Janelle and Rich were married at the beautiful Westcoast Wilderness Lodge on the sunshine coast.  Angela Girard and her team at Reflection Events headed up the planning, florals, and decor (they did an amazing job with their truck full of decor goodies that they brought from Vancouver), Audio Edge was there for the music, and cake was by Clayton’s Bakery.  Thank you Janelle+Rich and their families for such a warm and welcoming weekend at Egmont- I wish I could do this every weekend!

Welcome Tyler!

The rad Angela and Corey (remember them?) recently gifted a newborn photography session to their very close friends, Angela and Shawn, which I think was a pretty darn good idea of theirs!  ; ) Congratulations Angela and Shawn!

Have a good weekend!

We photographed Sarah and Jeremy’s super fun wedding the day after Laara and Anders‘ wedding- the awesome thing about that is that both couples were referred to us by Allison and Ramsey!  Many of our weddings we photograph are direct referrals from other couples we have photographed, but this is the first time we have had two in a row referred from the same couple! (thank you A+R!) : )

This was a fab wedding at Terminal City Club, we walked over to gastown in the rain for some fun creatives before the ceremony–  lots of walking, but not a problem for this gang!

Allison+Ramsey –>they still got it : )

Congrats to an ultra sweet-as-pie couple!

The busier we get, the more the blog takes the hit, but I’ll try to blog when I can over the next few months.  : )  I am so excited about the weddings we have already photographed, as well as the upcoming weddings we get to photograph!

When Allison and Ramsey were on their honeymoon last August, they met Laara and Anders.  Allison sent the link to her wedding photo gallery along to to Laara, and in the meantime Laara got engaged to Anders.  With a little emailing and a few very nice (and lengthy!) voice mail messages, Laara and Anders decided that they would have me photograph their wedding, which was in Spokane!  I knew Mark wouldn’t be able to photograph this wedding with me, so a special thank you to my sister for being my chauffeur and driving me to Spokane and home again so that I could sleep in the car and be well rested to solo shoot their wedding, followed by another lovely wedding in Vancouver.

We had a mini engagement shoot the day before their wedding in Spokane– just a short walk near downtown.

And now, on to the wedding day!

My favorite wedding guest of all time– Anders’ grandmother!  She’s in her 90’s, and her speech at the reception was a Shakespeare sonnet that she recited by heart– one of my favorite wedding memories ever!

The Bozarth Mansion was a beautiful place for their wedding.  Thank you Laara and Anders for this fun Spokane “destination” wedding : P  

Just like “the little engine that could”, Trish and Rod’s shoot with me was like “the little session that could”.  It all started long ago when they were getting married and emailed me about their wedding, but I was already booked on their date.  sadness.  But I did end up shooting Dorothy and Andrew’s wedding, where Trish was in the wedding party.  A little while after the wedding, she scheduled an engagement style shoot with me (a.k.a. “lifestyle session” when you are already married) : )  We rescheduled this shoot more than any other session I’ve had due to sudden, freakish changes in the weather (severe changes!), and even had a shoot scheduled, with a depending-on-if-the-Canucks-continue-in-the-playoffs clause.  The funniest was when there was supposed to be bad weather on the day of their session, so we rescheduled, and it ended up being absolutely beautiful on the day that we had postponed it.  Ah well… luckily none of us gave up on each other, finally a day worked out, and VOILA! here’s a small preview!!:::
