Read MoreSinocan Winery is a beautiful winery located in Langley, British Columbia, Canada and was the gorgeous location for Caleb and Chelsea’s intimate and romantic November wedding.
Read MoreShelby’s Pond is located within the farmlands of Chilliwack, BC. This quaint farm property specializes in hosting country style wedding ceremonies and receptions. The gorgeous backdrop of mountains and fields is the perfect spot to say your vows during an outdoor ceremony and then with the large open red barn to host your closest 100-150 friends and loved ones for your indoor/outdoor wedding reception. The venue is known for its picturesque setting, surrounded by nature and featuring a tranquil pond. The outdoor location is ideal for those seeking a rustic and natural setting for their wedding.
I met up with Shawn and Des just before their wedding ceremony so they could spend some time together for their first look and couple portraits before heading to Shelby’s Pond for their outdoor wedding ceremony and reception with their loved ones. My absolute favourite part of the day was watching how their pups Louis and Winston were included in all parts of their wedding day, they truly were, the most well behaved pups at a wedding ever!
Including your dogs in your wedding can be a fun and memorable way to celebrate your special day. Here are some ideas on how to include your dogs in your wedding:
Ring Bearer: You can train your dog to carry the rings down the aisle in a special pouch or box. This can be a cute and unique way to include your dog in the ceremony.
Walk Down the Aisle: You can also have your dog walk down the aisle with you, perhaps with a special leash or collar that matches your wedding colors.
Wedding Attire: Dress your dog up in a cute outfit or matching wedding attire that complements your own wedding outfits. Make sure the outfit is comfortable for your dog and does not restrict their movement or breathing.
Photos: Including your dog in your wedding photos can be a fun way to capture memories of your furry friend being a part of your special day. Consider including them in the bridal party photos or taking photos with just you and your dog.
Dog-Friendly Venue: If you are having an outdoor wedding or reception, consider choosing a dog-friendly venue that allows dogs on the premises. This way, your dog can be a part of the celebration and enjoy the festivities with you.
Dog-Sitter: It's important to assign someone to be responsible for your dog during the wedding day, to make sure they are comfortable, have enough water and food, and are not a distraction during the ceremony. Consider hiring a professional dog-sitter or assigning a friend or family member to look after your furry friend.
Overall, including your dogs in your wedding can be a fun and meaningful way to celebrate your special day. With a little bit of planning and preparation, you can make sure that your furry friend feels loved and included in your wedding day just like Shawn and Des did!

Read MoreThe Chilliwack Golf Club is an amazing venue in the heart of Chilliwack, BC. It features mountain views in addition to the beautiful landscaped grounds of the golf course From the gorgeous yet simple outdoor ceremony site to the spacious Canex Pavilion that boasts not only the full coverage feel of an indoor wedding but with removable walls, it truly makes it the most unique venue of its kind in the area.
The Chilliwack Golf Club offers an all-inclusive wedding package for you and has a dedicated onsite wedding coordinator to ensure your wedding day is memorable and ensures everything runs smoothly. The staff are amazing, professional and my brides have stated that they pay attention to every detail.
One of my favourite things about this wedding venue is how it is centrally located between Chilliwack and Abbotsford. As a result, if you are wanting your wedding portraits done outside of the golf course area, there are so many nearby locations to go to.
