Jeff and Kelly's Wedding Day Preview

Here's one image from Jeff and Kelly's gorgeous wedding.  We couldn't have asked for a better day.  Sun was shining, everyone was super chill and happy, but most importantly, mosquitoes weren't biting yet!  I love this photo.  These two were totally just having a moment and when I showed them the image after on the back of my camera, Kelly said "oh I love it, you can see my ring!"  And what a beautiful ring it is.

  I also want to share with you something that Alex and I had never done before, so Jeff and Kelly agreed to be our "trial couple".  We made them table numbers for their reception to jazz the room up a bit  and give their guests something to look at until the bride and groom arrived.  From what we heard, and saw, everyone loved them, (people were actually taking them home as they left)  Party favors?

This is what they look like up close.

And this is what they looked like in action.

Thanks you two for being so fun and outgoing.  Can't wait to post more.

Sean and Laurie's Wedding

It's been over a year, and I have finally put together Sean and Laurie's blog post.  I have good reason though.  I didn't create this blog until long after their wedding was shot...that's good reason...right?

Sean and Laurie's wedding was very special to Alexander and I as it was the very first wedding we ever shot together.  It was such an experience.  We really figured out what we each do best, and what we should just let the other person do without getting involved too much (eg.  Alex always sets up the lights, and I always take the family photos - always!)  After the wedding, we spent the whole night talking about how awesome it was to work together and what a great job we think we did.  We both had so much energy, we were totally on a high (and overtired) from spending the whole day photographing such an amazing couple.

Sean and Laurie, thank you so much for being our first wedding clients, and I must say, I don't think any dinner at any other wedding has ever compared to yours.  Delicious!

This is one of my favorite photos ever taken at a wedding ( of ours ).  Well done Alex!

We decided last minute to take the photos outside even though it was quite chilly out.  Thank goodness the guys were gentleman and lent the girls their jackets to warm up.

Save the best for last!

Sean and Laurie - thank you so much for sharing your incredibly beautiful, hilarious, delicious, happy day with us - you guys rock!

  

Flowers for Amanda

About three weeks ago, Alex and I took a trip out to Vancouver to see what the photography market was like out there and to have a mini vacation as well.  

We took so many photos and were just blown away by the trees and flowers we saw during our trip.

  

So here I am on a rainy saturday filtering through the images.  Well, they made me think of my best friend Amanda.  She is always talking about how much beauty the world holds even when things seem to be at their worst.  She really does see beauty in everything.  

So Amanda, this is for you.  <3

 It might not be in front of our eyes all the time...but this world really is wonderful.
