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.

david & kristina: married
Friday, August 2nd, 2013
this wedding was a little bittersweet (for me) because it’s the third and final wedding i will get to attend and photograph for this family who is very dear to my heart. i am so honored to have been a part of so many big and beautiful moments in this family’s history and david & kristina’s day was no exception.
kristina’s mom has always wanted to see one of her children married in the darling chapel down the road from their house and with kristina, her wish came true. and since david has been enthralled by the magic of flight from a very young age, it only made sense that their reception would be held at the airport and their entrance to the party would be made in a plane flown by his grandfather.
kristina prepared almost all of the sweet little flight themed details single-handedly, from the map paper airplanes to the baggage claim seating chart to the chevron table runners. the vintage planes hanging from the ceiling of the museum were the perfect backdrop.
mans family, i love you all! thanks for inviting me into your lives.

jordan & bethany: married
Wednesday, July 10th, 2013
these guys sure know how to keep things interesting…both graduating from university a mere month before the wedding while planning a move across the country for bethany to pursue a masters degree. so it’s no wonder they wanted to keep the wedding comfortable and relaxed, which they certainly did. it was a gorgeous day, overlooking the river, surrounded by their dearests – just as they imagined.

gareth & tiffany: married
Thursday, June 20th, 2013
random person: “so how was gareth and tiff’s wedding?”
me: “sigh”
that’s kind of how the conversation started. every time. not only was i overflowing with joy to see these two come together but i was struck by the depth of commitment and emotion that was communicated throughout the day: in their preparations, their vows, their interaction with family, their thankfulness…it was so. beautiful. as goofy as gareth is (and you will see, he.is.goofy.), his love for his bride and the seriousness with which he approached this covenant was unmatched. and as physically gorgeous as tiff is (and you will see, she.is.gorgeous), the warmth of her heart and her tender spirit are even more attractive.
i loved this day. every bit of it.
this was tiff’s dad, seeing her in her wedding dress for the first time. i die.
so maybe goofy was the wrong word. i’m not quite sure how to describe the boys’ antics.
we found ourselves shooting on a bike path and decided to use the regular interruptions to our advantage.

stephen & rachel: married
Wednesday, May 29th, 2013
you know when you plan to go somewhere and then it kind of sneaks up on you and you hurriedly pack your bags, hoping you don’t forget anything while rapidly tying up any loose end you can think of and then you say goodbye to your family and hop in the car, sure you’ve missed something massive and make your way to a destination and it’s taking quite some time to get there and you think to yourself, “goodness gracious, i sure hope this is worth it”? well, it probably is.
man alive, i love these two. would do it all again 10 times over to be there for them on this day.
**for those of you wondering, this venue is not in the lower mainland. sorry!**

levi & lisa: married
Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013
levi & lisa are dear friends, so you can imagine my delight when they invited me to photograph their wedding day. levi is absolutely devoted to his girl…one of my favorite stories about his early desire to please her came in the form of a bike ride. a group of friends decided to bike to the lake: only about 30 km each way and since lisa was going, levi figured this would be the perfect time to impress her. what he didn’t realize was that these friends he was riding with were serious cyclists, like the “let’s ride from BC to Mexico for fun” kind of serious. they actually stopped by our house on the way there and i wondered who this fresh faced stranger was and which one of the many girls on this ride he might be sweet on 🙂 needless to say, this was not the easy ride he had expected…approaching the lake, you are required to ascend a serious hill which slowed him down considerably, but he thought “the way home will be fine because it’s downhill.” but sure enough, the way down was slow as well and he found the group waiting for him as he plodded along far behind. finally, he told them to go ahead and he would meet them at home…only to get a flat tire and be stuck in the middle of nowhere with no phone or gas station in sight.
as you can see, this dude is committed. which is one of the reasons i know their marriage will be great. their day was that of dreams…they met in the forest for a first look and then took communion together, laying the foundation for the rest of the day. it was full of joy, tears, remembrance and hope and i’m so glad i got to be there for it all.
lisa’s grandpa was wearing the same suit and bow tie he wore on his wedding day, 50+ years ago. and it still fits!!

andrew & brittany: married
Tuesday, May 14th, 2013
andrew & brittany’s wedding was literally a breath of fresh air. in the wedding realm, sometimes it feels like everyone is competing to see who can have the most extravagant affair. while their wedding was not short on beauty, these two were so totally focused on what was important: the commitment they were making to each other. when brittany and i first met, she explained that things would be simple…there were a few details she was excited about, but otherwise she was just happy to be getting married to the one she loved. they had been enduring a long distance relationship while he was in australia and she was so thrilled they were soon going to be in the same place together, walking the next steps of their journey as a married couple.
and finally, a polaroid scan from the winery:
congratulations, andrew & brittany!

jamison & paulina: married
Saturday, May 4th, 2013
paulina & jamison.
their story is one of serendipity; chance connections, mutual friends, shared faith and a love for cats.
jamison had gone back and forth about how he wanted to propose and had all sorts of grand schemes in mind, but once he had the ring in hand, all of those plans fell to the wayside. he literally drove from the jeweller to the grocery store to buy out their flower department. he then proceeded to turn her apartment into a floral wonderland, remembering to lock the cat away in the bathroom, but forgetting that it was probably not a good idea to leave a vacant apartment with candles lit (details, details). paulina was giving him a haircut that afternoon and as he sat in the chair, the nerves started to rise and he could barely contain his excitement. when they got home and walked through the door, the tears started to flow and she agreed to be his wife.
when they decided to get married, they knew a couple of things: they wanted a beautiful backdrop and they wanted it to be small. so with their immediate families and a handful of their closest friends in tow, they headed to ucluelet to spend a few days together…not only to get married, but to visit, surf, relax, eat good food and celebrate in a way that was comfortable and beautiful and so connected.
jamison & paulina: married from Sharalee Prang. Music by Sleeping at Last.
