Last night I was at Fort Edmonton Park for Colinne and Shane’s Halloween themed wedding. Colinne had a beautiful dress and awesome white leather chucks. I, of course, was totally in love with her ring – how could I possibly resist a black diamond?? The flowers were beautiful and she was carrying a horseshoe with Blackwatch Tartan (Shane’s family was actually a part of the Blackwatch) and she was pinned with an antique rabbit’s foor that has been in her family fors years to act as her something old.

The ceremony was in the foyer at the Hotel Selkirk and the hotel was spookily adorned for the day. The guests were in full Halloween costume and their vows were from the Corpse Bride! I wanted to use the Corpse Bride vows for me own wedding, but it never worked out, so I am still a little bit jealous!

We wandered about the grounds for the family and formal shots before coming back to the hotel to set up the photobooth for the evening and to enjoy the reception. The centrepieces on each table were different while each incorporated a pumpkin, and the wine, it was Vampire (merlot, of course!). There was a ghost walk later in the evening and a costume contest too! There were lots of fabulous costumes, and you will get to see them all once the photobooth images are done, but in the meantime, enjoy…! I did get a little experimental with the antique finishing for some of the photos, but it just seems to work so well…
