Intimate Iceland Wedding | Leah + Jesse

This past May I traveled from Edmonton to Iceland with Nicole Ashley and her husband Jon to Iceland and got to work on the stunning intimate wedding of Leah and Jesse in Iceland. It was such a relaxed day full of laughter and we lucked out with the best rain-free weather which is a rarity in May in Iceland!

  • this is basically what my weekend consisted of since I got a new kitten named Clyde last Monday! Turns out warm weather, a new kitten and some social distant hangouts in a park is what I needed! I hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend enjoying the sun ☀️⁣⁣ Photo by @nicoleashley⁣⁣ Retouched with @nicoleashleypresets ⁣⁣⁣ Hair/makeup @behindtheblush ⁣⁣⁣ Florals/decor styling @fabloomosity ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #adventure #instagood #inspo #shotoncanon #lookslikefilm #lovers #liveauthentic #blogger #boho #work #covid #quarantine #happy #edmonton #wanderlust #goals #fashion #engaged #babe #model #life #alwaysgo #yeg #bohemian #home #behindtheblush #kitten #adoptdontshop
  • I’d say it’s pretty fitting that the last time I did hair and makeup before all of the covid craziness was for my best friend after the arrival of her baby Charlie! It was so amazing to witness her love and care for Charlie as she navigated the first 24 hours of motherhood, proving that there is no love greater than the love of a mother!! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there that support and love us to the ends of the earth 💖⁣ Photo by @thedana⁣ Hair/makeup by @behindtheblush⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #mothersday #love #baby #lookslikefilm #yeg #portrait #thebump #theeverymom #life #momlife #parenting #covid19 #socialdistancing #behindtheblush #nicoleashleypresets #chonkcharlie #hotdad #blancheandcharlie #babybliss #parenthood

  • We never would have thought 2020 would turn out the way it has been, with so many of our clients having to reschedule in the future during a safer time. We’ve been working to rebook as many clients as possible and we are so grateful for the amazing brides and clients we have as we work with them and other vendors to make their dream day still happen. Having to stop work because of the regulations has only solidified the love for what we do even more and we can’t wait for the day to be able to do hair and makeup again! Our past clients know we go above and beyond, veil wearing and all! One thing is for sure that love wins in the end even if the dates and locations change, we will work to make your dream day come true💖⁣⁣ Photo by @nicoleashley⁣⁣ Hair and makeup by @behindtheblush⁣⁣ ⁣Wedding dress by @truvellebridal from @delicabridal ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ #weddings #inspo #lookslikefilm #lovers #liveauthentic #wedding #work #covid #quarantine #edmonton #nicoleashleypresets #wanderlust #engaged #engagement #life #alwaysgo #yeg #bohemian #behindtheblush
  • the one thing I’ve learned during this time at home is that I’ll never take traveling and creating with my best friend for granted again!

  • This week has been stressful to say the least. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It started out with what became a false-positive test for Killian (Thankfully!), grandparents threatening to escape out to Walmart, and COVID-19 creeping closer to home than comfort allows for. I still find myself extremely fortunate for being able to work from home and all the positive things in my life. But I would be flat out lying if I said my nerves weren't shot right now. I am craving some a glimpse of normalcy or just some sort of it... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stay Safe! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _______________________________________________⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Taken while shooting @thekindleworkshop with @nicoleashley, @myrtleandmossphotography + @henrysdiary⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hair/makeup: @behindtheblush⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Decor/Design: @thegoodparty @designerweddingsvictoria⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Florals: @ingridrosefloralartistry⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Models: @babitaay @blacpearl_prod⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Rentals: @trenddecoreventdesign @thegoodparty @saltyoakstudios @designerweddingsvictoria ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Venue: @hcpgardens⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #thekindleworkshop #nicoledaniellestudios #inhomesessions #victoriabc #nicoleashleypresets #couples #love #boudoirphotography #bohoinspired #photography #couplessessions #ctphotographer #hcpgardens #behindtheblush #canon #portraits #models #instagood #beautiful #dirtybootsandmessyhair #travel #ig #style #beauty #photo #photooftheday #bhfyp
