chris & mallory: married

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

chris and mallory are delightful. that’s the best word I can think of to describe them. they are kind, they love their friends and family and they like to laugh. they didn’t even mind when i poked fun at them every once in awhile and certainly weren’t afraid to dish it out either, which always makes for a fun day for me.

it was cold and beautiful and cold (did i say that already?), but we did our best to make quick work of the picture time so they could get back to enjoy the party awaiting them.

bless you in this beautiful journey you’re beginning together!

dillon & jo: married

Monday, September 3rd, 2012

a british girl and a mennonite walk into a church. an hour later, they walk out husband and wife. not much of a punch line, but it’s the truth!

jo and i have been talking about this day for a long time and she’s been dreaming about it for a lot longer. being a textiles designer, she is all about the details…the layering of color and texture and delicate intricacies that the average person might overlook. so you can imagine the focus as she undertook each project and spent months coordinating and creating.

dillon and i have not been talking about this day at all. and i have a feeling he hasn’t been dreaming about it quite as much as jo either. but i tell ya, he was certainly ready to marry his bride. and once the whole “standing up in front of people saying stuff” part of the day was over, he was so happy and relaxed.

family and friends from near, far and somewhere in between came and partied until well after sunset. what a wonderful sight.

retro fort langley wedding: mark & beth

Monday, August 13th, 2012

so this may very well be the most outrageously large blog post i ever publish, but you know what? i don’t care. it’s worth it!!

this was one of those days that moved me. not just because it was beautiful, but because i love this couple to bits. obviously, as individuals they are wonderful. but as a couple they are like, triple threat, bomb diggity, bowl you over, knock your socks off incredible duo…they can’t be stopped.

and so, it is with great joy that i share their wedding day with you. beth brilliantly dreamt up a day that fit them to a tee…sweet, personal, delicate, natural, quirky and fun.

i’m always so tempted to tell the story of each picture because there’s just SO MUCH to be said, but i’m going to try and keep quiet and let the images speak for themselves. feel free to make up your own story as you go – i kind of appreciate when someone lets me use my imagination anyway.

the poor little ring bearer got a little confused about who/where his daddy was, which provided us with a few laughs, but may have scarred him for life…

Reception: Fort Langley Community Hall / Caterer: Seasonal Experience (amazing food!!) / DJ: Simon Bridgefoot / Photo booth: Cheddar Booth / Bridal gown seamstress: Dinah Vanderhorst / Bride’s Hair: Tessa Suderman / Bridesmaids’ Jewelry: elephantine & amerrymishap / Flowers: collected from various friends / Tons of DIY projects put together by the bride and her friends and family!

lakeside wedding: derek & melissa

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

i don’t know if i’ve ever been to a wedding that had SO many elements which reflected the character of the bride and groom and was so truly unique to them. from the peruvian embroidery to highlight derek’s childhood to the traditional german bee sting cake from melissa’s heritage, they did their best to incorporate things that were meaningful to them and reflected their history as individuals and as a couple.

they both love the outdoors, so it was a no-brainer that the wedding would be outside and a member of derek’s family so generously opened their property for us to enjoy. it felt like the sound of music up there…gotta remember to wear my twirly blue dress next time (i may or may not have busted out a little “hills are alive” for old times sake). melissa arrived at the ceremony escorted by her dad in a row boat and she and derek planted a tree together to signify the roots they were establishing and the new life they were creating together. and while melissa’s brother made lattes and we munched on prosciutto wrapped asparagus, people told stories, sang songs, wept, laughed and danced while the sun went down.

jordy & jocelyn: married

Tuesday, July 10th, 2012

this wedding holds an extra special place in my heart, not only because the couple is amazing, but because the ceremony was held in the church i attended as a young girl. it was so neat to be back inside the sanctuary with the wooden pews and the big windows…lots of memories here. i may or may not have been surprised by my first kiss in a sunday school room closet.

i love the look on jordy’s face when he saw jocelyn for the first time. he kept saying throughout the day “how in the world did i get a bride this beautiful?” so great.

i loved having the privilege of watching you two walk into this new life together. all the best!

vintage greenhouse wedding: chad & emilie

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

ok. chad & emilie. so i may or may not have been privy to the fact that these two were going to tie the knot this summer slightly before it was official. i may or may not have received a message that said “do you have these dates free? because there might be en event we would like you to attend on one of these dates”. and i may or may not have been absolutely, ridiculously over the top giddy with anticipation knowing that i got to hang out with these two on one of the most important days of their lives.

now enough with the may or may nots. here’s what i know for certain: chad and emilie were meant for each other. so totally perfect fit kind of material here. chad is kind and and intelligent and incredibly gifted and always “stoked” about something. emilie is beautiful and sweet and joyful and even though she’s probably the purist person on earth, has a way of saying normal things in a funny voice that makes them sound kinda dirty (it’s amazing). as individuals they make me smile. as a couple, they make me beam. they both have huge hearts and love to serve. and they are so smitten with each other – it’s just written all over their faces. so you know you don’t even want to get me started on their day…i just need to stop talking and show you the goods.

chad & emilie chose to reserve the wedding party for family, but wanted to include a larger group of friends, so we had them meet us to take a few pictures before the ceremony.
