Alysha + Ryan // Intimate Wedding at Pitt Lake

I first met Alysha and Ryan when Ryan hired me to capture his proposal to Alysha (during a photo session with their pup!). These two wanted an intimate ceremony overlooking Pitt Lake, so they invited a handful of friends and family to the Pitt Meadows dykes. We lucked out with dry weather, but the sun played peekaboo behind the clouds for the entire ceremony. Sometimes they were illuminated in brilliant sun, and other times the light was moody and stormy. It made for a fun mix of mood throughout their photos. We had a ton of fun taking their photos with a classic car (until the battery died- but thankfully I always have jumped cables!) before heading to Chameleon Restaurant in Maple Ridge where everyone sat down for a delicious meal to celebrate. I absolutely love when couples create the wedding day that’s perfect for them, and this one was no exception!

2019 Couples Round-Up!

I recently realized that I haven’t blogged any of my couples work in… years. Though my wedding work is on proud display, my engagement sessions and anniversary sessions have really taken a back seat! So, in order to play catch up, I decided to round up all my faves from my 2019 couples sessions and blog them all together! It was a pretty fun project walking through all of these shoots again. I can’t wait to get back to shooting and capturing people once more!

Leanne + Matt // Intimate Forest Wedding

When Leanne and Matt asked for help planning their intimate wedding, I nearly fainted with excitement. I've been waiting to photograph a small ceremony in one of my favorite spots in Golden Ears for a long time! It was the perfect backdrop to celebrate their union with family and friends. The bride brought hydrangea petals to throw in celebration at the end of the ceremony (and would cleverly decompose and not litter on the gorgeous forest floor). We followed up with an intimate private reception at Stomping Grounds Bistro in Pitt Meadows that was full of good food, meaningful words, and a lot of laughter. PS: How cute is their little flower dog?
