Amber and Johnny Fast (yup, cool name, huh?) are an amazing couple who are so full of life, love their friends and family, count their blessings, and just ooze with style. There's just something about them. You can't help but like them. They are edgy and stylish; they are fun and down to earth. Did I mention stunning? It's not hard to make this couple look good. It was hard though to narrow down some of my favorites to include in this blog.
I have to admit that I was super stressed before this wedding. Not because the bride was a bridezilla (complete opposite actually!), but because she happens to be a cousin of mine and doing family weddings can be stressful only because you want to make sure that you nail it. Thanks for being so easy going and up for anything! It was a super fun day.
A big shout out goes to Lauren Winter for offering up one of her secret locations that complimented all the colors perfectly. Lauren was in the bridal party and is a very inspiring photographer out of Saskatoon. Check out her amazing work here.
The decor was splendid... a mix of class and rock n roll. Johnny is a musician with Under the Stairs which lent nicely to some of the rock n roll party favors and ideas. No standard guest book here; guests signed the old school records. No boring party favors; guested were treated with personalized guitar picks with images of the couple. No lack of pizazz; peacock feathers and damask popped up everywhere. And did I mention their love for kids? There were lots of kids in attendance and they were entertained by a balloon making artist during dinner and awesome grab bags full of treasures. (I get a bad mom award here.... I made my kids sit and eat their dinner before going to get balloons. Little did I know that the balloon man had to make another appearance at a different wedding and we showed up just as he was leaving. Thanks to the mom (didn't get your name!) who saved the day and convinced her little girl to share one of her balloon creations).
During the first dance, Mr. Johnny Fast added a personalized touch and maybe taught Avenged Sevenfold a thing or two....
What a great wedding! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of all the behind the scenes action. I loved being a part of it.
PS. I just noticed that Under the Stairs in playing TONIGHT at Buds on Broadway. Go check them out!!!
Ooh! This is an interesting photoshoot. I am taking ideas from such posts because I am going to capture my best friend’s wedding. She is low on budget but I am going to make her wedding one of the best ones. I have picked up a beautiful event venue Atlanta for the day. It was good coming across this post.
