Claire and Will invited us to their wedding this summer and it fit perfectly into our existing plans between calgary and cortes. as we drove from vancouver up to cortes, we spent 3 days in courtenay in order to attend and help out at the wedding. we arrived the day before and hung out in our hotel room and explored the town a bit. the following day was the wedding and that morning we went on a run along the water, where every single person we encountered said good morning too us.
from there i evacuated the hotel room so the girls could get ready, and spent some time over at claire’s parents house. they have this beautiful house right on the water, overlooking the bay with comox right across from them. it is such a wonderful location, and the wedding ceremony was going to be held there! what a great venue!
Sadly it was still misting/raining all morning, and it continued on and off throughout the day. But this being the wet coast, they had taken that into account and had a tent set up for the guests. and it ended up not being so bad, and the weather was perfect for photos.

The actual wedding went off without a hitch. it was a wonderful ceremony, claire looked beautiful, and will was okay too i guess. i refrained from taking ceremony pics, but i got a few at the end.
