Black Rock Resort Wedding

Adeline and Francis were married on the hauntingly majestic West Coast of Vancouver Island, at Black Rock Resort in Ucluelet BC.  It's a bit of a mission to get there, a long winding narrow road (not for the faint of hearts) however... if you can do it.... your wedding is sure to be full of incredible memories for all.  Adeline and Francis are two of the most passionate, loving and wonderfully in love people I've ever met.  Every moment was completely infused with an elegant beauty... it was literally dripping with love.  A traditional tea ceremony, followed by a non traditional first look on the beach then emotional ceremony overlooking the sea.  Truly a dream to be a part of.

Sean and Julie

I have been the worst blogger ever lately. I realize it. I have reasons. I swear. I'm almost ready to announce why... But until I have the perfect image to go with the post.... I'll hold off for a few more days. (Whats a few more days) For those of you that have been checking in and seeing the same images, my apologies! I'll do better.

Sean and Julie just ooze sweetness. He was a little nervous, but looked put together. Handsome. She was lovely. Calm, smiling and hugging all of her nieces and nephews. Taking it all in. Their ceremony was lovely, full of personal touches and "them". My favourite part of the entire wedding may have been the story. Their story, being told to all of their guests. Best. Part. Beautiful. So personal, so sweet.

Tigh-na-mara has been on my list of favourite Vancouver Island wedding destinations, and once again Suzanne and Tigh-na-mara was amazing, and don't even get me started on how much I loved the flowers by the ever awesome Petal and Kettle in Parksville. Total dream team. If you want your wedding to be relaxed and beautiful... you may be in luck with Tigh-na-mara.

Hope your Monday is full of beautiful, and if it's not... I betcha you just need to close your eyes, count your blessings and have another look. ox

Leah and Mike

Blue skies and a wild bride. A great combination. Leah and Mikes engagement session lead Leah to climb out on fallen trees 20 feet in the air, so it was no surprise that she was completely thrilled to kick off her shoes and jump into the sea on her wedding day. Congratulations Leah and Mike!! I believe this one was pure elation at how great the cold ocean felt on her feet!

Andrea and Mike

I always worry as I drive away from each and every wedding, that I haven't taken enough images, that the photos will be just 'ok' that people won't like them. EVERY wedding. It's getting a bit old, so I never vocalize these thoughts... they are just my inner worries.

I drove away from Andrea and Mike's wedding in Nanaimo BC, confident that I had gotten everything, every detail and moment I could, but hoping that I had done their day justice. Against my better judgement, I'm just going to say it... I nailed it. Editing these photos today, made me very happy.

I believe I am in for an incredible year. With this much beauty and love and inspiration around, I can't see it any other way. Andrea and Mike, you two have chemistry that is infectious. I wish you nothing but happiness, always.

LOVE getting ready shots... In a very calm grooms hands, a flower. Are you kidding me!! A favorite ceremony moment! Andrea and her little sister, love how sweet they are together. I truly love this image of Andrea after the ceremony They are so effortless together I absolutely love this one, it looks so great BIG. (I'm thinking studio canvas for sure) A fun moment on some wild rocks! Chivalry is alive and well at Pipers Lagoon in Nanaimo Love a bride who will hike all over in her heels! And what wedding would be complete without a big sky shot?
