Landon and Rochelle's wedding in Hornby Island, British Columbia

The story of our wedding

Landon and I got engaged in 2016 on the beautiful island of Hornby Island in British Colombia overlooking the ocean on the cliff.

We knew we wanted a destination wedding but couldn't decide where. After 3 years of back and forth and constant research, we decided to have a small intimate wedding with family and close friends all the way in South America in Cartagena, Colombia.

People would ask "why Colombia? Do you have family from there?" The answer was no but we knew people who had been there before and loved it. We wanted somewhere unique, beautiful and wanted to give our guests the opportunity to travel somewhere new and make a holiday out of it as well.

The day of the wedding started off with a homemade breakfast with all of our friends and then we separated to get ready for the day in our shared Airbnb.

Colombia is HOT and we were fortunate enough to have a lovely breeze flowing all day. We got married on a section of the ancient wall that surrounds the city. It was used to protect the city against attacks against the crown or from pirates.
