Katie and Brandon

Quadra Island at its bestBright, wise, and full of life. Was my initial reaction upon meeting Katie and her family on Saturday at their wonderful (built and designed by dads hands) home on Quadra Island. From the moment I stepped onto their property, I understood what made them all so unique. They are inspired, passionate and adventurous. A marvelous combination. From the unique wedding dress, to the art work that covers their house, to the giant happy fun family photos on the walls or the authentically Mexican themed bathroom ... I knew, their Quadra Island wedding would be amazing.

Katie, was radiant. Relaxed. Excited. Brandon, was cool. Collected. Calm. Together, these two make wedding photography the most incredibly rewarding experience. Again, real moments= real magic.

Katie and Brandon...I told you on Saturday, but will let you know again... you both are pure magic.

Below Katie's sisters contemplate her makeup... it got hilarious, when they realized they could quickly turn into the 'evil sister's role... sisters Sorry, but makeup alone, doesn't make you this pretty.

Dave and Sarah

dave and sarah outside of the travellers hotel in ladysmithDave contacted me over a year ago from his home in Australia. He and Sarah had met while Sarah was traveling in Australia, and they were getting married here on Vancouver Island. They had traveled far, worked hard, and were ready to enjoy their day! My favorite moment may have been when Sarah pulled out Ruby Red Shoes, and said.... what do you think??? WHAT DO I THINK??? Let's do it!!! So we did. The gals got ready @ Fernwood B&B just outside of Ladysmith. Tucked away in a little cabin in the woods, it felt like I was in a blend of the Wizard of Oz with the Ruby Reds, and Goldilocks with the perfect little cabin in the woods. Jan of Fernwood was great, and I even had an up close and personal with one of her resident raccoons (with one eye). Quite the experience.

Sarah and Dave were so wonderful to work with, putting complete faith in me, succumbing to all of my wild request.... 'don't worry, just lay down on these rocks'...

Such a fabulous day. Such a great couple! Let me know if you have any favorites!!! the dressSarah gets ready @ Fernwood B&Bone eyed raccoonroses and locks
