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"

Holly.

Are you as awesome, brave and adventurous as Holly? Holly needed a unique, creative and WOW gift for her future hubby to be... and... well... I think we "wowed" him!!! It was SUCH a pleasure to meet up with Holly and create these images with her... GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for allowing us to post a few of our favorites!

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!!!
