Paul & Breanne - Williams Park Engagement

I met up with these two on a day where the sun was shining (after what felt like - to me at least - the longest winter ever) and I had a great time walking around with them! Paul and Breanne were so sweet together and just brimming with happiness and I can’t wait for their wedding this spring!

Linde Family - Aldergrove Park Family Photographer

This was a quick mini session which resulted in some of my favourite images! How can you not love the little smile on Jasper’s face?

Emma Lynn Appleyard - Edmonton Newborn Photographer

One of my closest friends had the sweetest baby girl in 2021 and I had the opportunity with another good friend to fly to Edmonton to meet Emma and support Danielle + Rielly as they adjusted to life as a family of three. They are killin’ it (obviously) and are already such amazing parents to Emma. I was honored to get to capture their family in this new stage of life. (also, how amazing is that pink blanket with Emma’s name embroidered on it?!)

Josh & Katie - Vedder River Engagement Photos

I met Josh and Katie at the Vedder River on a really beautiful afternoon and we had a great time wandering around (looking for shade mostly haha). The river is one of my favourite spots for pictures; it’s so versatile and offers some amazing backdrops. Josh and Katie were the best to photograph and were game for basically any pose ideas I had.

I loved, loved getting to document their engagement and I really can’t wait for their wedding this winter!

Steven & Heather - Fishtrap Creek Wedding Photographer

I have ALL the heart eyes for this incredible, rainy day wedding. I have been good friends with Heather for four years and doing photos for her wedding day to her guy, Steven, was SUCH a blast. Heather has a contagious laugh, a huge heart for others, a passion to serve the Lord, and was the most stunning bride. Her vintage vibes were immaculate.

Steven and Heather’s wedding day was also so relaxed! Their first look wasn’t til 3PM, and their ceremony wasn’t til 7 PM. I have a bunch of favourite details from their wedding day:

• Heather’s stunning emerald wedding ring

• The bouquet that Heather, her sister, and her friends put together themselves the night before

• Steven’s reaction during their first look (I’m not getting teary, you’re getting teary)

• The forest corridor that kept us dry during the rain and made for some beautiful portraits

• The donuts and appy food at their reception (I am still dreaming about the donuts tbh)

• The cake that one of Heather’s students made!

• The absolute hilarity in their relaxed wedding reception

Heather and Steven, let’s be best friends forever until we’re super old and wrinkly. Thanks for having me along for your wedding day, I love you both!

Colin & Veronica - Tynehead Park Wedding Photographer

Here are my favourite details from Colin and Veronica’s wedding day:

• Veronica’s dress. I am obsessed with the off-the-shoulder look and the ivy/leaf designs all over the dress!

• The getting ready outfits Veronica got for her bridesmaids (on Marketplace, no less! I love a good marketplace find.)

• That Colin and Veronica wrote letters to each other to read before their first look. I love this idea, love love love. It makes your morning special, fills you with extra feelings of love and security before you see each other, and it makes for something precious to look back on years after you get married.

• Tynehead Park! There were so many different little areas we could go that gave different feels and textures to the photographs with the two of them and their bridal party.

• The sweet emotion and laughter throughout their wedding ceremony

• The absolute phenomenal chandelier that was hanging in their reception hall. I have never seen anything like it and it really made for an incredible feel for their reception!

It was seriously, all in all, an amazing day with a wonderful, laid back couple who were clearly just so happy to be getting married and so in love with each other. I feel honored that they chose to have me hang out with them and document their wedding day! C&V, I wish you the happiest of marriages!

Willem & Marietta - Fort Langley Wedding Photography

I love Marietta. Mary and I both arrived at high school early in the mornings, due to her bus route and the fact that my dad was a teacher. We spent lots of time together in the hallways before school started and the rest of the student body arrived, and we quickly discovered that a) we live close by each other (!!) and b) we have the same taste in books and music. We bonded over books by Suzanne Young and dissecting each Taylor Swift album. So it was with great, great joy that I got to be a part of her and Willem’s wedding day this summer. It was intimate and beautiful and I’m happy I got to photograph all their love for each other. Congrats you two; I wish you nothing but years of happiness together!

Ben & Meagan - Crescent Beach Maternity Photographer

I know Meagan through Stepping Stones and am SO glad she is back living in BC with her wonderful husband, and I am so happy that they are expecting their first baby! It was a privilege getting to do photos to document this beautiful time in their life.

Friends - Fort Langley Grad Photographer

I took formal grad photos for Esther, Reece, April and Regan on one of the hottest days of the year and these girls were insane troopers and they looked amazing! If you haven’t already, you can see the photos I did of them with their grad ceremony outfits here.

Friends - Campbell Valley Grad Photographer

Esther, Reece, April, and Regan contacted me wanting to get some photos to commemorate their high school graduation! We did photos the evening of their ceremony, and I can’t get over how much I love their white dresses! We did do photos later in the week in their formal dresses - you can find that in the next blog post :)
