A Hot Summer Wedding That Felt Like Home
Noele and Jeremy’s wedding in Chilliwack was full of heart, laughter, and the kind of warmth that sticks with you long after the day ends. It was one of those July days where everything feels golden. I had the honor of documenting it from the first moment to the last dance.
Getting Ready in Abbotsford
We started the morning at a hotel where both sides got ready. Jeremy and the guys had the kind of energy you wish you could bottle. So many inside jokes and laughs. Since Jeremy and I go way back as coworkers and friends, this one meant a lot. On Noele’s side, the vibe was sweet and grounded. You could feel the love between her and her bridesmaids.
A First Look Worth Remembering
Their first look took place at Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. Calm water, open sky, and just enough privacy. Noele walked up behind Jeremy and hugged him tight. Her eyes said everything. That moment was full of feeling and stillness. It’s why I do what I do.
Wedding at Yarrow Community Centre
They chose the Yarrow Community Centre for their ceremony and reception. It felt laid back and personal. They even set up the whole space themselves the day before. Baby blue accents tied it all together and matched Jeremy’s tux perfectly.
The Ceremony in the Shade
They held the ceremony outside under the trees. On a hot summer day, that shade made all the difference. The whole thing felt relaxed and just right.
Reception Energy That Didn’t Quit
Speeches that made people cry. Dances that brought the room to life. Noele and Jeremy brought the energy and joy that made everyone feel part of something special. Their love is loud in the best way.
