During what seems to be the first week of spring (and cherry blossom season), here in Victoria... Mike & Kate had a beautiful wedding surrounded the ones they love.
When I first met Kate & Mike, she pulled out this huge three ring binder, common to most brides these days, and we chatted about well, weddings. Perhaps a little overwhelmed, but excited to plan the event, I shared with her stories about how even though we can plan, plan & plan some more, every wedding day has it's own unique "ruffle" that makes it their own and something to look back and remember as a part of the great day.... Then Mike and I proceeded to chat about camera stuff {for about a good half hour}, and I knew I found a great team to work with!
I'm happy to say that the union of Team Kate & Team Mike was well worth the planning, the decision making and those few "ruffles" that concluded to such a wonderful day. Officially now known as Team Sugimoto, you will be finding them in Hawaii, being comfortable, relaxed and reflecting on what was a perfect day to call all their own!
Congrats you two!
The ceremony had both traditional & Buddhist elements
Goblin made his way to the ceremony, and was a little camera shy at first
