I am in love with this picture. Its a little Picasso (I think I am in a cubist phase at the moment, artistically), and I love, love, love the space between. Generations. Passage. Mother/daughter.
There were so many wonderful things about Bonnie and Vince's wedding. Bonnie radiated calm throughout the day, but the evidence of her planning and attention to detail spoke out in every part of the day.They opted to do the "first look", which I think is a fabulous idea. In the whirlwind of events that is a wedding day, it allows the couple to have a few private quiet minutes together before the festivities start.
Looking radiant. Bonnie and Vince's wedding was at the First Baptist Church on 109 St, downtown. Its a beautiful space. These pictures were taken in the chapel.
Bonnie and her sweet and gorgeous nieces. We also did the family formals prior to the ceremony - another great idea. 
More beautiful details. Flowers by Zocalo. Hyacinth, hydrangea, lily-of-the-valley. And the colours - whew! Love them.
These pots of hyacinth adorned the church windows and travelled to the reception. Awesome idea.
The thing I loved most about Bonnie and Vince's wedding was the thoughtfulness that went into every detail. The wedding was held on the March equinox, and themes of renewal and birth permeated the ceremony. Their minister is a close friend, who Bonnie went to seminary school with and, each of their family members had an important role in the ceremony.

Vince is Filipino. Here - his sister and brother-in-law are binding them with a cord (bond of love and friendship). They're holding gold coins (spiritual abundance) in their hands and are draped with a veil (union and mutual surrender).
Here, Vince's father is offering a Prayer of Blessing.
Such joy and happiness.

The reception was at the Union Bank Inn. While we waited for the guests to arrive, we took a few shots.
More details.
The reception was beautiful. A mingle-style lunch, buffet and butlered. Lots of laughter and talking.

Such love in those eyes.
Thank you so much Bonnie and Vince, for including me in your wonderful wedding. It was a great pleasure.
