A laid-back cliff-side wedding in British Columbia

There’s something so laid-back and relaxing about Emily and Vicki’s cliff-side wedding at Eagles Nest Retreat in Galiano Island, British Columbia. Maybe it’s how everyone looks so chill and goofy-happy (and they’re wearing flip-flops, popping corks, and dranking blue cocktails!). They also gave out homemade wine as wedding favors, because they know what the people want. Butterfly Photography was there to capture all their giggly goodness.

Morgan & Nicole’s dreamy mountain wedding

Yep, we said “dreamy” and we mean it! Dreaming about those mountains, that lake, that EPIC hotel, and those two sexy-as-hell brides is just about the only thing that can be done after seeing it. Sure, they may have almost sunk into the lake, and maybe they hadn’t had tons of practice with PDA, but seriously, shit be worth it.

A colorful gothically delicious wedding in Newfoundland

Are you up for an elegant industrial goth fix? Today is your day. Ashley and Paddy ooze delicious and colorful gothic energy in their ’til death do us part-themed wedding in Newfoundland. We got to see how these style mavens put it all together: think bright dreads + mohawk, black Utilikilts, combat boots, and even some little peacock feather accents, all layered on a purple and blue backdrop.
