Real Weddings- Tanya and Mark

July 24, 2009 | editorial team

Tanya and Mark were married overlooking the beaches of Martinique outside of Halifax, Nova Scotia at a small, intimate wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends. Mark’s mother Ruth and aunt Nora took on all the planning so that the couple could relax and enjoy the day, and Belathee Photography was there to capture it all in style. They chose a simple ceremony on the grass, next to a single large tree, overlooking the ocean. Marks’ uncle made a custom wedding ring for Tanya, and she was excited to see it for the first time during the ceremony.

The day’s weather started off looking a little gray, but soon it all turned around. “We were worried at first because it was very foggy and slightly chilly out. But as soon as the ceremony was about to begin, the clouds separated and the sun beamed down on us like what you see on old record album covers. It was perfect.” For dinner everyone feasted on lobster, and guests took home mini maple-leaf shaped bottles of pure Canadian maple syrup. It was a day of happiness and relaxation!

Phenomenal Photography- Wedding Shoes

Some current wedding photos faves from our Art Director Kim…

The adoration: I recently photographed a beautiful wedding for a bride who worked for a shoe company. She had custom made wedding shoes unlike any I’d seen before; they were made with her name and wedding date printed right on the sole! Capturing them with my camera was so much fun that it got me thinking about what an important fashion role shoes play in weddings these days, and all the creative ways that great photographers document them. I love that these photos show shoes that are unique, stylish and just plain gorgeous, in the many moments and traditions that they’re part of throughout the wedding day.
