The wedding below was hosted at Whispering Willow and photographed by yours truly, Yorke Photography.

Visiting this gorgeous venue feels like a beautiful mix of luxury and coming home. Shelley and Rick host with their whole hearts, and it is a joy to see how well they take care to make all the wedding dreams come true.  Hope you enjoy the pictures! ~ Chera (and Matt)

. . . and from the venue (Shelley of Whispering Willow)

When a Bride (a former gorgeous, professional figure skater named Gabrielle) and her handsome and strong Groom named Ricky happen to be friends with a professional choreographer who is willing to work with them in their Ottawa home through Skype, sparks hit the dance floor for their 1st dance which was a surprise for all guests, including their parents!

The amazing Matt and Chera of Yorke Photography were entrusted to capture their special day, and I am sitting here trying to scoop up my melted heart off my keyboard. Their photography is more than a photo, it is a fine art that stirs strong emotions within. Wait until you see their photos from THE dance! The tone in her legs. The exertion on his brow. The excitement and love in their eyes. Her cute butt. 

I called Gabrielle my Sunset girl because of her colour palette and by miracle, the rain stopped and the clouds parted and 7 admirable men attending the Wedding helped set up chairs so they could have their Ceremony outside, a little late but it was worth it and later Yorke Photography captured the most dreamy and sensual sunset photos!! 

Congratulations Gabrielle and Ricky!
