abbotsford wedding photographer | brad & sarah: married

Friday, May 16th, 2014

my “work” is so much more than a job to me.  i feel what i do…i can’t help it.  whether it’s witnessing a dad seeing his daughter as a bride for the first time or hearing personal vows recited or creating an image that the grandkids will one day look back on…i feel it all.

sarah is someone we have had the privilege of watching grow up and i more recently got to know brad’s family when i shot his sister’s wedding a few years back.  to be a part of a day that was so faith filled of a couple who deeply respect not only each other but also their heritage was an honor.  while all eyes were on these two during this beautiful ceremony, if you caught a glimpse of me on the sidelines, you may have seen a tear or two stream down my cheek as well.  i was feeling it.

a glimpse into a lovely day (music by sara bareilles and jordan klassen).

gareth & tiffany: married

Thursday, June 20th, 2013

random person: “so how was gareth and tiff’s wedding?”

me: “sigh”

that’s kind of how the conversation started.  every time.  not only was i overflowing with joy to see these two come together but i was struck by the depth of commitment and emotion that was communicated throughout the day: in their preparations, their vows, their interaction with family, their thankfulness…it was so. beautiful.  as goofy as gareth is (and you will see, he.is.goofy.), his love for his bride and the seriousness with which he approached this covenant was unmatched.  and as physically gorgeous as tiff is (and you will see, she.is.gorgeous), the warmth of her heart and her tender spirit are even more attractive.

i loved this day.  every bit of it.

this was tiff’s dad, seeing her in her wedding dress for the first time.  i die.

so maybe goofy was the wrong word.  i’m not quite sure how to describe the boys’ antics.

we found ourselves shooting on a bike path and decided to use the regular interruptions to our advantage.

venue: roundhouse community centre / bride’s dress: nicole miller / groom’s suit: brooks brothers / guys’ clothes: h&m / tie bars: the tie bar / caterer: the banqueting table / desserts: made by friends and family / silk screened cloth napkins and various other crafts: bride and friends / popsicles: johnny’s pops / bouquets: made by bride & bridesmaids / musicians: rosenoak / bride’s hair: tessa suderman

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!
