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?!

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!

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”!

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?!

Happy Father’s Day!!!

This one is for my Dad, and Nevaeh and Eve’s “Gimpa”. Yep, Miss Nevaeh tagged him with that name when she was just one year old, and it has stuck! Last month I did a quick session with Dad, stepmum Dianna and their 3 kids….it had been years since they had a family pic done, and well….I guess I was the obvious choice, right?! So, don’t say anything if you see him because this image is his Father’s Day gift….I’ve printed it HUGE for his office – I think he’ll love it!

And of course to my hubby……Happy “Papa’s” Day to you too…….xoxoxoxox!

Two girls, fresh out of the tub……cotton jammies, clean sheets, bouncing and giggles. What more could you ask for?!

And yes, I do realize that our youngest mildly resembles Jack Nicholson in The Shining – darn good thing she’s cute, right?

Enjoy the pics…man, it was funny getting these. Little ones crack me right up!

Shane + Sarah :: Engaged

This wonderful couple is getting married September, and I cannot wait for what is sure to be an incredible day. We headed out this evening to a black sky and a lot of rain. We drove for an hour while crossing our fingers and hoped for a break. Well, we got it. Just so happens Brooke and I had spotted this field on our drive to Vancouver and the sun peeked out just as we were driving past. To say I am thrilled with this session, and more importantly, this couple – would be an understatement. Sarah and Shane, the two of you are so obviously in love that you can do no wrong in front of the camera. I loved photographing you together and am counting down for the big day:)

Enjoy your peek! ( And stay tuned for the full post)!
