Graeme & Yvonne - Wedding - Victoria

This past Saturday, Peter & I had the honour of documenting Graeme & Yvonne's wedding.

Yvonne's ring, shot while everyone was getting ready.

The last look...


Time to put on the shoes and go...



Yvonne was simply stunning.



Meanwhile, the boys had been getting ready too.



The groom.


The ceremony was held at the family farm under the shade of a large and beautiful tree. It was an absolutely perfect day! Warm weather, blue skies, not a cloud in sight.



The ring bearer carried this teddy bear down the aisle. I loved that one of the best men (there were two) held it for most of the ceremony!


Mr. and Mrs.



The men.

The ladies.


The men are very tough, as you can see.


Graeme is a fire-fighter so you can imagine how excited I was when he mentioned going to the firehall for some portraits.


The Bride & Groom.


Both of their rings together. I could not resist this shot!


Their yummy looking wedding cake! I only say yummy looking becuase I somehow missed out on the chance to eat some!



I think it was because I was out there capturing moments like this one: the groom dancing with his mother after the first dance with his bride.


Now for some portraits of the bride and groom.


At Ogden Point.



At the family farm.



Graeme & Yvonne didn't mind kissing for portraits :)
And I had to save this next one for last. Peter caught this moment and I think it's one of the best of the whole day. It makes me so happy I could scream!

Thanks Graeme & Yvonne for letting us in on your day! The ceremony was beautiful. We loved the speeches (and the food!) at your reception. We hope you have an amazing time in Mexico!

Ty & Elena - Wedding - Vancouver

Last weekend I was in Vancouver shooting Ty & Elena's wedding. It was so hot! 32 degrees with a non-air-conditioned church full of almost 300 people! It was so beautiful though and Elena looked stunning! She & Ty looked so happy the whole day. I don't think I've ever posted this many pictures on one post! There were just too many that I was excited about and I couldn't keep them to myself :) (click on the images to see a larger version)










This was an engagement gift to Ty & Elena and I thought it was a beautiful symbol with their rings.


The wedding registry and the Unity candles.







The first dance.



Congratulations to Ty & Elena! Thanks for letting me be a part of your day.

Baby Gabe

Nicole & Jason came over last week to have their son Gabriel's newborn photos taken. Gabe was only a week and a half old! He did such an amazing job for us, he ended up falling asleep after all the family pictures, which is a newborn-photo-session-favourite of mine. He didn't even go to the bathroom on any of the blankets!

Here are some favourites from the day:

Layna & Scott - Engagement

It was a beautiful day at Hatley Castle on Saturday! Rain threatened, but not a drop fell during our shoot. Layna & Scott have known each other since high school and will be getting married this November.
