Today I would like to share with you the lovely Michelle and Jesse’s wedding. You may remember them from their fall engagement session here. They both went to the same high school, but never really talked to each other except for Michelle asking to borrow one of Jesse’s pencils in biology class in grade 8 haha. It wasn’t until after graduation that the two started seeing each other and began to fall in love and imagine their lives together.
Jesse proposed to Michelle on her birthday by spelling out the words ‘Will you marry me?” in tea lights on the beach after having had a nice dinner at the Keg and walk around the place where Jesse first asked Michelle to be his girlfriend. “It was the best birthday present!!” Michelle said.
They are a super cute couple and their wedding at Minter Gardens was just beautiful. Pink and grey were their main colours, with a sweet and stylish theme. Michelle said; “I really wanted the beauty of the garden to be the focus of the décor so I kept things simple with pink.” Sadly, Minter Gardens actually shut down in October 2013 after 33 years of being in business. Brian Minter created such a stunning garden (one of BC’s most famous) and I hope these photos will not only show the love of Michelle and Jesse on their wedding day, but also the beauty of Minter Gardens. Enjoy!

“From this moment on” by Shania Twain was Michelle’s walk-down-the-aisle song. I love the smiles on not only Jesse’s face, but all the groomsmen too! So sweet.
“One of our favorite moments was when we got to read each other our personal vows. It was so heartfelt and it meant so much for us to tell the other how much we really loved each other.” – Michelle
