February 9, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Having been to Theros Wave Bar for a friend’s wedding, Jaimie-May and Terry knew they wanted to hold their own celebration at the elegant island venue. Jaimie-May wore a sophisticated strapless Vera Wang gown, which perfectly complemented the stark white buildings around Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral. Italian Wedding Photographer Jules Bower captured Jaimie-May and Terry’s utter bliss on their wedding day, from their first look to a few solo moments as husband and wife in the Santorini sunset.

The Couple:

Jaimie-May and Terry

The Wedding:

Theros Wave Bar, Santorini, Greece

Our wedding fashion was classic and chic. I fell in love with a custom Vera Wang lace gown. It was important in the heat that it was light weight and we are looking forward to using the lace from my dress to create a family heirloom Christening gown. The bridesmaids wore beautiful Grecian-esque pearl-coloured Zimmerman gowns

Based on the location It would have been easy for us to opt for the bohemian wedding, however it was important to us both to include Terry’s greek heritage and include the greek orthodox ceremony. There used to be more churches than houses on Santorini, it was important for us to honour this. Jaimie ended up getting christened in Sydney leading up to the wedding.

We chose Santorini in memory of our first holiday together visiting Terry’s family who own Hotels on the Island. We were invited to a wedding of a family friend, where we fell in love with the beach club – Theros Wave Bar. Even for any of guests who had previously visited Santorini it was a venue they had never been to before. Terry and I wanted a venue away from the main town with our own private beach, open bar and somewhere we could party until 5am. Terry’s been to over 100 weddings and made it clear that he wanted the best food, music and minimal formalities.

Earthy Tunnel Mountain Reservoir Wedding

February 8, 2016 | Junebug Weddings

Earthy-Tunnel-Mountain-Reservoir-Wedding-Heart-and-Sparrow-Photography-29

The view from the Tunnel Mountain Reservoir is positively breathtaking, but what really has us captivated is the connection between Michael and Philip on their wedding day. The two shared personal, emotional vows in a simple ceremony where they felt like time had stopped just for them. Heart & Sparrow Photography captured both the epic Banff views and Michael and Philip’s larger-than-life love that made this wedding one for the books.

The Couple:

Michael and Philip

The Wedding:

Tunnel Mountain Reservoir, Banff, Alberta

We decided on no wedding colours. Instead, we went with a earthy and wood based theme. Since our wedding was to be simple, we wanted to make the theme simple. We had family and friends help make little extras for details. Mike did the invitations which were very personalized to us and included many pictures/images that tell our story.

Our ceremony spot was incredible: the view, beauty, and feel. We had been searching many locations and were getting tired. It was the last on our list and as soon as we saw the location, we knew that was it. It felt right.

The day was such a whirlwind but it was full of memories. Each part of the day provided different and unique feelings that helped enhance the memories. During the ceremony, the most memorable part was being in front of each other, holding hands, and looking into each others eyes while listening to the officiant. It didn’t matter that family was there or that we were in the middle of the mountains. Those items seemed to disappear and seemed so insignificant compared to that moment. It was also the second time that Mike has seen Phil break down in tears.
