Rachel & Bryan’s Jewel-Toned Wedding in the Red Deer Area

When I first met Rachel and Bryan, I immediately noticed their love of all things geeky.  Rachel showed me her sapphire engagement ring – like Zora’s Sapphire from “Zelda: Ocarina of Time” – and I needed to befriend these people.

I know them so much better now and I can safely say that they are genuine, funny, and geekier than ever.  They are wonderful.

Their wedding day was filled with sapphire blue and the ceremony was held outdoors on the wedding island at Wolf’s Botanical.  It’s such a peaceful place and guests enjoyed the view as they strolled across the bridge onto the island.  Before long, Rachel and her father were crossing that bridge to where Bryan waited, beaming.  Ryder, their dog, was also in attendance and looked mildly concerned about all of the activity and people.  He did look sharp in his bowtie, though.

Of course, their bridal party was just as playful and they kept everyone laughing throughout portraits and straight on into the evening.  Rachel and Bryan’s first dance was a visual masterpiece, between the colourful lights, disco ball, and clouds drifting across the floor.  Seriously.  Scroll down if you don’t believe me.  By the time I left at the end of the night, everyone was still dancing up a storm and Rachel and Bryan were looking a little worn out, in a happy, best-day-of-their-lives kind of way.  It was a beautiful day..
