Jennifer & Kevin { breaking news! }

1, September 20, 2008 – 1:57 am

Ariel of the fabulously fun blogsite Offbeat Bride has posted one of my favourite images from Jennifer & Kevin’s bicycle themed wedding. The featured picture as seen below is the quintessential image of a couple romantically riding away into their new life together. If you have read Jennifer & Kevin’s post on this blog, you may remember that Jennifer is an avid fan of Offbeat Bride and some of the inspiration for her and Kevin’s big day came from the great unconventional ideas that can be found both in the book and blog.

If you haven’t yet visited Offbeat Bride and you would like to incorporate some non traditional elements into your wedding or just want to browse some real weddings from Offbeat Bride’s around the globe I definately recommend checking it out!

Jennifer & Kevin { wedding }

1, September 9, 2008 – 12:57 am
Jennifer & Kevin are absolutely, without a doubt, the quintessential bicycle loving couple! They both met at Mountain Mayhem, considered to be the worlds biggest 24 hour bike festival. The course which takes place in the UK takes a great deal of strength and endurance. To actually complete it requires even more in the way of utter determination. Who would have known on that summer day in ’06 that these two thrill seekers with wheels would find true love. Not long after Kevin took a break from the 9-5 of the office and swapped computers for ski’s. Working as a ski instructor in Canada Kevin soon became lonesome for Jennifer and when she came to visit he proposed to her during a romantic winters night in Vancouver.

Whilst planning the wedding Jennifer had taken inspiration from both Style Me Pretty and Offbeat Bride. From inspiration boards and custom details to unique wedding themes, both sites offer the bride to be with creative motivation. Armed with great resources, Jennifer knew that only one type of venue would suite. It would need to be relaxed, naturally a bit rustic, and most importantly have plenty of green space; just in case if the bikes were to make a showing that day! Wellington Barn was the top contender and thus provided the perfect backdrop for Jennifer and Kevin’s bicycle themed wedding.

Thank you Jennifer & Kevin for choosing me to photograph the special moments from your wedding day. It was wonderful being able to capture your love, laughter, and tears of joy. I hope you both loved your honeymoon cycling in Scotland and that you enjoy many more exciting and romantic journeys together.

I would also like to thank the lovely and hardworking girls at the barn for being so kind! And a huge thank you once again to Sharice for your assistance and that fabulously panned shot!
