Ashley and James were married at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica on Spring Garden Rd., an absolutely beautiful old church.  They had plenty of family and friends in attendance and when they exited the church after the ceremony, they were met with a loud round of applause as they walked down the steps of the church.

We made our way to the Public Gardens after the ceremony and rounded up family and friends for photos.  After finding a few different locations around the park, we made our way to Bishop’s Landing.  Ashley and James took everyone out for dinner at Ristorante aMano rather than have the traditional catered reception.  I heard a number of people say that their meal was the best they had ever had, so I guess you should check them out if you’re looking for a new place to eat in downtown Halifax.

The reception was back at the Delta where Ashley had been getting ready earlier in the day.  The Bluenose Ballroom has a fantastic view out their panoramic windows, something I noticed a number of guests enjoying.  The kids however, enjoyed the candy bar a bit more, and when you have a wedding just before Halloween, you can be sure the candy options are going to be plentiful.

After being introduced to the reception, Ashley and James immediately went into their first dance before James danced with his mother and Ashley shared a dance with her brother.  With the party officially started, the dance floor opened up and the celebration continued until late in the night.

You’ll notice that I’ve only posted black and white photos in this post, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any colour photos of Ashley and James, just give my Facebook Page a follow to see some colour ones posted over the next week or so. You can also check out their DJ; Mike Brooks and makeup artist Naphtali Carleton .

Enjoy!!!
