Crown Isle Resort Wedding

I love this family. I loved her the very first moment she stepped into my studio in 2008 pregnant with her first babe. She looked around the studio at photos on the walls, and the first words out of her mouth were "I love. every. single. thing you do." I instantly fell in love with her. Since then, I've been able to photograph Graysen as a newborn, and Linsey pregnant with their second babe Sofia, then more family photos and engagement photos and now, I get to share their wedding photos. I'm behind in all of my posts. Being that I'm pregnant... I hope you'll forgive me. But, I have so much to share, and I best start here. With one of my favorite little families to grace the planet. I have been so lucky to photograph so many beautiful moments in their lives. Blessed. Happy. Grateful. Linsey and Chase, your family is beautiful, your kids are spirited, wild and glorious. I'm so glad our paths have crossed. May you have the most amazing Christmas just bursting with love and most importantly magic. oxxo

Andrea and Dale

Another fabulous couple. A relaxed, casual backyard wedding, in the Comox Valley was the perfect way to celebrate Andrea and Dale. Have a peek at a few of my favorites. Andrea and Dale love to golf. Seriously LOVE golf. So, check out Andrea's stunning footwear for their wedding day. Creating this image, I had to choke back tears, as the pale blue ring was Andrea's sisters who passed away last year. Keeping with the love of golf, we naturally ventured to Crown Isle Golf Course in Comox. I'll leave you with one of my favorites from the reception, what do girls do best together? Laugh.

Natalie and Leon

Sunday June 29 was such a beautiful day. For so many reasons. The sun was shining, I had a great breakfast (one in fact that I didn't spill my coffee) along with a beautiful country drive down to Courtenay to meet the lovely Natalie on her wedding day. Getting ready at the Old House Hotel in Courtenay, along with her girls... everything was very serene, elegant and beautiful.

As soon as I saw Natalie, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed with excitement at the images I knew were possible. Leon was so relaxed (or so he said) and was patiently awaiting his bride at the Filberg Grounds in Courtenay as well. It was a small but wonderful bunch, and I could not stop myself from photographing everyone! There was beauty everywhere... from the gorgeous children, to the proud parents, and musical friends... there were bits of magic floating all around. I loved sneaking a few images of Natalie unaware before her walk down the isle. The whole day was full of joy, laughter and many moments that I had the pleasure of capturing. The reception was held @ Tomato Tomato which, again, is somewhere you shouldn't miss out on!

Beautiful Venues, Beautiful People.... Beautiful Wedding... Photographers Dream. Thank you Natalie and Leon for allowing me into your lives, on such an incredible day.

Let me know which image is your favorite!!!
