Kevin and Ciji

I get all the most amazing couples. Its true. I do. Just look at Ciji! Are you kidding me!?! What an amazing bride!! What a beautiful day.

It was so ridiculously hot, but so insanely beautiful all at the same time! All of you amazing people out there, just make my job so much easier, and way more fun!!! The vows were beautiful, I believe Kevin to be a bit of a poet, and Ciji to be an incredible creature as well! Their reception was held at the Oyster Bay Resorts and was decorated beautifully.

I truly love what I do!!! I hope you two are enjoying your honeymoon, I can't wait to share the rest of your images with you!!!!

I'll leave you with an image of their beautiful sleeping daughter Ella.

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

Katy and Reigan

It was an amazing day, and consequently I think we created some amazing images, the first one above here, may just be my favorite wedding image I've taken, ever. Not only do these two share a deep, spiritual bond together, but everyone around them, supports, loves and is just so genuinely 'there' for them. It truly was a beautiful event to witness.

The first thing that floored me was the intricate detail that Katy had personally created with each centerpiece. Each centerpiece was themed with a special person in their lives, along with a bit of writing about that person as well. It was emotional, thoughtful, and incredibly touching (don't be silly, of course I cried). A bit of rain as the ceremony was to begin, only brought out good use for a few glorious umbrella shots, and really... whats a little rain?!

I believe that the only people that weren't from out of town were Katy's wonderful grandparents... and everybody else was from ALL over, and as far away as New Zealand. That always says a lot though, that people will travel so far for the sake of two people... you know, that they must be special.

Katy was absolutely radiant, and is someone that you just want to be around more. Reigan, more reserved at first... (at first) and then just so genuine and caring, you just want to get to know more.

Everyone, everything, every moment. Beautiful. I am so honored to have been chosen to capture these timeless memories for you and your family. May the two of you have nothing but love. Always. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.... And of course the boys... Could easily become another all time favorite. "Katy and the Light"

Natalie and John

Blue skies. Ocean views. Loving parents. Supportive, amusing, helpful, friends. Big hearts and a LOT of energy. Natalie and John were married in a friends backyard, overlooking the sea. My fabulous assistant Shannon and I arrived at Natalie's Dads house Sunday August 3, eager to create some amazing images with them. We were greeted with a giant ray of sunshine (Nat) on the patio waving wildly and yelling, 'I'm so excited you are here!!! Come up, come up!!!' (MOST CERTAINLY NOT BRIDEZILLA)

The dress, unique. The hair, perfect. The bride... full of life. Just how we like them!! The ceremony was small, simple and beautiful. The groom was collected, handsome and ready for anything. The bridal party was awesome (until the cooler was empty... then photo time came to a gradual ending). We headed back to the Maritime Heritage Center where Natalie had really outdone herself with the decorations. The chocolate browns and lime green, with splashes of white, screamed PERFECT. The speeches... I laughed, I cried, I laughed and then laughed more. Natalie and John I couldn't be happier for you both, and loved every moment of your incredible wedding. Thank you for having me there with you!

Where do I start???

I have so much to tell you about...So many weddings... so many photos... in fact 5 weddings in 10 days. So for now... I'll leave you with these from Chantelle and Jeffs wedding along the Quinsam River in Campbell River. The sun, the adorable children, the beautiful guests, Chantelle breaking down in tears before venturing down the isle... With so many amazing moments, so much laughter... I am thrilled to have been a part of their action packed, fun filled day... Thank you both, for including me on your wedding day!!! (You'd think I had paid these birds to fly perfectly in front of Chantelle and Jeff during our time together to create this image...) All Chantelle wanted to do was... SAY I DO!!!
