Congrats to Carmen and Rhys!
Remember Carmen from the engagement session? The sweet girl who was afraid she wouldn’t know how to pose for photos and was worried she’d look silly? hmmm… I think she was just bluffing!
Yes, she was definitely just making it all up!
Carmen and Rhys were married December 29 in Victoria on Vancouver Island. We loved having a wedding between Christmas and New Years- it filled that awkward gap between the two holidays and it was so nice to feel the energy of all the guests still in holiday spirit. It was an awesome day- lots of entertainment during the reception and some major dancing afterwards. And we were thrilled to see the guests having a fun time with our new crazy photobooth (more details on that later this week!).
Carmen and Rhys, congrats! We hope you enjoy your sneak preview.
The very elegant gown, captured earlier in the day before the reception. Two words: Red Wine.
We loved playing with the ceiling for the ceremony photos:
Soon after the ceremony, we drove to the English Inn for photos. It was a race against time because of the disappearing light and the incoming storm. But the photo ops were plentiful here, as was the kissing!
Thanks for playing along with us on this one. A bit strange for a wedding photo, I know. But really, did you think I could just walk past this and not do something with it? 
Reception time!
And the cake was good too!
Proof that a little–or possibly a lot– of red wine down the dress will NOT effect your awesome day (you can’t even see it!):

Hi Leslie!
I just saw your bio on the Secret blog. I’m going to the San Fran workshop too!
This is sort of forward… but from reading your bio and checking your photo style, it seems like we would have a lot in common, (young, married, no kids - awesome MODERN style!!! haha) and I’m curious if you’re needing a roommate for the workshop?
If not, I understand, but looking forward to meeting anyways at the workshop! I’ve had a goal of attending a shop for some time now, and I’ve thought about Image is Found’s one day shootshop, but being just one day, I thought it might be a little a wiser investment to attend the Secret Shop instead. And I’m so excited about working with Jinky!
Have a good day!
Julie

Wine on the dress - every bride’s fear! Good for her that she didn’t let it stop the fun!

Yes she was awesome, she wasn’t bothered by it at all!
Julie- I emailed you back! San Fran is going to be awesome
