I met with Chantal the day before her wedding for the first time since she and her fiancé lived out west. They came home to get married in Saint John, NB to be surrounded by family and friends. This is becoming more common here in New Brunswick since there are currently so many opportunities out west. With those with a family or friend working or living in western Canada I think they could relate to the emotion of coming home to the one’s you love the most. I felt that throughout the day I spent with Chris, Chantal, their 2 kids and their extended family.
The most intriguing and unexpected treat for me on this beautiful September day was how playful and natural both Chris and Chantal were. Chris is the definition of a man’s man. He loves working on cars and loves hockey. However, he and Chantal showed how truly in love they were all day long like I wasn’t even there. Their two kids Carly and Cade made for many cute moments throughout the day as well. The day before the wedding Chantal mentioned their wedding was about the 4 of them as a family and she didn’t want the entire film to be just about Chris & Chantal. She wanted the kids to be a part of it just as much as them. This could have certainly been a major challenge, but both Carly and Cade were amazing all day long. I got to hang out with an amazing young family for a day and capture some beautiful moments. Here is both the trailer and their main feature below…
