I think I’ve started writing about Andrea + Kolton about three times now, continually deleting & starting over, because there’s just SO much to say about these two….and it has to be perfect. So here goes my 4th attempt….
I knew Andrea was my girl from the very first second that I walked into that coffee shop saw her sporting her adorable signature black rimmed Ray Ban glasses, wearing the cutest Cons to boot. We had previously been emailing each other back & forth for weeks….she was emailing me all the way from jolly old England, where she was studying film abroad, as the love of her life Kolton waited patiently….very patiently for her return. The build-up to actually meeting her in the flesh had me full of excitement, then to finally meet her & her beau, and to spend close to almost 2 hours chatting, well I knew….it was just the beginning.
Andrea & Kolton are two of the sweetest people in the world, and what I admire most about them is just how down to earth, real and how ” themselves” they are. They are each uniquely different, but together make the cutest couple who seemingly live in sweet harmony together, with complete adoration for one another.
Let me not bypass the fact of just how FUN, FUNNY, & QUIRKY they are, and how much I LOVE that they’re always game for anything!
The almost 2 years leading up to their big day has been a complete delight, I waited with such anticipation for their wedding day to finally come, and I have to say that it was bittersweet. I couldn’t wait to see all of their years of cool personalized details come together, and to just hang out with these two and see them so happy to finally be each other’s Mr. & Mrs. Every little last detail was full of THEM, the whole day resonated Andrea & Kolton!
They were married in a sweet & intimate Ceremony at Mackenzie, that was full of some really cool personalized details. I’ve never seen a Bride this giddy with excitement, she was beaming from ear to ear, and after a while my cheeks began to hurt from watching these two from behind my lens, I myself grinning from ear to ear.
Andrea once told me “I just want to stand in a forest in my wedding dress”. Well we made it happen of course, and had so much doing it!
Walking into their Reception at the Ciociaro Club for the very first time literally had their jaws both dropping….no really…check out the pics below when you see their first reactions to how amazing everything looked! To quote Andrea “it’s my dream a garden party meets Harry Potter”. And it was amazing!
Now for the bittersweet part….their wedding day like most came and went SO incredibly fast! All the years leading up to this day suddenly seemed so long ago, as happy as I am and was for these two lovebirds, I had a moment of sadness too, knowing that our coffee dates chatting about awesome wedding day details were now over. This just means that we’ll now have to meet regularly to chat about our mutual love for the music of Interpol….LOL.
Andrea + Kolton I adore you both, and I am so excited to share just a smidge of a few favourites from your amazing wedding day! Your cake topper was right….”Best Day Ever”.

Andrea - Oh, Eryn…where do I even start?? Firstly, thanks for making me cry about 3 different times during this blog. :) We love you and yes, Interpol-discussing coffee dates shall prevail! You did a BEAUTIFUL job. Beyond beautiful. You perfectly captured our sheer joy and excitement of the day, not to mention all of the little details that were so important to us.
