Yvonne and Tim were originally from Calgary but have moved to a WA for their work. When they first contacted me, Yvonne and I spent hours over MSN instant messenger chatting about our work and her wedding. We didn’t meet in person until just three days before the wedding.
Tim wore a set of cuff links with a map of Calgary and Toronto. Calgary was where they first fell in love and Toronto was where they got engaged. Before heading out for pictures, Yvonne gave Tim a harmonica but warned him not to play it during the reception.
Their wedding was exactly how Yvonne had described. A simple intimate affair at The Ranche with just over twenty of their closest family and friends. Best man Mark played “All I Want Is You” by Barry Louis Polisar on a portable MP3 player. We all had a few laughs watching him try to cue the music with the remote.
After the ceremony, Diane had the Polaroid Reporter out and we took a Polaroid mug shot of everybody and gave everyone a print to take home. This is something we can’t really do in a larger wedding. We love watching everyone wait the 90 seconds for the film to develop and seeing them peel open the paper to reveal the image. =)
Yvonne had in mind an elegant and rustic feel for her wedding, channeling our western and cowboy roots. The Ranche was perfect for them. The stone and wood beam construction went quite well with the coral, peach, pink and brown colors. She had made letterpress menus and laser cut name tags for the favors, which were chocolate cowboy hats. Everything was tied together by the floral arrangement by Occasional Bloom
