Monique & Jeff got married on July 2nd in Queens Park in New Westminster. Monique had written some guest posts on our blog as she was planning her wedding. Check “bride blogger” under categories if you’d like to read the posts. My assistant/second shooter for the day, Laura, and I arrived at the groom’s sister’s house where the boys were getting ready only to find out that they weren’t there. We were there early, so they weren’t expecting us yet. Twenty minutes later they arrived after they finished a round of golf in the morning. The guys always have much more time to have some fun in the morning, while the girls are always up early and taking hours to get ready. Somehow that doesn’t seem fair
After we grabbed some shots of the groom and his groomsmen we went to Hadden House Bed & Breakfast where the girls were preparing for the big day. When we arrived all the bridesmaids were dressed and the room was better organized than I’d ever seen before! Being a perfectionist, Monique had it all planned out into detail and she was right on schedule throughout the day. After a beautiful ceremony in the Rose Garden at Queens Park in New Westminster, we spent some time with them and their wedding party taking photos at the petting zoo and surrounding park. When we had all the photos we needed Monique and Jeff really wanted to spend a couple of minutes alone to enjoy each other’s company before the reception, so that’s what they did. I think it’s important that a couple can have a little bit of quiet time when they want it. A wedding can be quite hectic, but it is good to slow down to soak it all in!
Thank you, Jeff & Monique it was an honour to capture your wedding memories!

I always love to come up with ideas for engagement sessions that really say something about the couple. When Brittany told me that they both loved camping and that there was a campground on the lake that had special memories for them I immediately knew we had to do something with that. It was so fun to hang out with this couple and work with them to create images that really reflect them as a couple.
