Ryoko & Brendan's Sneak Peek

It's late and I'm tired so my mind isn't too sharp right now to write anything fancy about last night's engagement session! I'll save it for the final blog post when I finish all the images. But I had such a great time with this couple and look forward to their wedding next May!

Here are a few images from their session...

Jen and Josh's Engagement Sneak Peek

I had so much fun with Jen and Josh tonight! They were such a blast to photograph, and were up for some fun shots, and weren't set back by the lady threatening to call the cops on us for taking pictures on the sidewalk outside of her house! haha. It was a memorable engagement session to say the least!

These two lovebirds are fabulous! I can't wait for their wedding in October! Enjoy these few images from tonight's session!

Meagan and Josiah's Wedding Sneak Peek

Yesterday I had the great privilege and honour to photograph Meagan and Josiah's wedding. It was an amazing day- beautiful sunny weather, a couple so in love and ready to become husband and wife, a beautiful view, and family and friends enjoying a picnic lunch on the lawn. Gorgeous. The amount of detail in this wedding was crazy! I can't wait to show you the final images, but for now you can look at these images and anticipate the rest yet to come!

Congratulations Meagan and Josiah! Hope you have an awesome time at your secret honeymoon destination! Can't wait to find out where you went! Thanks again for having me be part of your day.

Enjoy...

FEATURED IN /Shimmer + Silk

On Thursday I was notified that Luna and Ayo's engagement session was featured on Shimmer + Silk wedding blog! So exciting! I'm so grateful to all the editors of the blogs that have featured my work. It's humbling and it makes me so happy and excited! So, thank you!

I'm off to a warmer climate in just a couple hours, finishing up a few things before I shut down for the weekend. Here's one more image from Hana and Eugene's wedding that I've been working on. That portraits from that wedding are blowing me away! Such a cute, stylish, elegant and in love couple! :)

Judy & Forrest's Engagement Sneak Peek

I've mentioned Judy before when we bought our house. She was our realtor when we bought our first home in 2007 and there was no question that she would be our realtor when we purchased our current home. If you're in the market to buy or sell your home, give her a call. You won't regret it!

Anyway, I met up with Judy and Forrest last night by their home in New West and we took some shots along the water by the Quay. So beautiful. But I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!

Here's their Sneak Peek...

I'm in love with Judy's ring! Just wait until you see it close up in my ring shots. Wowza!!

They are so cute!!

Judy, you are just gorgeous! Forrest isn't too bad either! :)

Christie & Gavin's Wedding Sneak Peek

Last night's wedding at The Brock House Restaurant was divine. Short and sweet, full of class and elegance... and kilts! Christie, born and raised in BC, and Gavin, born and raised in Scotland, met in Montreal where they were both attending McGill University. They live in Scotland and came out to Vancouver for their wedding. I could have stayed there all night. The accents. The gorgeous couple. Gavin's infectious smile. The sunset. The elegance. The jokes. Her bird cage veil!! It was all so beautiful!

We didn't have very long for portraits, but the images that we got are amazing. They are so cute together, and the gorgeous light on the beach was perfect! These are just a few of my favourite images from yesterday. Hope you enjoy!

Jessica & Michael's Wedding Sneak Peek

I have been DYING to post some Sneak Peeks ever since I got home last night. There is so much I could and want to say about yesterday's wedding but I'll save that for their blog post. It was truly epic, in my opinion! One of my favourites to date. But I say that all the time! haha.

I can't tell you how many times I cried yesterday. Seriously. Why am I so emotional??!! When Jessica's dad walked into the Bride's Room to see her in her dress for the first time that morning there were tears all around. Jessica, her dad, me. :) Truly a special moment and a special day.

I loved, LOVED that Michael and Jessica rented a few vintage items for their photo shoot!!!! It was a photographer's heaven!

And the theme of the wedding is maybe my favourite part. When I met with Michael and Jessica back in December I asked them if they had a theme for their wedding.  They did. Jessica read this line somewhere and knew she wanted it to be the theme, it sums up every. last. detail.

Into The Day Softly


Gorgeous, no? Add elements of Pride and Prejudice into the day and you've got their wedding covered. Man oh man. I'm in love. And so are they. Beautiful.

Here are just three shots from yesterday, but there will be oh so many more to come!

Michael and Jessica, thanks again asking me to be part of your day in such a special way. I truly enjoyed every minute of it, and your love for God and each other is infectious. Honestly. I felt like the day felt like a worship experience. I'm honoured to have been able to share in that. Thank you. Have an amazing time in Mexico!!!

Meagan & Josiah's Engagement Sneak Peek

Having visited Fort Langley many, many times over the course of their lives, Meagan and Josiah choose this location for their engagement session. Even though each of them had been there numerous times, this was the first time they were there together! Crazy!

I'll go into more thoughts on the session when I post the final blog post with all the images, but I'll just say it was a delight to photograph these two! So much love. So much anticipation for their wedding day in just over a month. Beautiful.

Here are a few shots from their session tonight.

Chrystal & Steve E-session Sneak Peek

I wanted to get these Sneak Peeks up yet tonight because who knows how much packing tomorrow will bring! For all I know, I might pack up this computer yet! I'm a lean mean packing machine, I tell ya.

Anyway, I met this lovely couple tonight and I'm so excited to photograph their wedding in August! Enjoy this two snippets from their engagement session tonight!

Hana & Eugene's Wedding Sneak Peak

I woke up this morning to rain. RAIN! Yes, I was shocked. I don't know, considering I live in Vancouver (area) but I was still shocked. I started racking my brain, and others', for covered locations in Langley in case it was still raining during the portrait shoot of the wedding. Thankfully the rain stopped for those two hours that we needed to be outside for photos! Yay!! We went to our pre-determined photo location and had a great time taking pictures of the newly married couple! Hana and Eugene are a pleasure to photograph! They are so cute together and the results are always a big success!

Here are a few images from today's wedding!

I LOVE Hana's dress! It was so stunning on her!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by. Time to call it a night! Pictures of Cheyenne's birthday will have to wait until I get back from a family trip next week!

Beth & Steve's E-Session Sneak Peek

I wrote it on my Facebook status when I got home tonight, and I'll write it again here. It's nights like this that I'm reminded why I love what I do! A beautiful couple in love in a gorgeous location with the most stunning sun light! MmmMMmmMMMMMM!!!! I could just eat it all up with a spoon. Seriously.

I met Beth and Steve for the first time tonight at Campbell Valley Park for their engagement session. They said they didn't know how to pose or what to do but, seriously, they were naturals! They knew when have the right moments at the right time. They were real, they were in love, and they were gorgeous!

I had been looking forward to tonight's shoot for a long time. This was my first session with sunset lighting since October. OCTOBER people!!!! Do you have any idea of the sunset withdrawal I've been dealing with for the past 7 months??!!!! Sheesh! I can't tell you how refreshing it was to get out there, with an actual sun, and to shoot in this amazing light tonight. Wow. Thank you God for creating so much gorgeousness!

Anyway, enough about my love and obsession with sunset lighting. Let me show you the stars for the evening, Beth and Steve. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous couple. Did I mention how gorgeous they are? ;) You guys were such a delight to photograph! I'm so excited to photograph your wedding in September!

Enjoy!

Renee & Ono Wedding Sneak Peek

Yesterday was a special day for Renee and Ono as they became husband and wife surrounded by those they loved. The weather couldn't have been more beautiful, even leaving its mark on a few of the bridesmaids shoulders. Congratulations Renee and Ono on your wedding and marriage and I wish you all the best as you start this new journey together!

Here are a couple shots from yesterday!

Vintage Inspired Wedding Sneak Peek

I had the pleasure of photographing Tim and Larissa's wedding yesterday!!! Tim and Larissa were one of the first couples to hire me as their wedding photographer, and she's a loyal blog follower/commenter and I love it!

The weather cooperated with us for most of the day, only sprinkling a few drops on us during the portrait session but not enough to damper the love and happiness of this newly married husband and wife! What a pleasure it was to be part of their day!!

Here are just a couple Sneak Peeks for you. I have LOTS of pictures to go through but these jumped out at me as I flipped through!

Congratulations again, Tim and Larissa, and have a fabulous honeymoon!!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday! I know I will! Since we were at the wedding yesterday we're doing Pizza Night tonight!

Granville Island E-Session Sneak Peek

I first met Hana and Eugene in February and I loved their easy going, sweet personalities. Hana is from Korea and Eugene is from Taiwan and they met each other here and are getting married in June. They are so cute together! I met them at Granville Island today to do their Engagement session and we were lucky to not have rain!

Here are a few pictures from this morning's session:

I'm just about ready to blog my Australian wedding! Need to narrow down my pictures a bit and do the write-up and then I'll show it to you all! Tomorrow. =)

Have a good night!

One More

As I was culling through wedding pictures yesterday I came across a set of images of the whole bridal party that I had to smile at. Emily and Brendan had an amazing bridal party, and I think this picture proves that. Check out Brendan's karate kick. Pretty impressive!

Sweet Naomi's Sneak Peek

It was a busy weekend for me! Yesterday a wedding, and today a family shoot with an adorable little 10 month old girl, Naomi. Naomi was all smiles for me when I got there and was not shy of the camera at all! Kristina, Dan and Naomi were in town visiting family so we planned this photo shoot months ago already so it was nice to finally meet you guys!

Here's a look at our session today!

Beautiful Spring Wedding Sneak Peek

I had the privilege of photographing Brendan and Emily's wedding yesterday. It was so beautiful! The bride was as gorgeous as they get and her groom was handsome as can be. They are such an adorable couple together! They were giving me cute, intimate, natural poses all day long, without me even asking them to!

It took all morning and part of the afternoon for the weather to finally figure out what it wanted to do for the day. It started with rain, on and off. Then turned to sun, then hail, then sun, then rain, then more hail, but eventually it stayed with sunny. Perfect timing, too. Just as the ceremony ended the sun came shining without a cloud in they sky!

I'll write more about the wedding day when I finish the rest of the photos.

Brendan and Emily, thank you again for asking me to capture these special moments on camera for you. I had such a great time with you guys and your bridal party. I hope you have the best time in the Dominican! Enjoy these few Sneak Peeks of your wedding day! =)

Emily has the most gorgeous blue eyes!

I love a bride and groom that will lie down on the ground for me!

A big thank you to Justine for helping me out yesterday! It was fun working with you!
