Wednesday, August 28th, 2013
this wedding is just another example of why i loooove getting to cover the whole day. it was so relaxed and the images of the girls getting ready in the morning are some of my favorites of the day.
so many things about this day stand out to me, between the beautiful backdrop, the “desperate to see them kiss” karaoke-ing guests, the fruit bread (don’t even get me started), the grandmas full of kisses and last minute advice, the dog ring bearers and the twins….oh, the twins. the threat of rain didn’t scare these two away from having their wedding outside and the sun came out just in time to usher us into the evening. it was pretty perfect.
the amazing vendors…venue: old orchard hall / caterer: tommy’s (some of the best wedding food. ever.) / bride’s dress: frocks / groom’s clothing: moore’s at park & tilford (bride says their service was amazing) / bow ties: divine domestication / flowers: heather’s flower shop / girls’ hair: missy from burke & hair / cake & cupcakes: when pigs fly pastries / make-up: brittany pifer / table centre prints & frames: ikea / marriage commissioner: tanyse billas

mika & rebecca: married
Tuesday, August 20th, 2013
as i was going through this wedding trying to choose what to post, i couldn’t help but be drawn back to this moment. again and again. the day was full of meaning and beautiful details (all of which were meticulously documented – not to worry rebecca :)), but there was something about this that was so sacred and simple. the beauty of this couple, lead by their minister, sharing communion and personal vows under a lone willow tree was captivating. because in the end, THIS is where the heart of their day lies…in their commitment to one another.

craig & laura: married
Thursday, August 15th, 2013
i loved this wedding. i knew i was going to. was it the gorgeous weather? the perfect details? the super fun bridal party? the most genuine and sweet bride? the handsome groom who knows how to make his lady laugh? or the fact that i shot the entire ceremony (i repeat entire. ceremony.) with the back of my dress half unzipped?
all of the above.
special thanks to harvest store and cafe for letting us pop in! do yourself a favour…go eat a cinnamon bun there. you won’t regret it.

david & kristina: married
Friday, August 2nd, 2013
this wedding was a little bittersweet (for me) because it’s the third and final wedding i will get to attend and photograph for this family who is very dear to my heart. i am so honored to have been a part of so many big and beautiful moments in this family’s history and david & kristina’s day was no exception.
kristina’s mom has always wanted to see one of her children married in the darling chapel down the road from their house and with kristina, her wish came true. and since david has been enthralled by the magic of flight from a very young age, it only made sense that their reception would be held at the airport and their entrance to the party would be made in a plane flown by his grandfather.
kristina prepared almost all of the sweet little flight themed details single-handedly, from the map paper airplanes to the baggage claim seating chart to the chevron table runners. the vintage planes hanging from the ceiling of the museum were the perfect backdrop.
mans family, i love you all! thanks for inviting me into your lives.

jordan & bethany: married
Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
these guys sure know how to keep things interesting…both graduating from university a mere month before the wedding while planning a move across the country for bethany to pursue a masters degree. so it’s no wonder they wanted to keep the wedding comfortable and relaxed, which they certainly did. it was a gorgeous day, overlooking the river, surrounded by their dearests – just as they imagined.

gareth & tiffany: married
Thursday, June 20th, 2013
random person: “so how was gareth and tiff’s wedding?”
me: “sigh”
that’s kind of how the conversation started. every time. not only was i overflowing with joy to see these two come together but i was struck by the depth of commitment and emotion that was communicated throughout the day: in their preparations, their vows, their interaction with family, their thankfulness…it was so. beautiful. as goofy as gareth is (and you will see, he.is.goofy.), his love for his bride and the seriousness with which he approached this covenant was unmatched. and as physically gorgeous as tiff is (and you will see, she.is.gorgeous), the warmth of her heart and her tender spirit are even more attractive.
i loved this day. every bit of it.
this was tiff’s dad, seeing her in her wedding dress for the first time. i die.
so maybe goofy was the wrong word. i’m not quite sure how to describe the boys’ antics.
we found ourselves shooting on a bike path and decided to use the regular interruptions to our advantage.

regan & kara: married
Wednesday, June 12th, 2013
the story goes something like this: dan and regan are good friends. dan, regan and dan’s sister kara decide to go to the cabin for the weekend. dan worries that kara and regan won’t get along and it will be awkward. kara and regan get along surprisingly well. so well that it eases all of dan’s fears and they have a great weekend together. which is where it ends, right? kind of. until dan sees a overly friendly text on kara’s phone weeks later…from regan. dan puts two and two together, realizing they have been seeing each other since, without him. dan has to step outside for a deep breath. or two. dan realizes that if kara and regan get together, it will actually be a good thing because then they will get to hang out even more. dan blesses relationship (because that’s what matters ;)…and so begins the happily ever after.
the one below on the far left is dan. he looks happy, right?
bay 4 will never be the same 🙂 all the best, regan & kara!
venue: westcoast gardens / bride’s dress: ellebay bridal / guy’s clothes: h&m / ties: vknit / dessert: dairy queen dilly bars!! / bride’s jewelry: sweetpiece jewelry / flowers: bride’s brother, josh / caterer: family friends, the vanderhoeks / a bazillion crafts made by kara and her crafting brigade

stephen & rachel: married
Wednesday, May 29th, 2013
you know when you plan to go somewhere and then it kind of sneaks up on you and you hurriedly pack your bags, hoping you don’t forget anything while rapidly tying up any loose end you can think of and then you say goodbye to your family and hop in the car, sure you’ve missed something massive and make your way to a destination and it’s taking quite some time to get there and you think to yourself, “goodness gracious, i sure hope this is worth it”? well, it probably is.
man alive, i love these two. would do it all again 10 times over to be there for them on this day.
**for those of you wondering, this venue is not in the lower mainland. sorry!**
