Ivy & Ryan from Patty Boge on Vimeo.

Ivy & Ryan booked me 2 years ago!  Yes, they love me... and I them!  I feel like we've known each other for so long... we're almost like family.

Ivy is the cutest cuddliest groom and Ivy is the sweetest (and really really gorgeous) philipino Marilyn Monroe type bride!

 They met in grade 9, where they spent recesses and lunches together, went for walks, had the same friends, became part of each other's family and eventually got engaged and married.  Can you believe it?  Grade 9?  And they've been best friends and completely in love ever since!

I was very much looking forward to this day!  To top it off, Mike Tinholt, of Tinholt Photography  came out to shoot second with me.  Mike is very talented and easy to get along with!  We had a great time together and it took me forever to edit the images down!  Thanks Mike, I look forward to shooting with you again!

Here's some images, more on the story later.

 Ryan and Ivy got married in my favorite Cathedral in Winnipeg - The St Mary's Cathedral.  Isn't it gorgeous? The doves were fun, but a tiny bit scary!

When I met with Ivy and Ryan to finalize the details of the wedding, they told me that they envisioned the photography of their day to be done at an abandoned barn, in the middle of a big field! Yay!  I love that kind of stuff, so I asked them which barn and they replied: Dunno, could you find us one?

Could I?

Sure!  And I did!

 I took this shot (left), while Mike took the other one (right).  Isn't that cool?

The barn!

LOVE the veil!

 Ryan & Ivy used to have lunches (in grade 9!) at this DQ.  

So, this ring shot is only fitting:

I love Ivy's bouquet toss!

Line dancing!

And the final dance shot:

Thank you Ryan & Ivy for making me part of your day and your life... All the best to you as you continue this journey together!
