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?!

A quick peek at an unforgettable wedding….stay tuned here and on White Linen for all the fabulous bits !

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!

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)!

A little sneak for yet another amazing couple – Will and Leslie just got married this past Sunday and are off in Africa for the next 6 weeks. I have to say, you two win the prize so far for most unique ceremony…..everyone came in by steam train and the ceremony was held at a tressle, train and all. A small and intimate wedding with such a laid back couple. Perfection.

Check back here, as well as Brooke’s blog in the coming days for a full post!

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of shooting alongside Brooke at a truly incredible wedding. The first time B met Angela, she called me up and said…..you HAVE to shoot this with me; you will love this girl!  Well, she was right:) Angela and Jimmy were both so kind-hearted, genuine and funny that the day didn’t feel like work at all. I truly enjoyed every second of it….prickles, tumbleweeds, scratches and all:)

Thank you both so much for having me along and putting up mine and B’s crazy ideas!

Michele

I know, I know…..she really couldn’t be any more beautiful, could she? You were simply stunning Angela:)

If you’re wondering where the getting ready, ceremony and detail shots are……head on over to Brooke’s blog for a peek; I got off easy this time!

So, for any of you who have been to my blog, you’ll know that I talk a LOT. Which also means I type a lot. Well, this time it’s one image and few words…..it’s much later than I care to admit, and it’s a 9 a.m. wedding in the morning:)  Today Brooke and I had the best time shooting Damian and Hailey’s wedding, and to say they were an incredible couple  would be an understatement.

Soooo…..because you were uber fabulous, here is a sneak before you head off on your honeymoon. Have a wonderful time – you deserve every second.

Michele.
