david & kristina: married

Friday, August 2nd, 2013

this wedding was a little bittersweet (for me) because it’s the third and final wedding i will get to attend and photograph for this family who is very dear to my heart.  i am so honored to have been a part of so many big and beautiful moments in this family’s history and david & kristina’s day was no exception.

kristina’s mom has always wanted to see one of her children married in the darling chapel down the road from their house and with kristina, her wish came true.  and since david  has been enthralled by the magic of flight from a very young age, it only made sense that their reception would be held at the airport and their entrance to the party would be made in a plane flown by his grandfather.

kristina prepared almost all of the sweet little flight themed details single-handedly, from the map paper airplanes to the baggage claim seating chart to the chevron table runners.  the vintage planes hanging from the ceiling of the museum were the perfect backdrop.

mans family, i love you all!  thanks for inviting me into your lives.

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!

dan & jade: sweet love

Tuesday, October 9th, 2012

one year.  

if we’re talking about eternity, then one year is just a drop in the bucket.  but if we’re measuring events of importance in our daily lives, right here, right now, one year is certainly a milestone to be celebrated.  a year of life, a year of commitment, a year of challenge, a year of firsts, a year of love…that’s the good stuff right there.  congratulations on a year, dan & jade.  was tickled to be able to celebrate with you.

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!

fairy tale vancouver wedding: nathan & cynthia

Friday, June 15th, 2012

it was a fairy tale kind of day, the kind little girls dream of in second grade.  from the tree branch lined aisle to the pops of pink to the lanterns each girl carried.  and then they opened the door and as cynthia walked through, everyone took a breath.  the handsome prince held back tears.  it was just that kind of day.

nathan was slightly disturbed by how quickly his new bride could go from happy to deadly…

happily ever after, you two!

stephen & andrea: married

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

so much laughter.  so. much. laughter.  the whole day was infused with joy.  they even responded to the bloopers with joy, including the ring bearer running into a post right before the ceremony and the bride dripping hot wax on her arm during the candle lighting.  what a crazy, fun day!

stephen was so ready to get his bride.

…and she was so ready to be gotten.

i loved how involved the whole family was, from both the dads officiating to the moms lighting the candles and sisters reading scripture.  the value they place on their family was so evident.

apparently the first kiss also had the approval of the ring bearer.

seeing as it was a dessert only reception, a little snack break was in order at you know where…

and seeing as andrea LOVES christmas, what better way to celebrate their love than to throw a christmas party in the middle of may!

cheers to you for having the wedding you wanted – it suited you both to a tee!
