Linda and I first met when I photographer her sister’s wedding in 2021. Since then, she’s become a loyal client and an even better friend. Linda is quite possibly the only other person on earth as obsessed with dogs as I am, and it has created a deep bond between us. I was so thrilled when she and Cody decided to hire me as their wedding photographer. These two are kind, classy, and have a love that is timeless. They decided to privately exchange vows before the ceremony (and played ‘rock, paper, scissors’ to see who would go first). It was a very intimate and meaningful addition to their beautiful wedding day. Thankfully, with Swaneset so close to the gorgeous Pitt River, we were able to sneak away from the reception for some dreamy blue-hour photos before dancing the night away.

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!
