Royce & Tasha | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

Royce and Tasha have got to be the cutest eclectic couple I have met this year. With their little Gold Table Number Dinosaur and wedding colored balloons it was shaping up to be a fun session. We had lots of laughs throughout the hour and I laughed just as much as they did when I was changing lenses; I told them to stop being cute so I dont miss anything picture worthy… then while I was changing lenses I heard Royce saying to Tasha “STOP BEING SO CUTE”. I cannot wait to shoot their wedding this May, It will be equally as sweet!

Dennis & Melissa | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

Melissa is a fabulous hairstylist at Ambience Salon (Garrison Crossing), owned by two very dear friends of mine Sue and Roland. Melissa has cut and dyed my hair a couple times and every time we’d talk about everything under the stars, including her boyfriend, Dennis.

After four years together, Dennis proposed to Melissa.

 Melissa was beside herself excited, with a gorgeous ring on her hand and a loving man by her side what she needed now was a photographer. Melissa was quick to start searching and her Facebook post had a plethora of photographers names being submitted for her consideration, but her boss (as well as another client) told her I would be perfect for her. I was so excited when she contacted me about doing her engagement session. I’m in love with all of their pictures and look forward to their wedding.

Dean & Lindsay | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

 I met Lindsay two years ago at her sister wedding. I remember I was running around getting prep shots as all the girls were getting ready. I caught Lindsay texting her boyfriend, “I miss you”. She missed him on this important day, Dean lives across Canada and she met him via bible school and he couldn’t make it out.  I could see it in her eyes, she adored him and wanted nothing more than to have him there with her. 

Two years later he got down on one knee right before Christmas and Lindsay without pause said YES. I was so excited to see her announce it to all her friends and family on Facebook, I added my ‘like’ and a few messages later she asked for me to shoot her May wedding. 

I knew Dean was only here for a short visit so I got to work quickly. When Lindsay asked when? I said lets shoot your pictures on Christmas Day between all the breakfasts and dinners, and we did.

Im so excited to take her wedding photos. The Blocks are such loving and welcoming people, and Im blessed to be apart of another of their daughters weddings. Its like going home to people you know!

Merry Christmas Dean & Lindsay!

Adrian & Michelle | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

You know how you know someone through a friend of a friend… well Michelle is a friend of some of the nicest friends I know.

When I sat down with Michelle she told me all about her and Adrian’s love story. She met him online and went for a simple date, a date that ended up lasting all day long. You know that feeling when there is an instant connection? I could relate to Michelle instantly after I knew their story, and I couldn’t wait to photograph their next chapter.

When we scheduled their session I took no notice at what day it would fall upon, and when I looked at the date a second time we had a good laugh, we weren’t worried about the weather just the apocalypse. Luckily for all of us, we survived. The session was so full of love that I quite instantly fell in love with them myself, the two shone together. I simply cannot wait to shoot their wedding this February, MY FIRST 2013 bride!

Merry Christmas Adrian & Michelle

^ I got to test out my second shooter’s FISH EYE!!! I stick to primes and zooms, but have yet to buy a fish eye. Im thankful for Dave and his trusty little fish eye, it was definitely fun to play with.

Jason & Divine | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

Jason & Divine have been together for 6 years, and this Thanksgiving they announced their engagement to the entire family. I cant wait to see them promise forever to each other. Jason is the son of my late uncle Ken, much like his father he isn’t too big on romantic mushiness… but Divine gave that lovely little smile and he was all game! CONGRATS YOU TWO LOVELIES!

Andy & Allison | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

Andy and Allison fell in love quite simply as soon as they became friends, and when Andy went away for a year to bible school Allison took that year to find herself and her faith. When Andy came back their frindship hadn’t changed, he still loved her more then ever. So after 3 years of dating they are getting married!!! I was so blessed to do their engagement session, and looking forward to their August 2013 wedding.

This session was also my  first time shooting with Larissa as my second shooter, she is such a sweetheart, she really helps the couple laugh and interact with each other and the camera. A few of these shots were taken by her and I cant wait till this weekend when she shadows her first wedding with me!
