Watermark Wedding: Kim and Justin

April 25, 2009

Kim and Justin had their wedding ceremony and reception at the Watermark restaurant in Kits.  The gals got ready at the luxurious L’Hermitage hotel downtown, which was an exciting treat for indoor photos!  Here’s a glimpse into their day:

And over to the boyz… I think it’s so cool that the groomsmen got personalized cuff links fit to their personalities!!groomsmen preparation shots

I have never seen tears explode with such force as they did when Kim saw Justin for the first time on their wedding day.. It was one amazing tear bomb!  Kim thought she’d get the tears over with so that the same thing didn’t happen at the ceremony… but she cried at the ceremony too : ) bride and groom see each other for first time

We were extremely lucky with the weather- it seemed to sprinkle rain at all times except when we were outside for photoswatermark wedding

Time to get married!  The ceremony was officiated by our favorite Karen Ell.  We have recommended her for so many weddings this year, so I think we’ll be seeing her again! watermark wedding
