We first met at Sidekicks Brewing where I got to know them a little better before their upcoming session.
We talked about their love story, both with full chapters of their own before they found each other. It was simple and sweet.
We took a path down to the river bed where the evening golden hour did not disappoint, it was magic!
The golden light between 7 – 8pm that July evening by the Vedder was absolute perfection and made every photo feel like it was straight out of a Nora Ephron movie.
As a photographer I was in heaven. As a couple I’m sure they were too, every photograph was filled with immense love and true joy with unbridled laughter.
And then he asked her a question…
Usually I’m in on the proposal, but this one was a complete surprise, and it was so special. Their love for each other evident in the quietness of their embrace.
Thank you again Brian and Mary for asking me to document one of the most wonderful summer nights straight out of a movie, trusting me to help you tell your love story through timeless photographs.

I wanted to officially announce that my photography business is operating out of Chilliwack again, for past and future clients I wanted to let you know I am here to photograph your biggest and smallest moments again. I know a lot of people are still asking if I am in town, and YES I am!
So to say hello again Fraser Valley I am doubling up my portrait sessions. More time, more photos, and half the price!

Ian and I went on a getaway to the Island where we met the Vage family out of perfect happenstance. Heidi and her family live at a Christian Camp called Esperanza, nestled along the inlet. Our first introduction was when we stopped at their dock to fuel up our boat.
As Heidi said “It was the Lords timing” that I was in their small town to photograph her family, and after a week of rain the sun came out for their session, it was truly blessed.
Like, share, and leave a comment for this amazing family doing great things for children, youth, and young adults!

Michael and Arielle have been close friends of my husband from long before I even met Ian. While Michael and Ian have followed very similar career paths, their differences are what make for such a strong friendship.
Today we decided (since both of our husbands are in town, Ian and Mike are usually on opposite camp rotations) that today would be the perfect time to do their photo session. On this golden afternoon we wanted to thank Mike and Arielle for all their hard work in our wedding this january, with Mike being Ian’s best man, and Arielle being responsible for our yummy reception cupcakes.
Thank You Mike and Arielle!

Zoey is a breathtaking dog, she is a Blue Heeler/Border Collie Cross. The perfect mixture of good behaviour, steadfast adoration of her owners, and a very smart canine overall.
