anne + marcus (part dois)

as promised, anne and marcus have shared photos of their beautiful september wedding celebration in the canadian rockies. (merriment posted a preview in july, see post).

back in july, anne and i had fun bouncing ideas off of one another about the ambiance of the day she envisioned: honoring their heritage and their love of santa barbara, making the event kid friendly and keeping the overall decor true to the surroundings, simple and rustic. many of these details were incorporated, but above all...the quality time they spent with their family and friends stands out and will forever be in their hearts.

the two wed on anne's father's christina lake property, intimately surrounded by family and friends from brazil, the us and canada. every bit of this celebration was a collaborative effort by those dear to the couple. not only the location of the ceremony, but anne's family friend grew succulents and ferns in preparation for the decor, anne's godmother played the harp, her godfather officiated and friends catered the rehearsal dinner. according to one of marcus' family members "over three days of celebrating, not a single waiter was to be found." anne and marcus found the whole experience to be relaxing (commendable for a destination planned wedding). congratulations to mr. & mrs. chevitarese! photos above by: Allison Watt
