On a warm evening in July, it was such a treat to document Linda and Jerry’s silver anniversary.  The day was a celebration of family and friends and it was perfectly evident that these two are very loved.  The day began with a vow renewal at the site of their original wedding ceremony, St. Stephen Ukrainian Catholic Church.

Then it was off to The Fairmont Palliser for great food and fun.  It’s always a pleasure to photograph celebrations in the Alberta Ballroom at The Fairmont Palliser.  With hand-painted murals and hues of blue and gold, it’s a warm and elegant location for a wedding.

Linda and Jerry celebrated their Ukrainian heritage by inviting the Suzirya Ukrainian Dance Theatre to wow their guests.  What a treat to photograph these dancers…it really was a highlight for me!

In return, their guests were equally entertaining.  This group performed a rousing rendition of “The Demchuk Bunch”.

Thank you Linda and Jerry, for including me in this joyous event.  Congratulations on 25 successful years together.  Here’s the sneak peek from this anniversary celebration, if you’d like to see.
