Brian & Mary | Chilliwack Engagement Photography

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.

Kyle + Christina | Fraser Valley Engagement Photography

There are people you meet in life that are infectious; their laughter, stories, and personality invite you in and you leave feeling as if you have met your newest best-friend. From our first dinner consultation Christina and I had a blast, and when their engagement session arrived the same beauty and pure joy shone through when Kyle held her in his arms.

They floated effortlessly around the engagement session; an honest giggle turned into a warm embrace, and moved into a tender kiss that was like a delicate dance between two intertwined souls.

Their Spring wedding is going to be amazing, and I am so excited to document it for them, they may just be my favorite!

Braden and Carolynn | Chilliwack Engagement Photography

I love when I get to photograph a friend that I have known since childhood. Carolynn and Braden recently got engaged, and when we went up to Columbia Valley we got to play with some autumn colours, and luckily not bad weather. I cant wait to shoot her wedding in April.

AJ & Michelle | Chilliwack Engagement Photography

Aj and Michelle are an AWESOME couple. Its easy to see once you’ve met them that they are sheer fun and full of adventure. AJ grew up in the Fraser Valley and Michelle moved here from Alberta a couple years back. Individually they are infectious personalities, together they are an unstoppable couple.

They are very much in love and completely enamoured by each other, and I cant wait to shoot their wedding this September!!!

Johan & Kailie | Chilliwack Engagement Photography

Johan and Kailie are one of those couples you have known your whole life. I grew up with both of them from childhood to present, and even though they may not have ‘found’ each other till now, I guess the old saying “they were right under your nose the whole time” really does apply. I couldn’t imagine two people so perfectly made for each other as them. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next month!

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!
