Erin & Scott | Chic West Coast Wedding at Rockwater Resort

This truly was a magical wedding weekend on the Sunshine Coast, made so special by the incredible couple celebrating their marriage, and all the family and friends that came together. Jessica Minnie of Petite Pearl Events did an incredible job bringing all the design elements together to create a chic West Coast Wedding, with the help of Flower Lantern supplying all the gorgeous flowers and bouquets.

So many great details, so many special moments. Erin & Scott, thank you for trusting me with this momentous occasion, it was such an honor to share in this day, and witness a love like yours!

Ashley & Steve | Beautiful Fall Rowing Club Wedding

It's always a risk choosing an October wedding date in Vancouver, but this one paid off. The Fall colors were such a stunning backdrop to this incredibly beautiful day. The great thing about this couple is that even if it was pouring rain, their smiles still would have shone just as bright.

Ashley & Steve, thank you for the wonderful experience of getting to know you this past year, your love and light is such an inspiration. xoxo

I'm always so excited to shoot at what I feel is Vancouver's most beautiful church, the Holy Rosary Cathedral, and Diana & Stephen's wedding did not disappoint. Throw in a fabulous couple, a group of amazing family and friends, and you get a really amazing day.

Diana & Stephen, I was honored to share in this incredibly special day - I have to say that you were one of my most fun and laid-back couples ever, which made this day so enjoyable. Wishing you a lifetime of laughter and bliss! xoxo
