Ben & Nicole | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

There are people you come across in your life that fast become like family. Ben and Nicole were introduced to me through his parents, Sue and Roland. 

Sue and Roland have been a longtime source of encouragement, love, and support to myself. When Ian came into my life they showed that same unwavering love to us both.

Ben and Nicole are a lot like his parents. Their heart for others is unrelenting, and their love for each other is humbling. Being apart of their wedding day was a true honor as the private affair was only a select amount of family members, I understood that those who couldn’t attend till their much larger wedding next year would want to re-live the day through these photographs.

Ian and I both wish Ben and Nicole a lifetime of love and laughter with their future child.

Laura | Chilliwack Portrait Photography

Laura Muir is a close family friend who I have shared many laughs with throughout the years. After photographing her sons graduation 2 years ago; she had talked to me about the possibility of a private portrait session. As life often does; we both got busy and I eventually moved away. With the trip down this week she was adamant that we meet up and finally do the photo-session. 

Laura is a constant joy to those who meet her, her humor livens any conversation, and her compassion is true to a fault. I was honoured to spend the afternoon with her, and overjoyed with the summer sun that glowed on her beautiful face!

Jen Ault | Chilliwack Portrait Photography

I had two separate sessions with Jennifer and she is such a creative soul. Our first session was very soft and romantic, whereas our second one (shot today) was very much inspired by the “Black Swan”.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I had photographing them.

And then the metamorphosis to the Black Swan

Zach Hansen | Chilliwack Grad Photography

A couple years ago I had the joy of photographing Zach’s older Sister Janae. This year he got to star front and center for his own grad, with a great smile and a sharp suit Zach was dashing and debonaire. 

About an hour into our shoot, Zach’s date Jamie came for some couple shots. They were playful and fun the entire time, it was joy to photograph. 

Eve’s Bachelorette | Chilliwack Portrait Photography

Eve is getting married next month to the love of her live Carnegie Sean. But before that big day, her bridesmaids contacted me about photographing their colourful silly moment up at the lake at the tail end of their weekend Bachelorette party.

Everyone was brimming with giggles and smiles, including myself.

Congrats, and all my best wishes to you Eve!

Garcia Family | Chilliwack Family Photography

A few weeks ago prior to baby Maximus being born I was blessed to photograph Tony and Larissa’s little brood of cuties. I’ve visited the hospital for both Lyla’s and Jessa’s first days in this world and they have all turned into the cutest little dumplings!

The weather looked dicey leading up to our photo session but turned out perfectly for it!

Congrats Tony and Larissa to little baby Maximus Antonio Garcia!

Adrian & Michelle | Chilliwack Wedding Photography

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 & 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!

Margie | Chilliwack Fashion Photography

I absolutely adore Margie. We have done two sessions before and they were very artsy, she’s always been game for anything. So when I wanted to take my budding second photographer out during a session we got to play with reflective light from my Light Disk. I had a ton of fun and enjoyed myself thoroughly!
