vancouver wedding photographer | matt & sam: married

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2014

while july 12th, 2014 was their wedding day, their story spans more than a decade. it all started when they were teenagers, both attending the same boarding school. they were friends and spent a fair bit of time together, but it didn’t progress much further than that. years passed, relationships came and went, maturity occurred and their paths crossed again at their ten year reunion. it was only then that sam realized all these years she had been comparing other guys to matt – none of them had all of the things she was looking for but him. i loved hearing their perspective, knowing that if they had tried to commit earlier on, it might not have worked. it took those years of growing up for them both to recognize what they needed and wanted and who it was that would fill that void. here’s to another few decades…together this time around.

fraser river lodge wedding: dennis & kelsea

Thursday, November 15th, 2012

i first met dennis & kelsea at kevin & megan’s wedding back in march. kevin and dennis are both kielstra boys and are the first two out of three to be married in a mere 13 months.

kelsea and dennis are a sweet couple…very private and not much for pda. it was fun to hear the story of how they were set up and how their relationship quietly evolved leading up to their engagement and wedding day.

kelsea executed her classically elegant vision for the day flawlessly. you wouldn’t be able to tell from her ruffly dress and the delicate details that she’s a farm girl through and through, but when she insisted we visit a torn down shed in the pouring rain with the bridal party for pictures, it became clear that she was one tough chick.
