Saturday, June 5th 2010 Photographed by Chelsea Gray (Rigaud, Qc)
I’ve attempted a few times to describe the June 5th nuptials of Jenny+Jared, but I just couldn’t put into words how crazy their day was…First of all, West Island rugby girls ROCK. I’ve learned this because last year’s Julia+Eric wedding was hands down, the most fun event I had ever photographed and they are mutual pals with these ladies, so I was ready to be dazzled! After a sunny ceremony held outdoors at the very scenic Auberge des Gallant in Rigaud, Quebec, guests sauntered over to the tented cocktail hour for a drink. Nearly 5 minutes into the cocktail, the sky grew dark and we were treated to a very surreal thunderstorm and rain shower… The Auberge was ready for anything, and used generators to keep the power going, as the energetic guests danced and goofed around for the entire evening with games and sing alongs…These people really knew how to party!
What struck me most though, was the overall energy of the entire wedding… The best men acted as the MC’s and they were flawless while the bridesmaids were equally as crafty, and had produced a full faux E-Hollywood story slideshow about the bride. What can I say, this wedding had all the elements of a perfect wedding: Christie Brinkley hottie bride? (check!), Fresh-faced outdoorsman groom? (check!) Wicked-awesome bridal party? (check!) Crazy-outgoing guests to party with? (check!)
