To The Horners


The love is real, and you two really brought it!


Tyler, you had everyone in smiles from the get go! Working with a happy, laughing bride truly makes my job easy. I loved the time with you, popping bubbly and helping you redo your dress. You were the vision of a bride who was excited for her day.

Guiliette, I hope to be half as cool as you one day! The picture of chill, smoking a cig as I arrived huffing and puffing to your chalet. You were so ready to get into your mom’s dress and marry your person, and it was just wonderful to be a part of it.

I have no notes for Eight Bells on their view; it was simply awe-inspiring. You guys have great taste, hey?

Your ceremony was beautiful: short and sweet with a wise message of unconditional love. It will live rent-free in my head for a while.

Spending time with the two of you was like hanging out with old friends, despite the fact that you guys had pulled off this wedding in only a few short months! It was so great to see you unwind slowly and become more yourselves as time went on and the feeling of “we’ve arrived” sunk in. Taking off shoes and picking roses: it was a fairytale.

Thank you for putting up with me saying “just one more” five times. Even though you half threatened to tell me to f**k off at one point, I will take that threat any day to get these photos again!

Your venue and guests were absolutely charming. There were so many smiles to capture, I couldn’t possibly get to everyone. Your tables were stunning, and your cake was a masterpiece. Again, you only had 3 months to plan?? Not sure I believe it.

But my favourite part, and there were so so many, was seeing two people be themselves so unapologetically and fearlessly. Only one word springs to mind to describe you two: unshakable. I can’t wait to see you again, where I can hopefully sit down with you and share a glass of wine and a good laugh.


I wish you both every bit of happiness and prosperity.


XOXO
