Why on earth would I be up at 4:30 am for a lifestyle session you ask? Good question! Last spring when Dave and Mandy told me they would love to do their engagement photos in the mountains - I was thrilled! In order to hike during morning light, we needed to be en route well before sunrise - which explains my 4:30 am wake up call! We found ourselves on the trail by 7:30, and were greeted by the first dusting of snow this season! After our beautiful hike up Idaho peak, we made a quick stop in Sandon and New Denver for a few more photos before heading home. All in all, a wonderful way to start a Sunday morning. I love my job!

It’s not often I cry on the job - but last Saturday at Shawn and Lisa’s wedding I had a tough time keeping it together! Shawn is one of my favorite people in the world and I can’t begin to tell you how happy it made me to see him marry such a warm and wonderful woman. They had a intimate ceremony surrounded by friends, family and amazing energy at Spring Place Vacation Home near Parksville, BC followed by a cozy reception that evening. We escaped for a little while after the ceremony to the beach for a hang out and a few photos, and then finished the night off with a beautiful meal and ridiculous amount of laughter and dancing. Big thanks to Shawn, Lisa, Halle and their fabulous friends and family for the amazing time!
Enjoy the sneak peak - I’ll have the rest up soon!
