Abbotsford Wedding Photographer | Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church & Eighteen Pastures Golf Course, Mission, BC | Emilia & Andy
I met up with them shortly before they said their wedding vows at the gorgeous Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church in Abbotsford, BC. After the ceremony we headed off to Eighteen Pastures in Mission, BC where we spent the afternoon exploring the grounds by Golf Cart.
When I first met Emilia and Andy for their engagement session earlier this year in Chilliwack, BC they came across as this quite and sweet couple. Never in a million years did I expect to laugh as loud and as hard as I did while photographing their wedding this past Friday afternoon. I met up with them shortly before they said their wedding vows at the gorgeous Bakerview Mennonite Brethren Church in Abbotsford, BC. After the ceremony we headed off to Eighteen Pastures in Mission, BC where we spent the afternoon exploring the grounds by Golf Cart. Had I not been holding on for dear life during our Golf Cart adventures I likely would have taken some video footage, but alas keeping myself and my camera safely in the almost sideways Golf Cart was the priority, trust me though, it was hilarious! Here is a sneak peak of their wedding day.
Emilia was absolutely stunning and Andy couldn’t stop staring at her all day. Their day was filled with so much love AND laughter and I couldn’t have imagined a better day for them to celebrate their love and devotion for each other. Congratulations Emilia and Andy!
Surrey Wedding Photographer | Cloverdale CR Church and Redwood Forest| David + Julianna
David and Julianna's wedding day started with threats of an epic rain storm but instead we were greeted with sunshine and the most epic storm clouds. After photographing Julianna getting ready with her closest friends and family we arrived at the Cloverdale Reformed Church for a first look with David and their beautiful and heartfelt wedding ceremony.
Afterwards we loaded up the RV and headed to Redwod Park in Surrey, BC to capture David and Julianna’s love for each other and some crazy shenanigans with their wedding party! I haven’t laughed that hard during wedding party photos in a long time, especially when the bridesmaids dropped the groom!
… and when your heart knows… it knows. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness.
Chilliwack Wedding Photographer | The Falls Golf Course | Kandice + Tyler | Chilliwack, BC
The Falls Golf Club is gorgeous in itself, but the breath taking views of the Fraser Valley at sunset really cannot be beat!
I adore this little venue. Whether you choose to have an outdoor ceremony on the front lawn or the indoor setting- they are both perfect. The wedding coordinator on staff is phenomenal and my experience is that they go above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is exactly how you envisioned it.
Kandice and Tyler’s wedding was no exception. We had such amazing weather and it truly made me fall in love with Fall weddings all over again. As you all know I adore children, especially at weddings, and their children were no exception! Their toddler stole the show for most of the day, including ALL the golf balls all day long!
The Falls Golf Club is gorgeous in itself, but the breath taking views of the Fraser Valley at sunset really cannot be beat and with Kandice and Tyler’s wedding running late due to an accident on the highway delaying their ceremony we were able to capture the amazing Fall sunset as part of their wedding portrait time.
Chilliwack Wedding Photographer| Robbie & Kristy Wedding Sneak Peak | Secret Garden at Woodbridge Pond
Here in the Canadian Pacific Northwest rain is just a part of our lives and Robbie and Kristy’s wedding at the Secret Garden in Chilliwack, BC was no exception. However, this did not phase these two, or their guests. Robbie and Kristy have been together for years and the emotion that was seen on their wedding day, not only between them but all their friends and family had me in tears through out the day. This my friends is what marrying your best friend looks like.
Here is a sneak peak of their day… Click on the play head on the wedding bouquet!
Fraser Valley Wedding Photographer | Campbell Valley Park Portraits and Romantic Backyard Wedding
A Romantic Backyard Wedding in Aldergrove, BC
When I first met Katelyn and Robert for coffee, almost a year ago now, to discuss their wedding photography vision, I was a ball of nerves but honestly I had zero reason to be! These two are the kindest most laid back couple ever and their main goal was for the guests to feel comfortable and have fun! We had such an amazing time at their engagement session earlier this Spring in the gorgeous Cherry Blossoms at Queen Elizabeth Park, just like Robert’s parents did many years ago, that I knew their wedding day would be nothing short of perfect and exactly as they had described.
Truly there is really no place like home. From your own childhood backyard, to your grandparents to your Great Uncle Joe, planning a backyard wedding is an amazing idea!
Top 5 Benefits to having a Backyard Wedding:
Your Fur Babies can Attend- no hassle, no deposits, no travel and no babysitter needed!
Dates are Flexible- complete and utter freedom when booking and no venue deposit is needed.
Guest List- you can have as few of your closest friends and family, or invite your entire graduating class- just remember though, unless your parent’s backyard is the size of a couple football fields, space may be an issue!
Finances- while saving on venue costs don’t forget to have a back up rain plan and rent a large tent to host all your guests, you don’t want to have to delegate out who is going to hold hold the umbrella over grandma while she eats her dinner.
All the Feels- Simply getting ready and saying I do’s to the person of your dreams in the same back yard you played in as a child just can’t be beat. Everyone always seems to have so much fun at backyard weddings- and there truly is no place like home.
When I met up with Katelyn the morning of her wedding she was so relaxed and confident- there was zero nerves- just confidence about marrying the love of her life. We quickly whisked off to Campbell Valley Park for her and Robert’s first look and it took everything in my power to not start crying at Robert’s reaction to seeing Katelyn for the first time on their wedding day. These two are so in love.
Robert’s parents home was both the ceremony and reception location and the amount of work they put into their property to make it absolutely perfect for this love filled day, did not go unnoticed. Can you believe that their parents did all the decor themselves?! Robert’s mom grew all the flowers in their backyard and Katelyn’s mom put together all the Bouquets for the day! Robert and Katelyn had Growlers designed as wedding favours and brewed all the beer for the day. The whole day was filled with love and laughter surrounded by family and friends- exactly as Robert and Katelyn wanted.
Congratulations Robert and Katelyn!
