Brent + Chelsea :: Married

Here it is…..my take on Brent and Chelsea’s wonderfully thought out wedding day. It was intimate and warm,  filled with beautiful details, handmade decor and vintage touches. Safe to say that Brooke and I were smiling from beginning to end. Chelsea and Brent, thank you so very much for having us….make sure to check out Brooke’s blog for her images as well as White Linen in the coming days for even more goodies.

** credit to Brooke for the “boys” shots, as well as many of the details. Thanks girl, so glad to have you along for this one! xo


The boutenniere’s were lovingly made by the bride herself. Love. You can’t go wrong with a Maggie Sottero gown. Cheslea, you looked incredible from head to toe.


Chelsea’s to-die-for ring was found in an antique shop…the diamond is from the 1890’s and the setting is from the 1920’s. So very beautiful.

Perhaps my favorite group image we’ve ever done….the inspiration was from a  Vogue supermodel cover – you guys rocked it!The ladies, and their wonderfully different dresses made me smile. The bridesmaid dresses are from Dessy Group. I think I need one:)My fave of the day….not as pretty as some of the others, but a wonderful moment nonetheless.Beautiful details, right? The decor was a mixture of finds from Etsy, vintage shops and handmade. The “cards” suitcase belonged to Chels’ great-grandfather and the guest sign-in tree was drawn by Chelsea’s Dad. Our take on the “first dance”. When B and I head out early, we get the couples to have a private dance. Usually outdoors in the late light….almost better than being surrounded by a tonne of guests, dontcha think?!

Pat + Kara :: Engaged

Brooke and I had such a great time with this couple;  a warm breezy evening with soft glowy light could only mean we were happy happy girls! We shot two locations we’d driven by before but never tried out – I’m so glad we did….even if that meant I had to cancel a late night client meeting because I was still picking thorns out of my clothes! Pat and Kara, you made our jobs easy peasy and so very enjoyable. Thanks for being fab!

Sarah + Shane :: Engaged

A beautiful session for a very beautiful couple. Sarah and Shane will be married this September, and it is a wedding I am truly excited about; their attention to detail is nothing short of fabulous…..when I saw Sarah’s dress and Shane’s blazer and his Pa’s hat – to say I was inspired is an understatement. Only one setback happened on this shoot – we were bombarded with rain and a very stormy sky, so we decided to outrun the rain. A 45 minute drive later and we found ourselves in this stunning field Brooke and I had spotted during a drive to Vancouver. It couldn’t have turned out better……even with the rain:)

Sarah and Shane….thank you for being so patient with me; and especially for being so sweet – it was easy to capture the real “you’s”!

Michele

Yup, I know…..paper envy, right – AND it’s letter pressed. Yum oh yum. NOW do you understand why we’re excited about the wedding?!

07/13/2010 - 10:01 pm Sarah - Man, I love this! I just can't stop looking at it over and over! :)
