Michelle + Daniel got married at the beginning of May on a beautiful sunny day. We met up with them as they were exiting the temple from their ceremony + then spent the afternoon taking photos of just the two of them! It was a different wedding for us in the aspect that we did not see them until after they were married which meant no getting ready or ceremony photos. They also decided to not have a wedding party so we were able to focus our attention on getting beautiful portraits of just the two of them. It was amazing! Green was the theme of the day in honor of Daniel’s Irish heritage. All the nieces + nephews wore the color of the day + even the cake was green. The more time we spend with Michelle + Daniel the more we love them. They are two of the kindest souls who value family, love, and enjoying the simple things in life. We are so blessed to know them.

Meet Suzy + Trevor. These two beautiful people will be having an intimate wedding in the mountains in September and we can hardly wait for a trip to Fernie! We met up with them near their hometown the last time we were back to Alberta to do their engagement session. Suzy + Trevor love the outdoors + the park they chose was absolutely perfect. I loved watching these two interact + especially loved whenever they would make each other laugh…which happened quite often :) I am so happy that these two found each other + so honored to be a part of documenting one of the most important days of their lives!

Last week while in Mexico we blogged the first part of Patricia + Victor’s engagement session…and now we bring to you part two. The day we had scheduled their shoot ended up being a strange day here in Vancouver. Sunny in the morning + then a random storm moved in that not only dumped rain but also hail. It seemed appropriate to cancel the session, but later regretted that when the clouds parted + the sun came out to play again. We contacted Victor + Patricia to see if it was too late to continue with the original plans. Thank goodness they were still open because it would have been a shame to miss out on this fabulous evening. Enjoy a few favorites from our time with these two + their dog Teddy.

We are currently in beautiful Mexico getting ready to photograph Paige and Brents wedding. It’s going to be an amazing day celebrating with Paige and Brent and their closest friends and family. Thankful for good weather + the most beautiful couple to photograph! I have shot a few destination weddings but this is our first time shooting one together. That makes me very happy :)

Before the wedding starts, we wanted to share a recent engagement session we did with Patricia + Victor. We loved getting to photograph these two in their home. It was a beautiful space, with amazing views of the city, and furniture to die for. Victor owns a store that sells mid century furniture so I knew their space would be straight out of a magazine…and it was! Thanks Patricia + Victor for having us in your home. It was a dream to photograph in!

Part Two of their engagement session is coming soon!

We are in full swing over here. Shot our 2nd wedding of the season on Friday + will be leaving to Mexico on the weekend for number 3. This also means we have been busy during the week photographing our amazing couples as they prepare for their wedding days! We met up with Ashley + Donny on a perfect evening in Steveston for their engagement session. These two know how to have a good time + I’m pretty sure I laughed the entire session thanks to Donny. They will be getting married in September + we are so excited to be a part of their day!

Today is engagement shoot day with some of our dear friends from Calgary + then we are starting our trip back to the prairies tonight! Can’t wait to snuggle with my niece + nephews and do farm life with the rest of the fam. I am looking forward to home cooked meals, and a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. This summer is going to be our busiest wedding season to date, so a little R&R with my family is just what I need before it all starts. Speaking of weddings, Stacy + Josh will be getting married in May and we are so excited to be a part of their day! Here are a few favourites from our recent engagement session with these two.

The first time we met Tanya + Serge in person was the day before their wedding. We had initally met them over skype a few months back as they live on the other side of the country in Halifax. Oh how I love technology! As Serge is from the east + Tanya is from Vancouver, celebrating with their closest family + friends was what was most important to them. And I must say that these two are blessed to have such amazing family + friends to do life with. We left the wedding feeling like we had just spent the day with people we had known for years. I love when that happens. In Fact, we felt so close that I even let one of the groomsmen who missed the memo on the shoe colour borrow my boots for a few shots…there is a first for everything!

We have an exciting week ahead with the Canada Photo Convention starting today, a visit from dear friends, 2 amazing engagement sessions, and a trip back to the prairies to see family! It’s going to be busy but so fun :) Hope you all have a fabulous week!
