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?!

Will + Leslie :: Married

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!

Jimmy + Angela :: We Do

michele — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 08:31:29 +0000

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!

Damian + Hailey :: A Sneak.

michele — Sun, 06 Jun 2010 08:42:19 +0000

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.

Kyle + Krystal :: Married

michele — Mon, 24 May 2010 07:37:08 +0000

Sweet, genuine and totally into each other. That is what I got from Kyle and Krystal. They were so comfortable in front of the camera it made my job that much more enjoyable! The day was hot, sunny and beautiful….a perfect day for a wedding, especially at Penticton Lakeside Resort where the ceremony and reception were held. Thank you to the wonderful bridal party and both of your families…..we had a wonderful time and hope you enjoy your photos:)

Make sure to check out more photos in the coming days on Brooke’s blog….she was a trooper and came out with me last minute; thanks B!

Michele

** Miss Krystal is also on my blog header up top….(she’s the hottie in the fishnets)- after doing a boudoir session with me she gave a coffee table album of the images to Kyle the morning of the wedding – I’ve got a feeling that may have contributed to his huge grin! If you’d like to see the full session click here.

Thank you to Brooke for the fab details:)

If you only knew how dorky I was getting this shot…..I swear, sometimes even I laugh at myself:)

Love.

Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to the past week……although it is of course starting to feel hectic and busy and crazy – I am loving being in the midst of it all! This next week is going to be another one with me behind the camera….Nevaeh’s ballet recital, an outdoor photoshoot of my girlies, a teensy baby girl, an uber stylish family of 4, and second shooting a wedding with Brooke. Whew!. I guess this means it’s time to start hitting the caffeine again. Hehehe!

Enjoy the sneaks and make sure to stay tuned in for full posts:)

A wonderful engagement session I got to shoot with Brooke Family session of four of the nicest kids around….a surprise for Father’s Day!My first wedding of the year….it was hot and very sunny – these two rocked it!Last but not least – a very chill baby boy. Easiest baby to date….thanks Evan!
