TYLER + DOROTHY


this couple picked the perfect day to have a wedding... 


i was a tiny bit afraid it was going to be like winnipeg always is, all hot and sunny and sweaty with hoards of disease infected mosquitos swarming around like they're going out of business. but no, it was literally 100% perfect. slight breeze to blow the wind through the bride's hair? check. not a single ray of sunshine all day? double-check. super awesome wedding party that made the day as baller as it was? mega-check! 


it's always more fun doing weddings for friends but these guys bring fun to a whole new level. what's that? did we take photos in and around goats? yes we did! 

it was so relaxed and chill... the entire day took place at pineridge hollow, a teahouse/boutique located just outside winnipeg. its odd, it is sorta hidden among the trees in the middle of nowhere. youre driving along dusty dirt roads through gravel pits and then all of a sudden its like "AW HAAAIII, i'm pineridge hollow! aren't i awesome"? 


... side story that has nothing to do with tyler & dorothy: growing up my best friend was a server at pineridge hollow and would often choose work over cool fun stuff with me because she's all responsible and sensible an all that noise, so i've always had a mini hate-on for the place. which is completely un-fair, i know. its like hating anybody named janet because its the name of the girl in your grade 3 class who used to spit in her hands and rub them together then make you smell them. scarred for life. 


ok, sorry. serious and professional. 


i do have to admit though, the place is beautiful and makes for a super gorgeous wedding venue. they've put a lot of work into it over the years and its now surrounded by waterfalls and ponds and gardens and gazebos with this whimsical country feeling to it. you expect to see little cartoon forest animals popping out from behind the trees singing pretty forest music. 


and omg. the food is SO good! the skor torte is literally a burst of magic miracles on your palate... my mouth is watering just remembering it. in fact, i would have been ok with just being paid in skor torte. and true story: the actual wedding cake was made by her friend kendra who is 13 and dropped out of school at the age of 8 to focus on her cake making skills. 


the bridesmaids are her beautiful sisters, emily and karleen, and tyler's had his bro, ian and his friend josh stand up for him. and they had the cutest flower girls and ring bearer... i had a hard time focusing my attention that day, not gonna lie.
