Andrea + Derrick: Married August 5, 2017 - A BackyarD Asian - Canadian Wedding Planned over 3 Provinces

Andrea + Derrick are proof that you can successfully pull off planning a wedding from afar, in 3 provinces actually! 

They booked me from Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories and then continued to plan their backyard wedding in Winchester, Ontario from Calgary, Alberta.  Couples - don't let geography stop you:  With a little patience, trust and technology, anything is possible.  We forged a connection over email, phone and Skype so that working together on wedding day - the first time we actually met in person - was seamless. 

You can tell from their photos that Andrea + Derrick were excited but relaxed - even calmly dealing with unexpected downpours that made for dramatic skies in their photography and humorous memories.   They rolled along with laughter and happiness.  In fact, Andrea's only concern was her origami cranes that she had painstakingly made for her Asian - Canadian ceremony - but they held up to the weather well,  a fitting and lasting tribute to her family and cultural traditions.

Congratulations, Andrea + Derrick.  It was my honour to have your trust as we stepped through the planning of your wedding day!  xox
