Gemma & Steve {Married} Part II

Ok this post is kind of going to be ridiculously long.  So grab a cup of your favourite tea, or may hot chocolate for this chilly day, and maybe even a cozy blanket and settle in for a good long post.

Gemma and Steve were a treat to photograph.  They are the sweetest couple.  I love how when the two of them are together it is like no one else is around.  There is true love in their eyes and it is so heart warming to see.

They put so much effort and attention to detail into their day.  From a beautiful hotel room at the Inn at the Laurel Point to get ready in, gorgeous wedding accessories to shoot, stunning ceremony location (the incredible St. Anne’s Academy) and time for multiple shoot locations, I was in heaven.

I think it is the most relaxing start to a bride’s day to have the hair and make-up come to her.  And that is exactly what Gemma did.  The fabulous Joanne McPherson was responsible for Gemma’s make-up perfection and the lovely Keri Brenton, worked her magic on their beautiful hair.

After the wonderful ceremony at St. Anne’s, Steve and Gemma had factored in enough photo time for us to venture to 3 different locations for their formal photos, and I have to say that I love the variety!   We started with the lovely grounds at St. Anne’s, then headed to China Town for some fun vibrant shots and then off to the stunning Art Gallery of Greater Victoria for a completely unique look.  A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful staff there who were completely accommodating with us taking over the gallery for a little while.  I have so many favourites from their day and I just can’t post them all, but I hope you enjoy what you see.

If you missed Part I of their photos you can view them here.  I’d love to hear from you!  So feel free to leave me a comment below 🙂

Girl, you did it again! Such great work. Love the shot of the church, the one of the girls’ bouquets, and the last of the newlyweds. To name a few 🙂
