Break a leg. A phrase often said as a means to wish another luck has never rang more true at Kira and Ira's Tofino wedding. The couple first met three years ago on a romantic dinner at Nados Chicken. It was on that faithful day that a Facebook friendship started and following a healthy courtship that spanned various locations throughout western Canada that Kira and Ira became a couple.
Fast forward to late July, 2014; one month out from the wedding. In a freak accident, Ira had broken his leg in three places and was surely going to be on crutches for at least the next 6 weeks.
As the excitement leading up to the wedding built, we were once again hit with another hurdle. Rain was in the forecast. On the day before we departed for Tofino, the weather wasn't looking good. It seemed that rain was imminent but it didn’t matter to me. I was on a mission to take the best wedding photos I have ever taken no matter what the circumstances.
On the first night we were in Tofino, I remember waking up at around 1AM to the sound of pouring rain. The last thing I remember thinking about before falling asleep was sun. Think sun, sun happens.
We woke up to sun. Glorious sun. Not cloud. Sun. Break a leg right? Luck was on our side. Nothing could go wrong as we were greeted to the most amazing day of events, and photography.
I had never photographed or attended a wedding as unique as Kira and Ira's. We started with the first look which was at Crystal cove. After giving the couple some time to themselves, we worked our way around the area for some portraits, taking advantage of our time together before we met with all of the guests.
