I’ve been waiting for this wedding since I photographed Angela’s two sisters’ weddings many many years ago. Angela and Chris mark my third and final wedding for the Stove family- I’ve now completed the trifecta of Stove siblings’ weddings! Being with this crew was like walking into a big family reunion. So many familiar faces and stories. I feel so connected to this family and the incredible love they have for one another. Adding to the emotion of the day, Angela chose to honour her best friend, who recently lost her battle with cancer, with personal touches throughout the day. She wore pieces of her best friend’s jewelry, included a sweet bumblebee in her bouquet (a play on her nickname), and even included a photo of her amongst the guests at the ceremony. It was a beautiful way to carry her best friend with her throughout the day they dreamed of together.

I was in awe of the beautiful space that Angela’s aunt, Larissa (the incredibly talented woman behind Bridal Beginnings!) put together. A mixture of fresh and preserved florals were expertly paired with touches of gold and amber. The reception was warm and elegant and absolutely stunning. It was the perfect way to finish the trifecta of Stove weddings. I couldn’t be more thankful these three sisters chose to hire me!
