Mikayla and Chris – Wedding Photography – Oak Bay, BC
October 24th, 2009I finally got a chance to put together a full post about Mikayla and Chris’s wedding from October 10th. These guys really know how to have a fun, low-key wedding. They got married in a backyard in Oak Bay, which was lovely on a lucky sunny October afternoon. After the ceremony, instead of walking back down the “aisle”, they immediately broke out the champagne and everyone drank and chatted in the afternoon sun.






We headed down to Queen’s Park after for some photos of the newly married couple. It was so easy to shoot the formals with these two. They were full of smiles and love and willing to get a little silly. It helps that they’re truly adorable together. Phil took the beautiful shot on the left below, despite the challenging super bright sun.






The reception was at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and was mellow and untraditional. They had appys instead of dinner, and yummy looking cupcakes from Oh La La Cupcakes (which made me wish I could have dairy and gluten). Phil captured the three great detail shots below.








Their first dance was to “I Wanna Grow Old With You” from The Wedding Singer, which was just too cute.




Phil, always the master of dancing photos, took the two below.

Thanks to Phil for being a stellar second shooter, as usual. Thanks again to Mikayla and Chris for letting us be a part of their day.
