Amanda + Ami – Sleeping Dog Farm Wedding

Amanda and Ami’s wedding was held on June 12th at the Sleeping Dog Farm and Retreat. They’re both yoga instructors (among many numerous talents), which helped with the laid-back mood of the day. Their son Elijah, was a trooper in the heat, and looked pretty sweet in his baby Chucks and red bow-tie. Before walking down the aisle, Amanda led her bridesmaids through some deep breathing exercises (followed by a bit of screaming to pump them up), and after consulting a YouTube video in order to tie his bow-tie (thanks Lucky Levinson!), Ami was chilled-out and playing with Elijah before saying his vows. Gypsy Marching Band, Bucan-Bucan, paraded down the aisle as the bridal party danced behind them and a tea party in the garden sanctuary followed. Amanda and Ami, you were so wonderfully natural and genuine to work with…best wishes and congratulations!

Ryan, these pictures are beautiful and such a perfect representation of that amazing day. The first time I saw the slidewshow with pictures I cried..and it wasn’t even my wedding, I was just a bridesmaid! You also captured wonderfully the personalities and beauty of Amanda, Ami and Elijah. It was such a treat to have you there. Thank you for doing such a fantastic job, as if there were any doubt!

Amanda – Fernwood Winter Portrait Session | ryan macdonald PHOTOGRAPHY blog

2011/02/21

[...] Amanda was one of my 2010 brides. She’s working on getting a jumpstart on her MA application with a program through UVic called the TD Indigenous Student Career Transitions Project. She’s asked (as part of one the program components) to job shadow me, and since she’s a great gal, I naturally said yes! For the next 10 weeks we’ll be in job shadow mode, with lots of fun things planned. We met up on Saturday afternoon in Fernwood for a few hours of shooting each other and chatting about ideas. [...]
