It was a hot day at the beginning of July when Ashley and Ken got married, with their ceremony at The Manitoba Club and the reception next door at the Fort Garry Hotel (with a crazy thunderstorm in the evening!). They chose the Provencher Room at the hotel, which is one of my favourite rooms in the city - it is elegant, romantic, and classic all at the same time. I had a lot of fun with Ashley's inspiration - bold and colourful!

The couple live in Toronto, so it was a lot of emails and picture inspiration until I finally got to meet Ashley about 1 month before the wedding. We changed the plan up a few times, and I just love how Ashley's ideas evolved over the course of their engagement. She really wanted everyone to have a great time and to create a memorable night, and with the help of Amanda Douglas Events, they did just that! Special thanks to Samba Joy Photos.
