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!

Easter

Easter has come and gone. It felt different this year. Busier. Yet less busy at the same time. It was strange. I wasn't in the head space that I normally am for Easter. That's probably mostly my fault. I didn't take time to fully reflect on the reason for Easter before it actually came. And by the time it had passed I was just starting to get there, mentally and emotionally.

I feel like I want to write so much more. About my faith; about how Easter is the reason for why I believe what I do; about the love of Jesus and the sacrifice he made so that we can live life to the full. So much. I've read so many beautiful blog posts this weekend from other Christians that sum it up so good. I especially loved the way Jamie summed it up in this blog post. So instead of reiterating the same thing, I'll guide you to her post!

Here are some pictures of Girlie on Easter Sunday before we took off for Church! She looks so grown up here!!

Hahahaha... don't mess with her... she means business!

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!

Random Monday

My husband is brewing a batch of beer as I sit in my dungeon, culling through Saturday's wedding pictures (which are stunning... if I do say myself! This couple is really, really, ridiculously good looking- say that with your best Ben Stiller voice from Zoolander.) Oh, in case you're wondering, James is brewing a Nut Brown beer. I know, so exciting. haha. It kind of is actually. The house smells like a barn and I love it. I'm a country girl at heart, what can I say?! No, seriously. If I could milk cows for a living I'd be one happy girl (as long as I didn't have to do the early morning milking and I could still do photography!)

My day has been random. Girlie actually slept in today which was a treat. Then we had a late brunch and got started on cleaning our garage out. I have been dying to sort through/purge/declutter/organize our garage and its contents for so long! It feels so good to have that done with. Anyone want a VCR or roller blades? (For those of you born after 1995, a VCR is a way of watching movies that requires rewinding the video when you're done watching it. I know, so old school. haha)

There were bubbles and dirt; coffee and grad caps; plaid suit jackets and cables; beach toys and baseball gloves. And there was LEGO. A whole two suitcases of Lego. My husband was a bit of a Lego fanatic growing up. Even to this day, they're split into two suitcases, one of which holds the contents that I'm not even sure he'd ever let our own children play with. haha. One of the suitcases has a pen explosion in it and I made James clean them today. Pretty sure that wasn't his most favourite part of the day! But at least it's done with now and we can move on.

There was pizza for dinner and a hair cut for my brother-in-law. There was a toddler serenading her parents over the monitor with continuous rounds of "uppabuppa world so high", on repeat. There was a short conversation with a good friend. There was chatting with the neighbour while our children passed a ball back and forth. There was nostalgia as we sorted through boxes containing items that at one point in time had significant meaning to us. There was Regina Skeptor and Lightroom and Blogger.

And there was contentment. Peace. Satisfaction.


Oh, and on a side note, I had another photo shoot featured on Weddings In BC the other day! Denise's Trash the Dress shoot from last summer was featured!

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!
