AJ and Michelle are so fun and full of personality, it was a pleasure to be apart of their big day. From an old soul biker boy to a rock and roll victory curl girl this day was already shaping up to be full of individuality. I loved every moment and every detail that went into their wedding. Congrats again to Mr. and Mrs. Phelps!
Nathan and Sharnele became husband and wife today! Along with an amazing family and a hilarious bridal party, Nathan and Shar had two beautiful camaro’s at their disposal. One blue, the other white.
Needless to say “What do you get when you mix a white camaro with a wedding”, an awesome photo op.
Congrats again Mr. & Mrs. Harrison!
Johan and Kailie were married this past July, on a warm summer day. Two friends deeply in love with one another tying the knot surrounded by friends and family up at Camp Charis.
I was blessed to be asked to do their wedding, and loved every vintage detail; old books, hydrangeas, and lace. The simple sweetness of tradition mingled with the overwhelming sense of family in the air made this day one to remember.
↓ Kailie honored her grandfather by sewing his cufflinks onto her bouquet.
↓ A fun planned shot that we took on a bridesmaid’s phone to text to Johan before the ceremony.
↑ He absolutely loved it!
↓ AND then he saw her walk down the aisle, and his expression made me teary eyed as well!
Dean & Lindsay, what can I say. How often do you get to shoot a bride who reminds you of the grace and beauty of Princess Diana. I was anticipating this wedding the moment they got engaged, having photographed her older sister Danielle two years prior I knew the details alone would be stunning. So without further adieu, their wedding!
And then came the “first look”.
The best part of any of the Block daughter wedding’s is the fact that their mom has designed and made each and everyone of her daughters wedding dresses from scratch. Extremely unique to the personalities of her girls.
I absolutely loved Lindsay’s, as it was very much a whimsical summer dress, playful and full of movement.
I wish them both a lifetime of happiness in each others arms and an eternity of love within each others hearts.
Royce and Tasha are such a fun playful couple, together with their entire family you couldn’t feel any more at home. I adored the vintage feel of their wedding, incorporating yellow, grey, white and lace. I love being able to share my passion with my bride and groom and give them photographs that match their vision!
Congratulations to Royce and Tasha Hoxie!
When Andrea contacted me about shooting her wedding I was beside myself with excitement for my Vancouver bride, we had so many ideas on where to go, and even though the initial engagement session was impromptu we made it work and I fell inlove instantly with their images. I asked Andrea what their love story was, and she was more then kind enough to give us a glimpse into the moment that changed her life for good, the engagement story!
Andrea writes: “We flew over to Palm Springs June 3rd, when we arrived in sunny Palm springs the weather was beautiful the air was crisp and breezy and the temperature was just right! It was around the second night we were watching a local jazz band at the beautiful resort, after a few glasses of red wine and watching an amazing guitar player finish his solo, Mike then asked me to walk around the koi ponds in the area and to glance at the full moon shining that night. We walked over to an uncover patio area staring at this one koi pond that had the moon shining so bright over top of water it was glistening so beautiful ! At that moment mike handed me a penny and had one in his hand and asked me to make a wish at that moment and throw the penny in the beautiful pond (which I did) ! He asked what I wished for , of course I said ‘I can’t tell you or else it will not come true’ I asked him what he wished for , and that is when he pulled the ring out and said ‘for you to be my wife forever and always !’ And the rest follows ….”
I cant wait for their September Wedding at St. Francis and Queen Elizabeth Park!
Much love to both Mike and Andrea ♥
Adrian and Michelle are very dear to my heart, Michelle and I both met our men online… always a nervous moment before you actually meet the guy. But their very first date was nothing but perfect, it was a coffee date (as most are) and the date lasted 8 hours and became the beginning of the greatest adventures of their lives. Michelle is such a lovely soul, with an infectious smile and giggle I couldn’t help but fall in love with them as a couple.
Their warm and inviting personalities would fool you if you really knew their professions Adrian is an armed guard, and Michelle is a Guard at the Prison. They instantly had something in common and the longer they were together the more they found in each other. I wish Adrian and Michelle decades upon decades upon decades of married bliss, never were two people more perfect for each other then they are.
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!
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.
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!
