Hatley Castle Wedding - Isabelle and Sebastion
Isabelle is one of those women who has no idea how beautiful she is. She is stunning, kind and very much a lady. Her and Sebastian are fantastic people with hearts of gold and are so modest. I will not be surprised when I get a call to photograph their 50th anniversary. They are meant for each other. Oh and don't forget their children, perfect examples of what every parent wants their kids to be like, kind, polite and actually nice to each other.
I had a blast photographing the family. They are Francophones, and I have to be honest my 10th grade French teacher told me to stop taking French. I tried so hard but just could not get the pronunciation, but I refused to give up and took it the next year. Well at the wedding I figured they were all trying to speak English so I gave it my best at speaking French. I'm sure my pronunciation was horrific, as everyone laughed hysterically at my attempts... but that's perfect for photos…so I think it was a success.
The ceremony took place in the Italian garden at Hatley Castle and the Reception in the drawing room. Hatley Castle really makes you feel like royalty and I think its one of the most memorable locations around. The cake was exquisite and decadent and Truffles Catering's dinner was beautiful and delicious.
Instead of tossing the bouquet they did something I have never sean before. Each of the single ladies got a ribbon, they held one end and the bride held the other. As the music played the women danced around the bride and randomly let go of ribbons until just one was standing. They where the winner of the bouquet.
All the single men got a rose and took turns dancing with the bride and giving her a rose, the last to dance with Isabelle was her husband. He had a whole bouquet.
Another unusual thing at this wedding is they sat all the kids together at one table. It was amazing to see them all take care of each other. Almost like having their own table made them all act like adults.
It was a beautiful memorable wedding. I'm so lucky to get to go to these amazing events, I have the best job ever. Thank you for hiring Orange Frog Studio Inc to photograph your wedding.
