An Intimate North Shore Wedding
Anja is from BC. Ben is from Montana. They met in China and live in California. With an international guest list, they wanted their wedding to happen in a place that would be memorable for everyone. The North Shore of Kootenay Lake was the perfect spot, with sweeping views of the lake and mountains on bare foot beach, and only a short drive from the nearest town. Stokes Poges Manor is an Old English inspired guest house ten minutes north of Nelson, British Columbia. With a large beach front, shaded lawn and a sprawling deck overlooking the lake, it fit every aspect of what Anja and Ben wanted their wedding to be. Beyond the intimate and relaxed feel of having everything in one place, what made this day particularly special was the presider. Ben’s grandma led the ceremony, delighting guests with a heartfelt story about life long love.
With family and friends close throughout the day, and honest words from a wise loved one, this intimate wedding set a beautiful tone for Anja and Ben’s life together.
Thanks to Anja & Ben for sharing their beautiful wedding photos with us!
