Dows lake wedding at Lago

Joanna and Andrew share the kind of love that has grown strong over the past ten years. Having so many people to love in their lives and a strong foundation has made this day a day to be remembered.

It was a beautiful cloudy, sometimes rainy, wedding day at Dows lake. We walked along the arboretum and the ornamental gardens for bride and groom photos. I mean, if your favourite flower is peony and your name is Joanna then you have peonies in your wedding photos.

Everything about their wedding day was intimate, sincere and loving. From Joanna’s first look with her father, to all the thoughtful gifts she had for everyone extra special in her life. This dows lake wedding was a tear shedder all day long.

Emotional hugs and gifts exchanged with the bride and her parents.

The sheer joy in both of their eyes.

Forever starts now.

The colour scheme for the bridal party was dusty blue which fits perfectly for this fairy tale vibe. Also, doesn’t Joanna look like Carrie Underwood? I can’t stop seeing it.
