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
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of meeting up with Donna and her two beautiful daughters. This was the first time that I have had that thrill of creating images in a long time. Shooting outdoors is challenging for so many reasons, but when the gals suggested a spot along Campbell Rivers shoreline, close to their heart… I was sold. Being somewhere that I don’t normally shoot forced me to get creative, and allowed me to be incredibly inspired by these gorgeous gals, the beautiful day and their special location choice. Here are a few of my favorites!
I love having space. Having time. Having silent moments to regroup. To create.
