Any time I get an email about a wedding at Hatley Castle in Victoria my heart skips a beat. It is just so stunning. The grounds offer so much luscious variety and beauty. There is literally no bad angles for photos. It is one of my favourite Vancouver Island Wedding Venues. I am also particularly fond of small, intimate weddings (anywhere) but really lovely here as well. Alicia and Jesses Hatley wedding was all sorts of beautiful and I feel incredibly lucky to be the one to capture this incredibly picturesque piece of their love story.
I hope this takes you away momentarily to another beautiful Vancouver Island wedding celebration.
Venue: Hatley Castle
Their story begins sweetly. Innocently. Patiently.
Timing. Years after their first meeting, everything was perfect. A phone call that she was hesitant/nervous to have, has never ended. "There were never any awkward silences, we just always have something to talk about." He flew in to see her every chance he got and on August 27 2011 at Hatley Castle in Victoria, BC... their story became even more spectacular. Saying their vows in front of an enchanted castle over looking the sea, they looked about as picturesque as possible. Incredible families, amazing hearts and most importantly swarmed with love.
The sweet summer air, the haunting beauty of a castle in Victoria and the hard work of many to create such a memorable event.
May your lives be full of sweet blessings, always.
She stepped out of the limo and literally took my breath away. Surrounded by her warm and loving bridesmaids, she just glowed. Her beautiful mom walking towards us, with tears of love gleaming in her eyes. Sole still seemingly unsure of herself and insisting she wasn't photogenic. Me... beyond thrilled to be a part of the magic.
