privately to see each other for the first time and have their formal pictures. It started with rain but when we hopped on the golf cart, driven by a staff member at Kingbrae, the sun peaked through the clouds and we went throughout the gardens. Rain would stop and start and finally clearing up a little bit and we quickly headed to the Block House.

The wedding party and family met us back at Kingsbrae, we took everyone’s picture by same tree she hoped to be married under. We were rushing because in the distance the black clouds were rolling closer and the thunder could be heard. The wedding party retreated for a short time and we headed into the tent as the storm approached. Everyone stared sadly, from the tent,  at the pretty white chairs that were outside, set up for an outdoor wedding. Plans were made to have the ceremony inside but then Jenna’s hopeful attitude prevailed and the cloud split and the sun began to shine brightly.

Staff from Kingsbrae, guests and family sprung into action by wiping down chairs and replacing the decor to its original spots outside…and Jenna was able to have her beautiful outdoor wedding.

Thank you Jenna and Matt for including me in your wedding as your photographer! I could not be happier for you both!

St Andrews Wedding

They met at the gym in Alberta. Stephanie said it was just for coffee that then turned into lunch, which turned into dinner. She and Jason may have been from opposite ends of the country but they were meant to be together.

Stephanie and Jason are two of the most adorable couples I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Their love for each other is apparent through their actions. From Stephanie becoming a die hard Nascar fan that would rival Jason’s own devotion for the sport or their engagement that Jason planned, which included Vegas, an amazing restaurant, and involving the staff at the restaurant for presenting the ring.

Together, with family and friends from all over Canada and some from the United States, they joined their lives in a beautiful ceremony in St Andrews, NB at the Kingsbrae Gardens. Their wedding was perfect. No detail was overlooked and the weather cooperated with an unusually warm spring day.

Thank you Stephanie and Jason for the honor of including us in your lovely day. Your family and friends were so amazing and we hope for the best in your future together!
