Melissa and Dave
So, I’m totally overwhelmed with both weddings I had the immense pleasure to photograph this weekend.
Totally overwhelmed.
Melissa and Dave were married in Campbell River on Saturday. They were a blog favorite according to all of you, and your wonderful comments on their amazing engagement session found HERE.
They are just, so…. timeless. They look like they stepped out of a movie, minus the acting. This is all real. They are real, their images are just so… pure, romantic and sweet.
For sure, weddings are more meaningful, when all of the details… are infused with meaning. When an old car used for the wedding, isn’t just any old car. But an inheritance from a cherished loved one, passed on.
Perfect. The day, was just perfect.
Melissa and Dave, you truly have something special between you two. I am humbled, honored and deeply moved to have been such an important part of your wedding.
Melissa’s grandfather was a pharmacist and her parents home is covered with the amazing containers. Stories. Everything has a story.
This next image is another fabulous shot by Shannon, my fabulous second set of eyes.
This image makes me think of Paul Simon’s “Diamonds on the Souls of her shoes”
I just love the movement in this image, and the sky.
A few of these images, but this one in particular makes me think of the Joni Mitchell song, A Case of You.
“Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
I could drink a case of you darling
Still I’d be on my feet,
I would still be on my feet.”
I believe Melissa has one of the most beautiful faces I’ve ever photographed. Truly stunning.
Who knew Campbellton could be so beautiful
They truly are effortless together, a beautiful thing.
I’ll leave you with this image of the newlyweds driving away… and really, it may be top ten in my favorite book. This image, just screams COOL!
Thank you all for joining me along my journeys. ox

Erin … are you sure you haven’t “stolen” these images from a fabulous movie! I haven’t seen wedding photos where the groom has been so totally involved … wow …. looks like they are both oblivious to the magic around them and only see each other. A true masterpiece “my girl” xo MA

Erin…I sit down at my computer everyday hoping…just hoping you will have updated your blog. I am like a kid on Christmas Eve, the anticipation just killing me…and when your new images and blog are updated, it’s like I just got the most wonderful gift…I absolutely love gazing over your photos, no matter the subject. Your blog is filled with your passion, the passion you have for your work is all over your photos, but the words you add at times have brought tears to my eyes, have made my smile and have left me speachless…which, for those that know me, know that isn’t an easy task! You have photographed my family and myself a few times and I have loved every minute of the time you devote and every photo you have taken. I am a fan for life!!
