Mckenna & Sebastian

Mckenna and Sebastian’s wedding film begins with a commitment to care for one another with God’s guidance. That belief runs through their vows, the prayers spoken over them and the hopes their families share for the years ahead.

The speeches give those hopes a personal history. One remembers a compassionate caregiver who could not ignore a wounded bird, a tiny insect or a family member in need. Another speaks directly to Sebastian, recognising the care he has taken to balance his faith, university studies, work and family as their relationship has grown.

There is a lovely sense of belonging in the welcome Mckenna receives. Sebastian’s family describes her as a daughter they had already embraced before the wedding. Later, a thank-you acknowledges the support of everyone gathered around them as they begin this next part of their lives.

The promises return to mutual care: praying for each other, staying loving when days are hard and bringing sunshine to cloudy ones. The film of their Edmonton wedding ends with a blessing for growing up and growing old together, and for finding contentment in quiet moments. It is a hopeful picture of marriage, made personal by the people who will walk alongside them.
