Ashely and I have known each other for eons! We used to play baseball together, went to high school together, and have been longtime friends. When she asked me to shoot her maternity I was thrilled! She and Tom are high school sweethearts, and it made their session a breeze! Although the little bun was a little mobile during their shoot, Ashely too...

Kevin & Karina are delightful in every way. Karina is a genuinely beautiful woman, her smile lights up the room! Kevin is a character, always looking for the next laugh to gift to someone or a word of encouragement to share. We had such an amazing time with their engagement session, we could hardly wait to spend more time with them on their wedding...

We had the pleasure of shooting Phil & Daylene's engagement session at the Heather Marina (in Vancouver) & on the water! We met their dogs, Korbin & Kaylee, and spent part of the afternoon sailing! It. Was. Magic! Daylene took so much care with the details, we loved the nautical colour palate! She made the engagement session a dream! After spending...

We have always thought Shack Island was neat. The colours, the history, the privacy. So we pitched a canoe, campfire & s'mores to David & Amanda for their engagement session, on Shack Island...Amanda loved it. David wasn't to impressed...he has a love affair with kayaks, NOT canoes. But how romantic is canoodling a kayak? Really? Exactly. While k...

You'll probably remember this gorgeous couple, Dylan & Alyx, from their engagement session. We loved every photo from their barnyard & road bike shoot, so when their wedding day finally arrived, we were stoked to say the least!!! Instead of the road bikes & old barns, they treated us to a private backyard ceremony, then found us a beach with boat h...

Cute. Adorable. Cozy...just a few of the words that come to mind when we think about Bryan & Lauren. We spent the evening riding along the boardwalk at Parksville Beach for Bryan & Lauren's session, they were the perfect pair for some cruisin'!! They were game to try just about anything we asked, and as a result we got some gorgeous photos with bic...

Matt & Jenn's backyard nuptials kicked off an incredible summer of Love! But we didn't kick it off in the usual way, it all started with a first look before the ceremony! Their next door neighbours were kind enough to let us use their private garden for Matt & Jenn's first look, and it was perfect! To keep up with the gorgeous settings, we took the...

Yaletown engagement? Brix? Roundhouse? YES PLEASE! We were so excited when Kyle & Cecilia contacted us to book their wedding & engagement! They live in a gorgeous, uptown condo in the heart of Yaletown - so we figured what better place to shoot their session than in their own neighbourhood! If you haven't been there yet, Yaletown is full of all sor...

When we met Francois & Ilene - we knew it was a match made in heaven! Ilene & I (Courtney) shared so many of the same qualities, that I knew shooting their wedding would be a complete blast;D! Their engagement session was so much fun, putting them into wedding attire would be off the charts! Ilene was absolutely stunning, and Francois looked as han...

Kyle & Katie are absolutely adorable! They were incredibly natural on camera and so much fun to spend the day with! They contacted us looking for someone to both witness & capture their intimate elopement ceremony, and we jumped at the chance! The night before we met up with Kyle & Katie at the Longwood Brew Pub and it was like we were all old frie...

Did someone say cake? There are so many things we look forward to when shooting wedding days...one of them happens to be wedding CAKE! A little while back, Steve and I hit the sweet streets to taste the best cake on the island & and find out a little more about the master bakers behind Coastal Cake Company! Somebody had to do it, after all, how wou...

We took these two to a historic landmark for part of their session and the lake for the rest! Nanaimo has a history of mining, and there's still some of the tipple, among other neat things (the tipple carried the coal up and dumped it for collection)! Its buried in a gorgeous forest with with all sorts of neat shambles along the path - throw in a g...

Its getting to be that time of year when the light shines late into the evening, the breeze smells sweeter, and our island turns into a warm paradise! Days get lazy, and we roll out the engagement sessions! We spent a Monday evening a couple weeks back relaxing with Dylan & Alyx at an old farm on the outskirts of town. They rocked classic on the fa...

There's a few places we have yet to discover in Nanaimo, thanks to Matt & Jen...there is one less! We shot their engagement session in a ravine off the side of the road, and you would have never guessed it in passing! It doesn't sound all that glamorous, but we were blown away! If you've ever seen the movie " Fern Gully ", then you know where I'm g...

Here's a question: Would you rather dip one toe in at a time over the course of three hours and be shocked every time with how cold it is, OR would you prefer to dive right in and be done with it? What does this have to do with an engagement session? LOTS! We've heard it often that one or both in a couple is not very photogenic, or that they sim...
