Jenn and Travis: Vernon Carnival Wedding 09.03.2011

This wedding was so much fun!!! I had been looking forward to it for awhile! I couldn’t wait to see how Jenn put together their carnival themed wedding! These two are adorable together!! Jenn still is a kid at heart and wanted a wedding that was relaxed and fun! Travis has the wildest hair, and LOVES Kiss and his Camaro! They incorporated all of their likes into their wedding making it one of the uniquest weddings I have ever been to or seen!

The ceremony was out at one of my favourite places ever! O’Keefe Ranch! The ranch was founded in 1867! The church is adorable, and very small! We were cramped in there!  But it gave the wedding a cozy intimate feeling.

Marco was my amazing amazing 2nd shooter for the day! I am so grateful I had him along! He got some GREAT shots at the church and throughout the day! Thanks honey! :)

After their ceremony, we headed to the IPE in Armstrong. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the IPE, it’s the Okanagan’s version of the PNE! It’s a huge fair and rodeo! Jenn and Travis got tons of looks, but we got some great pictures! They had a blast on the carosel, playing games and wandering the grounds.

From there we headed back to O’Keefe Ranch so we could get a few more pictures there, and so Jenn could change into her 2nd dress! She surprised all her guests by changing out of her white dress into a more “carnival” dress! It definitly fit the theme! :)

The reception was held in Travis’ parents backyard!  They are amazing! Travis’ Dad not only cooked all the food, but he also baked the cake! It was amazing! The food, the cake, the candy table, the decorations, it was perfect!! It was exactly how Jenn had invisioned it!

Congrats Jenn and Travis!

Thanks Marco for getting these shots of Travis getting ready!

 

 

 

 

 

Jenn ordered her bouquet custom made from Etsy. It’s a vintage broach bouquet. She got her girls matching clutches.

 

 

 

 Marco caught these two while I was inside waiting for the bride!

 The toilet paper game for lifelong control of the remote! Poor Travis didn’t stand a chance! haha

 

 hahaha didn’t see this coming at all!!! A lesson in why you should ALWAYS keep your camera up at your eye! JUST in case!

 

 

 Thanks Marco for getting these ones of my hard at work! My hair normally isn’t that crazy! It was so hot out!

 

And one of my sexy 2nd shooter! Thanks so much for all your help! You took some amazing pics! I love working together! :)

    Marco was using my old camera, a Canon 40D. He has figured out how to use it over the past couple years since I bought it, just so I wasn’t always behind the camera! Once we decided he would 2nd shoot a few weddings for me I taught him how to use it on manual! I think he rocked it! I was so proud! :)
