Sunday, June 15th, 2014
you may remember them from their snowy engagement (which was amazing, if i may say so myself), but i remember them from their warmth, their kindness and their absolute devotion to each other. this day was such a celebration…of the lives they’ve lived and of where they are headed. it was a beautiful tribute to their faith and to how they’ve chosen to honor God in all they say and do. what an incredible gift to stand with them, laugh with them, shed a few tears with them and wish them all the best as they become one. so much love for you two.

A huge shout out to all of the amazing vendors. Everyone came together so beautifully…special props go to the super sweet valet at the Fairmont Vancouver Airport who helped me find parking and made sure I knew where I was going. So impressed with their service!

abbotsford wedding photographer | corey & ashley: married
Wednesday, June 11th, 2014
ashley & corey. as evidenced in the following pictures, this day was SO FULL of joy. one of the many things i love about this couple is that they were incredibly organized in advance…minute to minute schedules, labeled thank you envelopes, detailed lists…but when it came to the actual day and there happened to be a few glitches, there was no hysteria, no freak outs no bridezilla. ashley was cool as a cucumber. even when the ceremony started an hour late, you could not wipe the smile off that girl’s face. that’s how it’s done, friends! when it’s all said and done, no sense worrying about the things you can’t control.

whonnock lake wedding | james & caitlyn: married
Sunday, May 25th, 2014
james & caitlyn. caitlyn & james. high school sweethearts, public servants (literally) and two of the most gracious, generous, loving people you will ever meet. right from the get go i knew they were my kind of people…mostly that just means they know how to laugh and they sometimes laugh at my jokes. which is really all it takes to win me over (in case you wondering). since then, they’ve taken me up to their secret riverside hideout in the mountains for their engagement and invited me into their new home on the day they got their keys. so basically we’re best friends. i’ve grown to love you two (it didn’t take much) and now that i’ve met your families, i love them too (that took a little more convincing. kidding!!). here’s a slideshow to help y’all who were there relive some of the special moments and for those of you who weren’t, it gives a glimpse into the love that was shared.
**keep your eyes peeled for: the hands down best reaction of the bridesmaids seeing the bride ready, the many face of james (the hair face, the deep inhale/exhale of “something big just happened, etc), the aerial moves of the best man, tears…so many beautiful loving tears.

vancouver wedding photographer | woong hee & suvin: married
Wednesday, May 21st, 2014
this day was so full of surprises. there were a couple rather unfortunate ones (non stop rain, all the roads shut down because there happened to be a marathon happening right outside the venue), but what really stood out to me were the sweet ones…the groomsmen’s surprise serenade, the guests spontaneously bursting into applause as the bride came down the aisle, the emotional speech given by the father of the groom ending in “i love you, i love you, i love you”…those are the things that made this wedding beautifully unique. not to mention all of the fun and personal details the bride created to reflect their personalities. i’m so delighted i got to be a part of this day.

vancouver wedding photographer | steven & kathryn: married
Monday, April 28th, 2014
a boxer and a russian walk into a mexican bar…
it turns out he was no boxer and she was no russian. yet even though they met under slightly “false pretences”, the scene was set for quite the lasting relationship, taking them from canada to dubai and back again and bringing them finally to this beautiful day…a glamorous affair for such a dedicated couple.

burnaby wedding | nick & cherri-anne: married
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014
there was a sweet conversation that took place as cherri-anne was getting ready the morning of her wedding. i told her i was entering her contact into my phone with her new last name and all the girls had a giggle over how weird it was that she was now going to have a husband. a second later, though, they all agreed that it wasn’t weird at all. they have always been “nick & cherri”. it had been so long since anyone had said one name without the other. first love, high school sweethearts…they fit right from the start. so it only made sense that they make it official…and after seeing cherri anne at so many weddings on the other side of the coin (she’s a talented hair stylist and owns her own salon), it was fun for me to capture her being pampered for once. it was her turn!
cherri-anne has such a sweet relationship with her dad. i learned that she is one of two girls born to their family in five generations, so she is a treasured woman. its’ nice knowing that the kielstras will take good care of her…after doing three of their son’s weddings, they’ve welcomed me like family and i love them to pieces.

dustin & jean: married
Friday, April 4th, 2014
10 years ago, they were hanging out as friends (and only friends) at a local coffee shop. 5 1/2 years ago, they were watching an episode of dexter and dustin stunned jean by asking her out. last sunday, they stood in front of the four of us and exchanged rings.
can we talk about the way dustin looks at his bride for a second? oh my word. so sweet.
