steven & kathryn: engaged

Friday, March 28th, 2014

“more city, less vintage country” is how they describe themselves, so it’s only fitting they will be wed in vancouver next month in a modern building with a garden backdrop. the irony comes in the fact they don’t really live anywhere near a city and have chosen to set up their home in a fairly rural lakeside community. it seemed only right, then, that we take some time to document their life in the country during their engagement session, if only to give their friends and family a glimpse of the place they call home (and to show they may just have a little country in their bones after all).

brody & amanda: engaged

Tuesday, March 4th, 2014

brody was cautious, which i really respect. while he admired her intelligence and was drawn to her beautiful smile, she was inspired by his strong character. they took their time getting to know each other before committing seriously (which at the time was kind of annoying for amanda as she sure felt ready ;).

now here they are on the brink of being married and there’s no mistaking…it’s love. the roads were slightly treacherous coming down and we found ourselves stuck behind someone who had no clue how to drive in snow (it would have been comical if it wasn’t so terribly dangerous), so we ended up on a detour right past this rock face. thank you, bad driver and lady who insisted on trying to push the passenger’s side of the truck to try and get it off the shoulder (like i said, comical). so looking forward to their wedding at the ubc boathouse this summer!

robert & bridgid: engaged

Monday, January 6th, 2014

i adore these two. we met briefly at a wedding last summer, but the first time we sat down together to chat about their own wedding, i knew we would be a great match (and i say we because it’s super important that you feel a connection with your photographer! sermon over). i’m greatly anticipating their summer wedding, just so i get a chance to hang out with them again.

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.

dan & jade: sweet love

Tuesday, October 9th, 2012

one year.

if we’re talking about eternity, then one year is just a drop in the bucket. but if we’re measuring events of importance in our daily lives, right here, right now, one year is certainly a milestone to be celebrated. a year of life, a year of commitment, a year of challenge, a year of firsts, a year of love…that’s the good stuff right there. congratulations on a year, dan & jade. was tickled to be able to celebrate with you.

lakeside wedding: derek & melissa

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

i don’t know if i’ve ever been to a wedding that had SO many elements which reflected the character of the bride and groom and was so truly unique to them. from the peruvian embroidery to highlight derek’s childhood to the traditional german bee sting cake from melissa’s heritage, they did their best to incorporate things that were meaningful to them and reflected their history as individuals and as a couple.

they both love the outdoors, so it was a no-brainer that the wedding would be outside and a member of derek’s family so generously opened their property for us to enjoy. it felt like the sound of music up there…gotta remember to wear my twirly blue dress next time (i may or may not have busted out a little “hills are alive” for old times sake). melissa arrived at the ceremony escorted by her dad in a row boat and she and derek planted a tree together to signify the roots they were establishing and the new life they were creating together. and while melissa’s brother made lattes and we munched on prosciutto wrapped asparagus, people told stories, sang songs, wept, laughed and danced while the sun went down.

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.
