Tory and Jessica tied the knot recently at the awesome venue that is the NQ Elite Rodeo grounds up at Harvey’s Range! Such a lovely young couple and it was a such a fun day with lots of laughs and giggles!! Started at the grounds where Tory and his groomsmen were getting ready and such an awesome area for photos. How cute does Tory’s fur baby Dozer look in his little pink tie standing next to his dad!! Back to Jessica’s parents house where the ladies were finishing off hair and makeup! Jessica is a hairdresser and so are her 2 sisters who in were in the bridal party also and it was a nice touch seeing them do each others hair for the big day. We created a first look for Jessica’s dad and as you can see in the photos he was totally taken away with how gorgeous his daughter looked!! Bit of fun with the family before heading back to the Rodeo grounds to capture their ceremony in front of the awesome barn doors. We let the newlyweds mingle with their guests for a few drinks and to taste the awesome food platters before getting some great shots around the venue then heading to the lookout to make the most of the awesome view that was just minutes away! The reception was inside the barn and I just love the relaxed feeling this venue offers and with the wood fires scattered around to help with the late night cool that was creeping in, it was a comfortable and relaxed night! LOVED the Mimosa Bar where guests had ingredients laid out for everyone to make their own awesome bevvy!!! The cake looked amazing and the sparkly cupcakes that were made by Jessica’s mum were a hit!! As you can see in the photos there was a little mishap when cutting the cake. The knife handle broke while trying to cut the cake the reaction was priceless!! I was shooting the first dance and moving around the couple when I had an idea to shoot from outside the barn with the awesome barndoors pulled closed just enough to frame the gorgeous couple! I think it turned out pretty sweet!! The father daughter dance was perfect and the love Jessica’s Dad has for her was evident and made me think of the day when I’m up doing the same dance with our daughters on their special day!! (That will be a LONG time yet LOL) Just before I left the dance floor was kicking off with nearly everyone getting up to some great tunes supplied by Travis the DJ and I just had to stick around and capture the fun and heel kicking! Great day, great night and an amazing couple! Honoured to have been a part of your special day Tory and Jessica!

Congrats Mr & Mrs Pendrey!!
