A Rainy, Intimate Wedding at The Distillery Venue in Abbotsford, BC

When Em and Ian decided to get married they knew they wanted something truly special—something intimate, meaningful, and filled with joy. Surrounded by a small group of family and friends, their day was a perfect blend of laughter, love, and unique moments that captured the essence of their relationship. Despite the rain, nothing could dampen the excitement and beauty of their wedding day.

Em and Ian’s Sweet Ice Cream Stop at Banters Before the Wedding Ceremony

The morning of their wedding was filled with quiet excitement as they prepared for the day ahead. Before heading to The Distillery Venue, Em and Ian made a sweet detour to Banter’s Ice Cream. Surrounded by the quaint charm of this beloved local Ice Cream Shop, the couple laughed as they attempted to enjoy their ice cream together, without spilling. Despite the rain they embraced every moment together and their carefree smiles spoke volumes about the genuine connection they share.

The Distillery Venue: A Beautiful Setting for Their Vows

As the rain drummed on the roof of The Distillery Venue, they stood together before their closest family and friends. In this intimate setting, they exchanged heartfelt vows expressing promises of love and support to each other. The emotions of the day were felt by everyone, as they made their commitment to each other, their families and friends smiles as bright as the love these two share.

Rainy Wedding Portraits: Capturing Love

Even though the rain was steady on and off through out the day, we embraced the wet weather and took portraits outside. RIP Umbrellas, I lost 3 that day due to the wind! Later in the evening with the help of some off-camera flash techniques, I was able to create some dramatic images that highlighted the beauty of what we endearingly now refer to as ‘atmospheric rain’. However, the rain only added to the celebration of Em and Ian, making their portraits even more memorable.

A Night of Laughter and Dancing: Celebrating Love with Friends and Family

After their heartfelt vows, it was time to celebrate. The couple invited their guests to share in a casual yet delicious meal of appetizers, pizza and the most amazingly delicious pastries catered from The Table Bistro in Abbotsford, BC. The laughter and chatter filled the air as everyone enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere, savoring the flavors of a wedding celebration that was both meaningful and fun. The night ended with plenty of laughter, dancing, and love on the dance floor. Em and Ian and their guests embraced the joy of the evening, creating unforgettable memories of shared moments and celebrations. Their wedding party and close friends were even up to creating a Vogue style group photo which led to much laughter as they all tried to give their best vogue inspired pose! It was the perfect end to an intimate and unforgettable wedding day at The Distillery Venue.
