Karoline & Mauro | Brock House Wedding

There are so many incredible things I could say about Karoline & Mauro ( such as how much fun they are, what a beautiful love they share, what wonderful friends and family they have)... but the one thing that really stands out to me is the way they celebrate life. They both have a 'Joie De Vivre'... and it is so lovely to be around. 

Their wedding day was perfect. Beautiful blue skies and a light breeze were the perfect backdrop for the always stunning Brock House. Their personalities were injected into all the beautiful details, including one of the best 'first dances' I've ever seen.

Karoline and Mauro, it was truly an honour to share in this day. You are blessed in love and blessed in life... wishing you a lifetime of 'first dances'. Much love, xoxo.

Thank you Filosophi for making the day so wonderful! 

Kori & Keegan | married

Sometimes it's not about the flowers or the details or the even the weather... sometimes it's just about the love. And this was a beautiful love. After 9 years, Kori and Keegan were able to make if official. Surrounded by friends and family, this was one of the most beautifully intimate ceremonies I've ever witnessed. I love my job.

Jessica & Nic | Wedding Portraits

I can't begin to express how much I love these photos. Every now and then everything aligns... a fabulous location, amazing lighting, incredible clients... and most importantly, a "space" to create anything we want. Sometimes the constraints of a wedding day don't allow for all these variables to come together, so to me, this was a very special experience.

Plus, any bride who gets excited about holding antlers on her head is pretty darn cool.  

Thanks Jess and Nick for being so amazing and just trusting... it means so much! Wishing you endless love and laughter! xoxo

Kessewa & Beau | Wedding

Rowena's Inn/Pretty Estates is one of my favorite outdoor wedding venues in Vancouver. It never fails to be a spectacular day. Throw in an amazing couple and an intimate wedding brimming with love and it gets even better. Kess and Beau, thank for letting me share in this incredible day. Your love is beautiful. xoxo

Farah & Aleem | Wedding

It was a day of sun amidst many many rainy ones that helped make this a perfect day for Farah & Aleem. The Ismaili Ceremony was at the iconic Jamatkhana in Burnaby with the reception at The Pinnacle Hotel at The Pier.   So many beautiful details from the groomsmen's bow ties and pocket squares from Lanvin Paris, to the bright pop of color of the bridesmaid dresses to the decadent florals by Granville Island Florist. Farah & Aleem did an amazing job planning and designing this incredible day! It was such an honor to be a part of it... thank you! Wishing you much love and laughter for many years to come... xoxo

Simone & Stephen | Wedding

Upon meeting Simone & Stephen, I knew this was not going to be a typical wedding. Not only are they so much fun to be around (their energy is absolutely infectious), they let me in on some of their ideas for their big day. Both living in Los Angeles and working in the entertainment industry, they wanted to inject some Hollywood flare... and that they did! From having Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers walk down the aisle, to great live Frank Sinatra-esque singing acts throughout the evening. Simone & Stephen had so many beautiful details that were uniquely their own... it was truly a beautiful day!
