Hey there friends =) This past Friday we had the pleasure of working with two absolutely incredible people, Angie and Tyson. When we first chatted with Angie about the wedding, she explained a lot of the detail that the wedding would include, this was the incredible vintage dress she purchased for $5, the absolutely stunning vintage bridesmaid dresses she was sewing, the bouquet made from wild flowers and flowers from her mom’s garden, and all the incredible small details that would be included at the reception. There was only one problem. We were already booked for their wedding date, thankfully they moved their wedding just so we would be available to photograph it!!
Angie and Tyson are incredibly creative people. Angie is a clothing designer (Norwegian Wood,) and Tyson is an artist (http://tysonbodnarchuk.com/,) in Montreal. They were able to pull together a lot of their wedding through purchases on http://www.etsy.com/ and full vendor list can be seen below the images =)
There were so many incredible small details that went into this day. You will see all of the wedding party with what looks to be war medals. These were all custom made out of wood, and featured the name of each individual person. We should also mention the wedding party were incredibly awesome to work with, so relaxed, and pretty much willing to do any crazy idea possible =) The place mats on the tables for dinner were all custom made from vintage fabric, some of which was also used in the dresses. The ceremony was held in the back yard of Angie’s parents, and was such an intimate moment, as it was officiated by Tyson’s brother.
We will never forget this wedding, not only was it filled by super awesome details, but absolutely incredible moments, emotion, and people.
Thank you Angie and Tyson, it was definitely an absolute privilege to meet you both, you guys took our breath away even more then the double rainbow ;-)
