I received the call less than one week out from the wedding that I would be filling in on the big day.   Considering my type A personality I quickly began researching my new clients.   Both Charis and Jason are currently living in California so a meeting was not in the cards….hmmm…. enter google.   To be honest, it is a little scary how much info one can gather with a quick name search in google!  In the case of Charis and Jason, i was unable to uncover their beautiful engagement photos taken by Charis’s sister while on a trip down to California.   Seeing the images made me super excited to shoot the wedding….the camera loved these two!!!!

The day arrived under threat of rainy vancouver weather but much to our enjoyment, the sun shone bright and we were able to make full use of the stunning westwood plateau grounds!   Charis and Jason were such a joy to photograph and i feel extremely honoured to have been a part of their day.

For the past two years, i have done the lookbook images for local company mala imports. Husband and wife team Ashley and Matt are an amazing pair and their jewellery is awesome!!! The other day i found out that they were honoured with a space at the Oscars and so the photos that I shot were up on display. Not gonna lie….. that was cool!!!!

Everything about this wedding was fabulous. Crystal was gorgeous, the weather cooperated, the flowers by Rosalba were perfection and throw in Alicia Keats as the always amazing planner and you have a recipe for an awesome wedding.

i first met with leah and shane via the wonders of skype. With Shane living in seattle and leah trying to plan her wedding traveling between both here and Seattle, a face to face just wasnt in the cards. we crafted a plan for the day and when it arrived, the sun was shining, and everything was beautiful. I think Leah has my most favorite wedding hair of the season! The Stanley Park Pavillion played host to the festivities and everything about the day was about family.

I was once again honored to work with the wonderful people at mala imports for their 2013 lookbook collection. We created the perfect mix of fashion, yoga and surf to compliment their amazing pieces. It really was an awesome day of great jewellery, awesome people and creativity. Cant wait to do it again for the next one!
