We have the coolest clients – really! Simon was so excited about planning the wedding that he contacted us about availability before he had even proposed!! As soon as we met Stephanie and Simon we knew these two were seriously in love and that they were going to have one very fantastic wedding. The whole affair was held on Thetis Island on the small farm where Stephanie grew up and it really took an Island to pull off this wedding. There is something very special about small rural places and even better to have your wedding in the place that made you who you are. The girls all got ready in her parents old farm house and the ceremony and reception were down in a field with cows grazing in the background. Stephanie and her helpers spent months searching for vintage floral table cloths, tins, vases, and mason jars to complete this beautiful vintage farm look. There were so many special things to remind Stephanie of those closest like her grandmother’s veil and heirloom engagement ring. Stephanie was truly blessed with the most amazing flowers from Quack Farm nursery who specially grows and gifts their former employees with their flowers on their wedding day – which resulted in the largest most stunning bouquet ever! It was really special to scout locations with Stephanie and Simon as she shared her childhood haunts with us. She is one of the lucky few to have actually attended a one room school house! Every once in a while a couple inspires us to do something a little different. Stephanie is a visual artist and has a love of photography so we decided to bust out our old polaroid and let them have a session photographing each other. We were really glad we did as they loved it and left them with some special keepsakes from their day (watch for a later post on this). Stephanie and Simon are so in love that they could barely keep themselves from giggling all day! We wish you two all the very best and are so happy that you shared not only your wedding with us but also your beautiful island home.

Jessica and Dusty love music, tattoos, their pup, and each other! Surrounded by all the people who love them the most they got married on the beach under a driftwood arch that Dusty built. It was a perfect breezy sunny love filled day and we were so excited to be there to witness it. We knew that this wedding would have style when we first met Jessie and Dusty with their tattoos of trees, roses, and gypsy wagons. Their ceremony was held at a family friend’s property in Deep Cove and the cocktail reception was at the fabulous the Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse in Saanichton. We didn’t do a prep session with these two and Aaron was up at the road waiting for Jess to arrive so the first time I saw her was as she came down the aisle and I think everyone gasped with me at how gorgeous she was. Her Martina Liana dress is stunning and so perfect for a breezy day. Her gorgeous flowers, that are so stunning and filled with daisies, poppy heads, and luscious greenery were done by friend Claudia Logan who really should sharing her gift with everyone! Their something blue was a cool vintage ride in a Plymouth GTX. The very sweet Mr. McKay of Deep Cove let us use his gorgeous Garry Oak meadow which held a most perfect lone tree that was just waiting for us. We then headed to a beach to catch the late day calm of the inlet before the tide came in. I was in my wellies focusing on not getting too low on the water with the camera when I heard Aaron running and scuffling behind me as he rescued my floating dress shoe and our reflector from a trip on the sea! The night ended with views over the Sea Cidery’s orchard, cigars on the patio, delicious appies, chilled cider cocktails, and the best dessert bar ever created by the lovely ladies of Jam Tarts. I think Aaron is still daydreaming about the oreo truffles! These two had the most unique and personal guestbook – a painted tree filled with the fingerprints of their guests turned into art. Jess and Dusty were so happy on this day and we could just feel it in the way they looked at each other. We also saw why these two are so loved by their friends and family – all the best to such a sweet couple!

Jennifer and Aiden were born on The Rock of the east coast, met on a sunny vacation, and got married on The Rock of the west coast last Saturday! We have been looking forward to this Metchosin wedding ever since we spent a fun afternoon with Jennifer and Aiden last fall on their engagement shoot. The ceremony and reception were held at The Lodge at Weir’s Beach and ended with a surprise for Aiden from Jennifer when a jazz band appeared playing The Beatles’ All You Need is Love. They had their first dance on the lawn overlooking the water to my new favourite song “Nothing Like You and I” by The Perishers. There were a few tears on many faces, even Jennifers’ Dad which was very sweet. The chilly weather was a good intro to the west coast for all of the out of town guests but no one seemed to mind. We had such a great time getting to know their families from Newfoundland and hanging out with Jennifer and Aiden as they laughed and cried their way through the day. Thanks to Jennifer and Aiden for including us in your day!!

Nic and Erin are getting married this May and we recently went out to shoot their engagement session with them and their daughter Sophie. We met Nic and Erin through Lindsay of Annabelle Lee Events. We spent a beautiful late afternoon with these three in the park and at the beach, along with their super nice friends who came to entertain Sophie while we worked with Nic and Erin. Sophie is a lively, sweet, funny little peanut who I am sure will be a show stealer at their wedding! Nic and Erin were tons of fun – Nic had some pretty funny stuff to say to make Erin and Sophie laugh. They are such a sweet little family and we are so excited for their wedding that is coming so soon. Here are some images from our session with them. We can’t wait to be a part of their big day!!

Wedding season is almost here!!!! We get cabin fever in the winter, not because we live in a cabin or because we live in the snow – more like rain and wind, but because winter means not as many people feel like braving the winter storms for weddings and engagement shoots. Spring means flowers, warm sun, fragrant breezes and engagement sessions!!! We really love e-sessions because we get to know the couple before the big day and it makes us that much more excited for their wedding. We arrive on the most important day of their lives as friends. This last weekend, we had the pleasure of shooting two e-sessions and here are some pics from our afternoon with Pia and Rajan. Aaron and Rajan grew up in the same schools together – who knew that one day we would be their photographers! The morning was rainy but afternoon brought us beautiful cloud filtered sun and dramatic skies at one of our favourite locations. One great things about e-sessions is you don’t have to worry about the big beautiful white dress. Don’t get me wrong I love the dress – it just limits what you can do sometimes as it isn’t that easy to climb around stuff in. I had spotted this boat quite a while ago when using this location for a wedding but the climb required to board this beauty was not quite big-white-dress appropriate 
I think this boat was waiting for Pia and Rajan. Here are some images of our session with them. We had such a great time it was hard to choose which ones to post!
