chilliwack riverside wedding | mason & danielle: married
Monday, September 14th, 2015
i think if you check out the sign these guys made for their ceremony, it will give you a good idea of what their community looks like. lots of people from lots of places, all descending on mason’s riverside family home to celebrate their marriage. it was quite the party.

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.

joanne & theo: married!!!
Monday, September 19th, 2011
first of all, i just have to say what an honor it was to even be considered, let alone invited to photograph theo and joanne on their wedding day.
reason #1: they are dear friends of ours.
reason #2: they are both artists (joanne is actually an amazing photographer and has taken tons of beautiful pictures of my family).
reason #3 (and probably the most important): they are hot. super hot. they were already hot on their own, but together, the hotness quotient went up significantly. and there’s something about a betrothed couple that makes them even hotter to the rest of the world, so let’s just say that the hotness ante was through the roof.
all that to say, i was kind of blown away when they wanted me. and the extra bonus was that i actually got to enjoy the ceremony and reception…they had another photographer come for that!! so i got what i consider one of the most fun parts of the day: the bride getting ready and the pictures of the couple.
speaking of hot, check out this super hot mama: joanne’s best friend karla. she is an incredible musician (she wrote a song for joanne and theo’s ceremony) and has a beautifully generous heart. love his woman.
and so, i left joanne waiting in the gazebo and went to meet her groom.
these pictures of theo are some of my favorites of a groom. he was so relaxed…we chatted about his morning while he fixed his cufflinks. and there didn’t seem to be any nerves. which is rare. and i think a really good sign that he knew this was right. that SHE was right. and i love that.
it was so gorgeous outside, but we snuck in the back door of hemingway’s book store for a little change of pace and a little respite from the heat (i’ll let you guess which section we landed in :).
and like that they were off. to be wed! theo & joanne: i wish you so much more than happiness. at the risk of sounding like whitney houston, i wish you joy. and love. and life. FULL life. thank you again.

jon & latisha: married
Wednesday, June 29th, 2011
i knew from this couple’s engagement session that they were in love. yes, they’re young and yes, they’ve got a lot of change coming in the year ahead, but i really admire their readiness to commit to one another. for life. i think there are a lot of people out there who could learn from these two!
their ceremony was simple and beautiful, involving their family and closest friends. it was an emotional tribute to where they’ve been and where they hope to go. and there were so many sweet details (including personalized m&ms) to top off what was a very. lovely. day.
and possibly my favorite shot of the day…

the wolfs: part one
Sunday, April 3rd, 2011
well, here’s the moment at least a few of you have been waiting for. what a journey this has been! from engagement pictures at niagara-on-the-lake, to the bachelorette party in fort langley, to the rehearsal, to the reception set-up to…the wedding day. i love this couple.
the morning kicked off with a tea amber hosted for her bridesmaids. it was so relaxed and fun and such an excellent way to start the festivities. amber presented the girls with handmade jewelry using some of the crystals from her dress and crocheted shawls, courtesy of grandma.
oh. and the food. was. amazing.
and like that we were off to retrieve her groom.
after some last minute marital advice from his big bro, he was prepared to meet his bride. but not before i dragged it out a little. as if he wasn’t nervous enough already, i just couldn’t help but add to the anticipation…
and just as i made him wait…i’m going to do the same to you! stay tuned for their first look at eachother – it’s priceless.
