I think one of the most special things as a photographer is that I get to experience so much joy through other people's lives. Capturing important moments is such an honor. Especially so when I get to know people from their engagement photos, to their wedding day and eventually when they start a family.

It was great to see you Kim, and meet your absolutely lovely little boy! Much love...

 

Make it your own... part 2

Chris & Cristi had their intimate wedding in Kauai. The details were simple yet striking. Bright, tropical flowers and an aisle made from orchids. Not to mention an open air restaurant overlooking the ocean where dinner was served to close friends and family. And the bride and groom... absolutely stunning.

Will & Alana Now this was a wedding to remember. A three day affair at Shawnigan Lake filled with tennis and swimming, buffet lunches and evening dancing. Surprise musicians at the end of the ceremony and a reception hall transformed into a crystal wonderland were just a few of the details that made this such a unique day.

Nick & Arli The sun shone brightly on this beautiful Fall day, making the ceremony at Van Deusen Gardens that much more spectacular. The reception was filled with so many personal touches, including tiers of cupcakes that were to die for. The speeches were both humorous and sentimental, the food so very tasty, and the dancing went into the morning hours.

Shaun & Kim Set in the picturesque Mayan Riviera, the wedding ceremony was absolutely gorgeous, taking place on a sandy beach on the Caribbean Ocean. Purple bridesmaid dresses and pastel roses, sandals and sunglasses, and a reception under palm trees and a starry night. Incredible.

 

Shaun & Kim | Mayan Riviera Wedding

It's hard to believe that less than a week ago, we were desperately seeking shade to escape the searing sun. The men handled it in stride with their Cohibas and cervezas... the women more radiant than ever as they helped the bride on this special day. Barcelo Palace is an incredible resort with endless possibilities for fantastic photos. The ceremony took place amongst the palms on a white sand beach overlooking the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. It was simple and spectacular and so very romantic. The day was perfect in every possible way. Shaun and Kim, it was an honor to be there with you... may your love flow just as freely and sweetly as the tropical ocean breeze on your wedding day... xoxo

How stunning are these bridesmaid's???

The look of love... wow

One of my fav's on the right...

And they danced the night away...

 

 

Shaun & Kim | Playa Del Carmen

The day before the wedding, I met up with Shaun and Kim to have a short session. It's important to feel comfortable in front of the camera and in return, for me to get a sense of their boundaries. There were so many great places to shoot around Playa Del Carmen, but with the heat, we decided to keep it short. They are such a beautiful couple with a love that shines through in each look, in every touch,... yup, tomorrow's wedding is going to be a cinch! Can't wait... xoxo

LOVE the casual way she sits on his knee, the sandy feet...

Another favorite... sometimes it's all in the body language

Love the lines in this series...

Kim, you are stunning!
