Vivian + Doug | Engagement

Vivian and Doug threw down the guantlet for me with their engagement session – they wanted me to brainstorm a location I’ve always wanted to shoot but never had the chance to and we’d try something completely new and different. Am I ever glad they did! The result was SO much fun to shoot :)


Vivian and Doug – I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun I had on your session! I can’t wait for your wedding day! :)

Magalie + Travis | Civil Ceremony

It was a chilly spring morning in Vancouver – Magalie and Travis moved around their still empty apartment making the final preparations for the guests who were about to arrive. Candles were lit and the flowers were out… everything was ready and waiting.

All at once guests started to appear – the door buzzer an excited proclamation of their arrival. Warm and inviting, their apartment welcomed close friends to a very private and personal moment in their lives. In the middle of everyone Magalie and Travis stood, surrounded by the love of those closest to them. Today, for the first of two times, they were getting married.

I love this moment… when two people turn to each other to recite their vows… it never fails to make me cry

We then took a little walk along the seawall for their portraits… I’m in love with this letter sculpture!

Magalie and Travis, it was such an honour to share this beautiful spring day with you. Your love was incredibly warming on such a cold day! I can’t wait to photograph your official ceremony in May! :)

A huge thank you to Michael Wachniak, who both provided laughter throughout the day and single handedly rocked the second shooting position! He’s seriously the dog’s bonnet. ;)

Surena + Pardeep | Maternity Session

We originally were supposed to shoot Surena and Par’s maternity session the week before, but come the morning of our session date the weather had something to say about our plans. EPIC RAIN!

Well, we rescheduled for the following weekend and I couldn’t have been happier with the weather we were rewarded with! The only thing more beautiful was the way Surena and Par were with each other… makes my heart squeeze looking over their photos again. :)
