Snowflakes and Sweethearts

From the Creative Team:

It was love at first email. When sweethearts Amy and Keenan reached out to share their plans for an intimate wedding centred on their faith, I knew their day would be as unique and beautiful as snowflakes on a winter morning. Their vision for a celebration filled with love, worship, and meaningful connections was not only inspiring but also a perfect example for couples seeking to infuse their special day with faith and heartfelt purpose.

The day began at McKernan Baptist Church, a beautiful venue that provided a warm and welcoming atmosphere for their heartfelt ceremony. From the quiet moment when Amy’s mother buttoned her dress to the joy and anticipation surrounding their first look and private vows, every detail of the morning felt intentional and deeply personal.

Planning a Meaningful and Personal Ceremony

Amy and Keenan’s ceremony was a beautiful reflection of their faith and priorities. Their vows went beyond promises—they were a declaration of their commitment to each other and their shared journey with Christ. Incorporating elements like worship songs and communion into the service brought their community together in a profound and spiritual way. For couples looking to include their faith in their wedding, these moments can be deeply meaningful, creating a shared experience of worship and celebration.

When Amy and Keenan said “I do,” the room erupted in applause and joyful cheers. It was a moment of pure happiness, and as they walked hand-in-hand down the aisle, their beaming smiles spoke volumes about the joy in their hearts.

A Warm Reception

The reception was held at the Edmonton Country Club, a venue that offers an elegant space with breathtaking views.

Amy and Keenan’s choice to include personal touches, like stories from loved ones and a warm atmosphere of faith and gratitude, made the evening unforgettable. Their focus on creating a meaningful day rather than adhering to trends is a great reminder for couples to prioritize what truly matters to them.
