Quite the Entrance...

Heather chose a rather dramatic entrance to her 08-08-08 wedding!!! The crowd cheered as they figured out that the bride was coming out of the noisy helicopter that had hovered overhead... such a blast! I couldn't have hoped for a more wonderful couple to share such a magic day with. In fact, it was the same magic day that my fella and I got an accepted offer on an amazing new home...(more to come when/if deal is solidified....)

Heather is just.... soooo....... lovely. She is a beautifully scripted open book... her heart waving around on her sleeve.... her face, hides nothing. You can see her, standing calm... and then its as if you can actually see her thoughts, as her face changes into a fabulously massive smile explosion... her eyes light up, her arms start shaking, and she is making happy little squeeks. Heather is someone you want to be around. I hadn't met Dan before, and loved that when I arrived over at April Point, for their soulful ceremony Dan stood smiling, waving me over when he caught sight of the over sized cameras. Dan is full of joy.

Everything was wonderful. After the ceremony we snuck off to create some images at Rebecca Spit, on the back side of Quadra Island. Check out the beautiful details of Heathers "Ophelia" dress. What a fabulous couple. What an incredible day.... I'm honored to have been chosen to be there with you two! May you always have all things magic.

Three gorgeously troublesome flower girls made my job VERY entertaining!!!

This was a tear jerking moment, you can see Dans mom in the background hands over her mouth.. amazed, overwhelmed.

I love the look on Heathers face.

The newlyweds!

Amazing

This may be my favorite

Susan and Dave

With a venue like April Point Resort on a day like August 1 2008... there are not many words that can describe the outcome of Susan and Dave's wedding day. Nothing makes me happier than big black skies with the sunshine making heroic efforts to burst through the heavy clouds... My favorite moments, were jumping into a boat with the newly weds, and venturing off into unchartered waters to find the perfect rock, poking out of the sea... I'm pretty sure there has never been a bride and groom standing on that very spot before, and quite honestly... that is magic. I'm not going to say anything more... I believe their images will do that for me.

Susan and Dave

Feet on rocks reflecting in waterWhen Susan and Dave pulled up for their engagement session... Susan was doing a shot of fireball.Now, thats my kind of gal. "Taking the edge off" as she so eloquently put it! This wonderful couple met by chance, by fate, and I believe on a bike trail on a vacation? (correct me Susan if I'm wrong). In any case, Susans 'girls' weekend, quickly turned into being a bit more about Dave. Everywhere Susan and Dave go... you're sure to find their awesome duo dog team... Mango and Chutney. Chutney has been with Susan for 9 amazing years!!! (He's the little black one, thats more like a human than some humans I know) Mango is just pretty, and both are wonderful additions to their photos.

These two (disgustingly happy) love birds will be married at April Point this summer, and I can barely wait to photograph this wedding!!! Going along with the way the session started, we ventured to Freddie's Pub along the water to polish off the evening with Tequila Caesars and Wings. (ROUGH LIFE) I absolutely can NOT wait to see Susan in her dress!!! Stay tuned for images from their August 1st wedding.
