These beautiful people are Shar+Digs. Sadly, i was unavailable to photograph their wedding in Mexico last year. So when asked if i would do a Day After Session with them here in Vancouver, i didn't hesitate. We had a short session in one beautiful location. They wanted "soft and romantic portraits".
Um, yes please... those are my favorite kind :)

This gorgeous couple wed in one of the most beautiful spots i've ever had the privilege of photographing! North Arm Farm in Pemberton offered a picturesque backdrop to Shawna and Alhan's ceremony and long table dinner reception. Real Weddings Magazine also took notice and published their wedding in their current Spring/Summer 2014 issue.
Their "first look" was one of the sweetest moments of the day. Before the tears began, Alhan actually gasped out loud when he first saw Shawna. She literally took his breathe away... awe.

On a final note... a submission to the 2013 BC Wedding Awards with images from Shawna and Alhan's wedding landed us a finalist position in the Best Overall Wedding Photography category. I am so flattered and humbled to even be recognized in a category i know is oooozing with province wide talent and skill. So, a big shout out is due to my entire team (Kyoko, Danielle, Ronnie) for all of their creative energy and hard work... all of the time. Thanks also to Shawna and Alhan (and all of our wonderful clients) who invite us into their lives and trust us with such an important role.

The brand new Summer/Fall 2014 issue of Wedluxe Magazine is now available and i was pretty excited to find Sarah and Carson's wedding featured in there amongst many other eye popping events and editorials. Sarah + Carson's gorgeous summer event took place at one of my favorite local indoor venues... The Vancouver Club. A brilliant team of wedding professionals were involved in bringing the couple's vision together and making it happen beautifully and flawlessly. My favorite moment was Sarah's emotional walk down the aisle with her father towards Carson.
I am happy to finally share a few of their images here...

Finally i get around to posting this wedding!
It's not that i have nothing to say about this one-of-a-kind couple or their incredible-out-of-this-world winter Whistler wedding... Actually, i have so much love and respect for them. My heart feels full when i see them together and the best way i know how to say that is with images. So here you go....
Thank you Annie and Simon for inviting me in again and again to be a part of these very special moments in your lives. I absolutely loved every minute of your wedding and was happy to have my camera to hide behind when I cried on more than one occasion.
Love you guys!
