mat & alyssa: engaged

Monday, September 9th, 2013

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.

film inspired vintage wedding: sam & adriana

Friday, August 24th, 2012

sam is a videographer and adriana a budding photographer, so you can only imagine the creative feast for the eyes their wedding was! the natural beauty of the rustic property decorated by adriana and her team of crafting warriors culminated in a beautifully magical backdrop for what was truly a special day.

sam & adriana’s engagement picture session was my most popular post on this blog to date, so i was a little nervous about trying to “top” that with their wedding. but there’s something about a wedding that evokes so much emotion and draws out so much pure love…looking back on these pictures, i “feel”. which is all i can hope for. i hope you see and feel the day right along with me, even if you weren’t able to be there in person.

recognize the movie poster sam is re-enacting below…?

though sam now makes movies himself, his love for the movies started at a young age where he attempted to smuggle himself along on a date night by hiding in the backseat of the car while his parents were getting ready to leave. so it only made sense that the reception would revolve around the couple’s shared love for the movies, from the “ticket stub” seating chart to the outdoor theatre complete with candy and popcorn, no detail was forgotten. there were so many personal touches as well, including hundreds of bundled love letters on each table that adriana’s grandparents had handwritten to one another dating back over 60 years. it’s amazing to see the legacy of love and faith that both families have left for their children…what an incredible example for them to build their marriage on.

harrison hot springs wedding: jason & bethany

Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

peace.

i think that’s how i would describe this day: peaceful. no mad dashes, no fiascos. just a picture of peace. we were lakeside at greenpoint park in harrison and it was beautiful. everyone was drawn to this wedding, including a couple of tracksuit clad grannies and a multitude of mosquitoes…there was something for everyone 🙂

you may remember jason and bethany from their pie themed engagement shoot. their wedding represented them well and was full of gorgeous blooms, feather details, lace and of course…more pie.

they were still as sweet and relaxed as ever and i loved getting to meet their families and spend time with their friends. you can learn so much about a person by meeting those they surround themselves with and it’s no surprise that these two have become so gracious and kind now that i’ve hung out with the people that raised them.

Bride’s dress: David’s Bridal / Headpieces and Boutineres: Carmen West Creative / Ceremony: Greenpoint Park / Reception: Harrison Memorial Hall

and special thank to my amazing assistant, sadia! she showed up to this wedding even though it was her moving day and her husband’s birthday and she worked so hard. such a lovely girl!

jordy & jocelyn: married

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

this wedding holds an extra special place in my heart, not only because the couple is amazing, but because the ceremony was held in the church i attended as a young girl. it was so neat to be back inside the sanctuary with the wooden pews and the big windows…lots of memories here. i may or may not have been surprised by my first kiss in a sunday school room closet.

i love the look on jordy’s face when he saw jocelyn for the first time. he kept saying throughout the day “how in the world did i get a bride this beautiful?” so great.

i loved having the privilege of watching you two walk into this new life together. all the best!

vintage greenhouse wedding: chad & emilie

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

ok. chad & emilie. so i may or may not have been privy to the fact that these two were going to tie the knot this summer slightly before it was official. i may or may not have received a message that said “do you have these dates free? because there might be en event we would like you to attend on one of these dates”. and i may or may not have been absolutely, ridiculously over the top giddy with anticipation knowing that i got to hang out with these two on one of the most important days of their lives.

now enough with the may or may nots. here’s what i know for certain: chad and emilie were meant for each other. so totally perfect fit kind of material here. chad is kind and and intelligent and incredibly gifted and always “stoked” about something. emilie is beautiful and sweet and joyful and even though she’s probably the purist person on earth, has a way of saying normal things in a funny voice that makes them sound kinda dirty (it’s amazing). as individuals they make me smile. as a couple, they make me beam. they both have huge hearts and love to serve. and they are so smitten with each other – it’s just written all over their faces. so you know you don’t even want to get me started on their day…i just need to stop talking and show you the goods.

chad & emilie chose to reserve the wedding party for family, but wanted to include a larger group of friends, so we had them meet us to take a few pictures before the ceremony.
