Chanelle & Donavon
The roar of Shannon Falls is silent, the water frozen as still as Donavon, his breath visible in the crisp winter air, eagerly awaiting the moment he catches the first glimpse of Chanelle. To the side, we tried to keep the cameras dry, as heavy snow kept falling. It was all worthwhile when the beaming bride emerged from the forest path, and her face lit up as soon as her husband came into view. Despite the chilling weather, C&D’s Sea to Sky Gondola wedding was on!
We spring into action as Chanelle walked forward and Donavon broke the silence with a single breathless “wow”. And with that, their stunning winter Sea to Sky Gondola wedding in Squamish just got started. Sure, the ceremony had to move indoors for guests’ comfort, and the howling winds would eventually force an early end to the reception, meaning our video team had to work furiously to complete the Same Day Edit in record time, but the cozy warmth of Chanelle and Donavon’s love radiates through every frame we capture. The contrast between the ethereal winter landscape and their joyous smiles encapsulates the essence of this love story.
As their wedding photographer, we are dedicated to capturing the genuine emotions, the family reactions, and the tender moments that define each wedding. All of these were in ample supply in the short few hours we had on top of the mountain. From the stunning panoramic views to the small, intimate moments such as the warm embrace by the frozen waterfall, we will make sure the photographs tells the story of Chanelle and Donavon’s winter wedding atop Squamish’s Sea to Sky Gondola, a day that will be remembered by everyone there.
