Check out these brilliant photographs! Photographer, Rob Lovatt from Keywest Photo was kind enough to pass along some shots that he took at a wedding we both attended this past August. If you're looking for a great photographer, Rob is a great asset.
The Planning
Over a year ago, I met with Wayne and Kathy to discuss their wedding plans at Lower Fort Garry. I found out early that these two had grand plans for their ceremony which was to be held outdoors. As a Piper, I'd be an key part of their wedding theme by playing at different key points throughout the ceremony. The cool part was that and they'd be coming in by horse drawn carriage! It was clear that Wayne and Kathy would get married in style.
The Wedding Day
On the day of the wedding we had record rainfall and intense winds, not at all what Wayne and Kathy had planned for. With most of the rain tapering off prior to the start of the ceremony, plans were changed to an indoor wedding. Luckily Lower Fort Garry's facilities include a wonderful indoor theatre where the actual ceremony took place. In the end, you can see by the photographs everything turned out just perfect. The setting of the "fort" was spectacular and really added some flair to the images
I hadn't been to the "fort" for a number of years and to be honest a lot hadn't changed, but that's a good thing. The first thing you'll see is the high limestone walls of the fort. As you walk through the gate the first thing you see is a large building with a deck surrounding it called the "Big House". There are many buildings and antiques throughout the facility making it a great place to visit to learn a little more of our heritage.
From what I see, Lower Fort Garry is the ideal location to host your special wedding day ceremony. Things can change quickly when it comes to an outdoor wedding, but luckily the "fort" was prepared to handle it properly.
Cheers,
