It was an intimate, casual wedding in Mexico.
The intimate, casual wedding of two people I've known and loved forever.
I didn't make a speech, but I suppose, these photographs, are my speech...
My elementary school was within walking distance. I would walk up the road, picking up my pal Andy... we would venture down the road and pick up the neighborhood twins, Matt and Mark. Some times we would stop at the local corner store, get some one cent candies... and eventually we'd wind up at school. Somewhere on the other side of town, Heather was also in elementary school making fun of a boy named Bryce. They lived within walking distance of each other. As the fates would have it, Bryce and I wound up together, as did Heather and Andy.
Heather and I have been friends since forever, that is no secret. But, Andy was always a good friend to me, someone I looked forward to spending time with. We lifeguarded together and I always valued sharing a laugh with him. In fact, in my diary from elementary school I wrote "Andy is the funniest". Heather always looked forward to Bryce coming home each summer from his far away hockey adventures. We were all connected in different ways. But connected always.
On Friday in the beautiful Mayan Riviera, Heather and Andy exchanged vows in front of an close group of family and friends. Of course, I was there to photograph my fabulous friends look into each others eyes and announce their commitment and love to the world. It certainly is nice to see dear friends, happy. With such deep connections to so many people involved... it was moving, beautiful and exactly as it was supposed to be.
Wishing you all, a long and joyous life together.

Sisters (or in our family, better known as 'seesters' watching their baby sister get all dolled up.
Loving looks from the mothers of the groom and bride.
I love love love the way these girls love their dad! Look at the pure love here.
My beautiful cousins
Auntie Marie looking lovingly at her little girl. It struck me here, that her little baby girl, was once... just as small as my baby girl. Unreal!
I absolutely love this moment. No one around, but them. There is all sorts of unspoken in this image.
I love this one.
and this one.
I love everything about this image.
I love this peekaboo moment between father and daughter.
Simply stunning.
The most beautifully simplistic wedding, ever.
Look at them! Gorgeous!
She grew up climbing the rocky shores of her backyard on Quadra Island. He grew up on completely different shores in the UK. Their worlds destined to collide. Look at them together, from worlds apart, smiling and radiant. It truly amazes me that two people from completely different countries and backgrounds can end up together. Each have their own unique story, childhood, lives that just seems to lead directly to each other. In some kind of twisty turny way, they wound up together. It truly is a beautiful thing. Clearly they were led in the right direction. Look at their faces. They didn't stop smiling the entire day, and that, is perfection. May your lives be full of the spirited sense of adventure and happiness that brought you together. 
Shevaun was, despite this photo. On time!
I have few words lately, but I have a feeling that will change with the weather.
Blue skies and sunshine always lead me astray from the computer. Not to mention a nearly five month old little girl who I can't stop kissing. I have come to the conclusion that my blog will be here. The same as when I left it last, but my little girl just keeps changing! Her little cheeks the perfect size for kissing. She is so snuggly right now, so perfect... its hard to stay away! That, and I always have more words in the fall. When the leaves change, when the dew returns to the grass in the morning. When the rain falls. I'll see you then.
