The save the dates were sent, the venue deposit paid but something wasn’t right.
Toronto couple Shawna and Daniel had planned a wedding for 150 guests at a camp in Muskoka Once they started planning the details they realized a big wedding wasn’t what they wanted so they quickly called off the plans and booked two tickets to California.
The couple decided the city they got engaged in, Palm Springs, was where they wanted to host their celebration. Within two weeks they received RSVP’s from the invited eight people, found the appropriate attire and were married. Now that’s a change in plans.
The” it was meant to be moment”. Shawna had seen Our Labour Of Love photographer Heidi Geldhauser’s work on a few blogs and loved it. She knew the chances of Heidi being available on such short notice were slim but called anyway. Well some things are just meant to be, Heidi was available and as you can see the images are stunning.
P.S. Shawna is a hairstylist and did the hair for Liz, one of our real wedding brides featured in the premiere issue of The Wedding Co. Magazine.
