If you follow our blog, you’ll have just enjoyed Joanna and Dave’s E-Session. I’m so happy now to finally be able to share their wedding day photos. It was such a fun day and their little girl was so precious.

Thank you for letting me be a part of such an important day. Congratulations to you and your growing family.

Be sure to read some wise words from Joanna below!

How did he propose? 

Dave proposed on Valentine’s Day on top of the STORY BRIDGE in Brisbane whislt I was 14 weeks pregnant. We were featured in the 7 oclock news as a Valentines Special. Ever since I moved to Australia we knew we never wanted to be apart.

How did Whistler become your number one choice of where to tie the knot?

We first met in Whistler and really liked the area. We also needed an excuse to get his family and friends over to experience Whistler and the Canadian snow/ mountains. What better way to get them over! We also wanted a wedding that was different than a beach wedding everyone does here in Australia.

What was your criteria when looking for your dress and how did you know once you found it?

I had a budget. I wanted something nice but simple because I was planning on wearing a cape. I didn’t really know that I wanted that particular dress- but loved it once all the pieces were together.

What was the number one piece of advice given to you while planning your wedding and what would you pass on to newly engaged brides to help them in the coming months?

Keep the guest list small, you don’t want to spend your day talking to everyone and feeling pressured that you need to make the rounds. A larger guest list doesn’t mean you will have a better time. It’s the quickest day in your life so make sure there is plenty of time for everything and time to reflect, relax and enjoy every moment. Time is key…
