In July we were oh-so-lucky to have the opportunity to go on a little Jack and Ruby road trip. We packed our lunch box, stuffed the car with all our gear, and off we went. Gimli may only be an hour outside of Winnipeg, but it was a new landscape for Jack and Ruby and we were so excited!!!
We’ve loved Joel and Deanna since the moment we met them. They are warm, welcoming, friendly, laid back, and FUN! We truly had an absolute blast during their engagement session and had looked forward to their “destination” wedding ever since. What we loved in particular was their love for each other. Joel is such a gentleman around Deanna, and you can’t help but notice how Deanna glows when she’s around him. We love love like that!
We arrived in Gimli ready for our day at the lake. We hung out with Joel and Deanna and their respective wedding parties pre-portraits, and enjoyed the relaxed morning. When everyone was ready to go Becky and I stole the couple away for a little private moment. We were so thrilled that they had chosen to do a “first look”, as that’s always a lovely way to start the portrait session and a wonderful way to make that moment special. After a tour around the Harbor and a little walk down the quaint streets of Gimli, we met up with the wedding party on the beach and carried on with the portraits. Their wedding party was light hearted just like them, and so easy to spend the day with!
Ceremony time quickly arrived, and we proudly watched as Deanna walked down the sandy aisle, arm linked in her mothers, to meet her man and make him her husband. He waited there so patiently, with a confident smile, as his bride joined him in front of their closest friends and family to say “I do”.
Joel and Deanna, thanks so very much for being who you are. You rolled with the punches on your wedding day and that is such a testament to how you will deal with marriage and life. We are so excited for the two of you and the beginning of your journey!!!!
