oh man, if there’s one thing i know, it’s that i will be doing a whole lot of laughing at this adorable couple’s august wedding. christy has the brightest smile and marc can’t sit still, so they make for a pretty fun combo. thanks for literally traipsing through fields with me, you guys…and keep working on your model poses for me, marc. can’t wait to see what you cook up for the wedding.

some of the important life lessons i learned during my time with ryan & brittin: 1. cookie butter. eat it. 2. don’t insult ryan’s taste in women’s style or else the session will end abruptly and awkwardly. 3. where to buy the most effective and powerful green, NOT red, laser pointer you have ever laid eyes upon. 4. all people worth knowing have the fresh prince theme song memorized. i think that’s about it…i basically feel set for life now.
at brittin’s suggestion, i met them at ryan’s house and the property where they will be married next year. they made pancakes (as ryan hadn’t yet eaten his first or second breakfast) and chatted about life and marriage before heading out into the crisp fall air to explore the farm.

the conversation went something like this:
“we decided to save our first kiss until our engagement”
“wow! that’s a big deal”
“well…we only dated for 7 weeks, so we didn’t have to wait that long”
um…say wha??? how awesome is this! while his pastor would like to take credit for setting them up, mat had been working behind the scenes to make sure their paths crossed after he heard about how great (and cute) this girl was. and obviously his work paid off as the time between when they met and will say their vows comes in under 6 months. theirs is a whirlwind love story which i am so excited to document.

the first time i met jaime and jon was at their engagement session and i don’t know if i’ve ever encountered such enthusiasm at a first meeting…especially from the future groom! they are clearly so excited to be taking this step toward marriage, their joy is positively contagious. i’m definitely looking forward to their summer wedding!

so here we are again with mark and beth. weather/schedules prevented us from doing a full shoot the first time around, but we were stressed that the giant peach was going to deflate, so we crammed in a quick session with him, even though it was raining. oh ye of little faith! peachy survived a whole other week and from what i’m told, is still hovering until this day.
let me just tell you that these people are amazing. i started to get to know beth a couple years ago and my life has been blessed by her ever since. you know those super awesome drawings my website is littered with? you know that person who took my dream brand and made it a reality? the one who pretty much crawled into my brain, dragged out my ideas and put them on paper more beautifully than i could have imagined? oh yeah. that’s her. plus she’s so fun to hang out with and my kids love her. if you ever come over to my house, you’ll know why simon refers to her as “beff. elephant”.
and mark…talk about one of the sweetest most genuine guys. ever. i was suspicious of him at first, when beth told me about this mysterious fellow who lived across the country who would just fly in and out on a whim to see her. what if he has a whole other family in another city that you don’t know about? and why does he just disappear every time i think i’m going to meet him? ok, so he works for westjet. and he doesn’t have a whole other family. and he ended up moving to abbotsford and i got to know him and he’s actually really nice.
i’m glad you found one another. you two are so. so. good together. i am over the moon, as your friend AND your photographer, to walk this walk with you.

i love their story. joanne relayed it to me when we first met and it involves a “hidden” one on one friendship and a series of funny (maybe not so funny at the time) mis-communications. jo left him hanging and poor dillon assumed he was getting rejected. thankfully, they were able to get it sorted and the rest is history!
august is going to be a good month…i get to shoot this wedding as well as joanne’s sister’s. they’re getting married a week apart!

this couple has a piece of my heart. i don’t even know what to say about them without getting all mushy. so i’ll refrain…at least until their wedding post.
lucky for you, this is only part one! and if mr. balloon knocked your socks off, just wait until you see what’s in store for part two…

so i’m starting to realize i’m a gusher. i never thought i was someone who would go on and on about a cute baby or much of anything for that matter, but here i am. a gusher. hanging out with these two confirmed it. thankfully, i had my lovely friend gemma along assisting me, so every five minutes i could turn around and whisper “do you believe how cute this is?” or “oh my word. could this get any better?”. so i guess i’m just going to have to embrace it. and i have a feeling i might convert you into one after you see these pictures. go ahead. gush away.
josh happens to be a musician (if you haven’t clued into that yet) and has some beautiful music available here. i may have been lucky enough to have him play at my birthday party this year, so i also know from experience that he sounds great live. go here to book a show or see where he’s playing.
one last note: this is my assistant gemma. she is pretty. and a lifesaver. and a good light testing subject.
