Katelyn & Jesse’s Wedding at the beach {Youbou Wedding Photographer}

Posted in Weddings

Katelyn and Jesse live with their super cute 1.5 year old son close to Sparwood, but since there’s no ocean nowhere near the Alberta border they decided to have a destination wedding in Port Renfrew. Jan had done the drive a couple of times, but I hadn’t, so it was great to do a little sight-seeing. One thing I didn’t expect was to have no cell phone reception from the moment you leave Lake Cowichan. It seems so weird that you come to depend on that little thing so much, but it’s true. Well, we didn’t really need it anyway, but it still felt kinda strange
Their ceremony was beautiful. It was on a sandy beach right on the ocean and the weather couldn’t have been more beautiful. I love it when a couple writes their own vows. Jesse told Katie I’m very lucky to have you as part of my life. You’re my best friend… You asked me once how much I loved you. I told you 3.14, because it’s never-ending. She told him in her vows: After all these years you still give me butterflies. What a romantic couple!
Before driving back to Youbou for their reception, we spend quite a bit of time with them and their fun wedding party on the beach for photos. I love shooting on the beach; I’m so glad we live so close to the ocean! Their ceremony was at the Youbou Community Hall and Katie had done a great job decorating the place with paper lanterns, and I also loved the peacock feathers they used as part of their decorations.
Thanks so much, Katie and Jesse, for letting us be part of your day. You guys are a great couple and wonderful parents, and you’re blessed with such a happy little man!

Wedding Rebecca & Josh at The Beach Club {Parksville Wedding Photographer}

Posted in Weddings

When we arrived at The Beach Club Resort, Rebecca was nearly ready to get dressed. Being a physical education teacher, she didn’t wear heels, but very comfortable Adidas flats, as you’ll see in the photos below. However, she did wear a gorgeous white gown, with a beautiful train. Both Josh and Rebecca are big into sports; for their honeymoon they are travelling to the East Coast of the States and in the speeches their trip was referred to as a “baseball honeymoon”. Apparently, Josh didn’t have to do much convincing, as Rebecca just as much wanted to do this as he did.
After a short and sweet ceremony we went off to Paradise Mini Golf for some fun shots, but since it was really crowded (I guess with the overcast skies people didn’t want to be on the beach), we decided to start at our second photo location first. When we were checking out Rathtrevor Beach in the morning, I was walking around with goosebumps from the cold wind. Thankfully, when we came back for photos the temperature was much more comfortable, and the overcast sky provided the perfect light. The tide was coming in and that meant we sometimes had to literally outrun the water. With the shallow beach, the water comes in really quickly. We were really excited to shoot at this beautiful location though; I think these are definitely some of my all-time favourites!
Rebecca & Josh, it was so great to capture your wedding memories for you, and we hope you’re having a blast on your honeymoon! Enjoy these few weeks that you can spend together before the craziness of work starts again!

Wedding Fay & Gregor {Nanaimo Wedding Photographer}

Posted in Weddings

The night before the wedding she didn’t go to bed until 4am. But when my second shooter Deanna and I arrived at the B&B in the morning Fay seemed very calm. Apparently this bride likes to leave things to the last-minute, but I don’t think there is much that will make her feel stressed. Good thing she doesn’t mind staying up lateHaving gotten to know Fay a little I didn’t expect her to be stressed on her wedding day, and that turned out to be quite accurate. I believe the father of the bride was more anxious to get her to the church in time, than the bride herself.
Both Fay and Gregor are from a German background and all of his family lives in Germany, so part of the church service was in both English and German. I especially loved the “altar of gratitude”, where their guests would leave a rock from their part of the country/world, before taking part in communion. When I first spoke with Fay about her wedding she told me how the wedding was about expressing their thankfulness to God and their friends and family. I love their warmth and realness. Their thankfulness was so evident throughout the day. These two are truly loved by many and I can see why.
Fay & Gregor I absolutely loved capturing your wedding day so you can forever treasure these memories. I want to say congratulations again and I cannot wait to hear where life takes you!
