I was finally able to finish editing Shaun and Meghan's photos from their beautiful wedding on Hornby Island. I fell in love with a black and white series we did at Helliwell on the grassy bluffs... Some are repeats from the original post, but I think the black and whites have a completely different mood and feel...
Okay, I admit, it's a bit of a trek to get there, but once you breathe in the fresh air of Hornby Island, there is nothing quite like it. Even when it rains. Apple trees and blackberries grow everywhere, rain forests and rocky beaches, arbutus trees and grassy bluffs. It quickly becomes obvious why Shaun and Meghan chose this place for their wedding.
Shaun and Meghan married under an arbor of driftwood and ribbons. In the short ceremony, there were stories and poems, promises and vows, laughter and tears, and of course... so much love. The love amongst the friends and family made the whole day so incredible. The rain couldn't dampen the joy and laughter, the humorous and touching speeches or the dancing that went well into the night. It was truly a beautiful day...
Thank you Shaun and Meghan... it was such an honor to share in your day!
Dustin and Cynthia met the summer out of high school, and after 9 years of being together, they are getting married! Such a great couple, I look forward to their wedding in June!
I love the palate from this shoot, the soft greys and neutral tones. We met at Lighthouse Park just as the sun went behind a cloud bank, creating a soft glow, which was so beautiful on the lovely couple and their surroundings!
If I was the sun way up there
I'd go with love most everywhere
I'll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I'm still around
I'll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
You can go swimming when you're here
I'll be the rainbow when the sun is gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm
That's how strong my love is, darling,
That's how strong my love is, baby,
That's how strong my love is, oooh,
That's how strong my love is.
I'll be the ocean so deep and wide
I'll get out the tears whenever you cry,
I'll be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and love you warm
That's how strong my love is, so deep in,
Well, that's how strong my love is
So much love, yes so much love, oohh,
Yes so much love, yes so much love,
Anything that I can do, I'll be good for you,
Any kind of love you want, I'll be with you....

Here's a peek from a shoot on the weekend...
So lovely to meet you both! Looking forward to the wedding!
Keith and Alana were married on a beautiful beach in Maui in the Spring. I was so excited to have the opportunity to photograph this stunning couple over the weekend... wedding dress and all.
Alana and Keith, I had so much fun, thank you for being adventurous and patient. Anyone who would scale a fence in her wedding dress is pretty incredible in my books! Wishing you endless days of all that makes you smile... xoxo
I don't normally post on the weekend but I couldn't pass this one by from a shoot yesterday...
I love the softness... the simplicity, yet complexity of this image. It feels like Fall and love and beauty... a moment of magic.
Alana, you are so very lovely. I can't wait to post the rest!
