A self-described animal lover, McCabe said she has done many wedding photoshoots that involved animals, such as horses, dogs, chickens and Highland cattle. But for the first time this summer, she has done two shoots involving an alpaca and a llama.
Just last weekend, McCabe shot the wedding of a couple from Indiana near East Sooke Regional Park. The bride, also an animal lover, had looked for an Airbnb with alpacas for the occasion.
B次元官网网址淗is name is Eleven (and yes, he was born prior to Stranger Things),B次元官网网址� McCabe posted on Instagram, in reference to the alpaca. B次元官网网址淲hen he was born, they said he was a eleven on the cuteness scale. He definitely has my heart as do these beautiful newlyweds.B次元官网网址�
Prior to the alpaca wedding, McCabe said she also shot a real couple from Vancouver Island as part of a styled wedding in May that involved the closely-related llama.
A styled wedding, she explained, functions similar to how a runway show functions for the fashion industry. Typically, several vendors get together to channel their inspiration into a staged shoot.

The styled wedding in May was fiesta-themed and used a miniature llama named Poco from Millstream Miniature Llamas.

As with any other animal, McCabe said she prioritized the safety and comfort of the alpaca and llama over the shoots. She said she scheduled the shoots at the homes of the animals, made sure she had a handler on site and B次元官网网址減layed by the animalB次元官网网址檚 rules.B次元官网网址� She will also cut a shoot short if the animal starts to get stressed, she added.
