Dan & Darina’s wedding
It was a COLD day in June when Dan & Darina got married. Crazy Canadian weather! Totally unpredictable!
Dan & Darina have a great story … they’ve been together for 13 years, engaged for seven years, and have three beautiful and wonderful children together – Jesse, Liam and Morgan. They are an awesome family!! So fun to hang out with, such a chill vibe about them all. Morgy is my favorite … if I didn’t have a three year old girl of my own, I would say Morgan is the cutest three year old girl ever!
Here are my favorites from their June 6 wedding Lloydminster.

Buzzy was pretty happy when I threw her toy for her! I loved this shot, with Buzzy and then the kids on the trampoline in the background. The wedding was a true family affair.

The maid of honor, Christine Hopaluk, is a fellow photographer. She acted as my unofficial second shooter for the day and got some great shots!
Instead of writing a speech to her new husband, Darina had me create a slideshow of photos from their 13 years together. It was a surprise for Dan, and everyone seemed to love it!

These are wonderful!! And I have to agree, Christine is beautiful!! Congrats to the Bride and Groom!!!
