What an honour it was being asked to be Bailey and Rick’s wedding and engagement photographer in Chilliwack, BC. I have known Bailey for 20 years. Yes, since we were 5 years old! It was such a surprise to hear from Bailey, since we hadn’t seen or spoken to each other in about 5 years, that she was newly engaged and looking for photographers and had seen my work. After a few chats, we realized we were a perfect fit, and booked! We set aside a day when I came home for the holidays at Christmas, to shoot their engagement session!

This was Bailey and Rick’s first photo shoot together and I think they nailed it! It was a beautiful 6 degrees, ( SO WARM ), and we headed down to the vedder river park for some photos with the two of them and their puppies! It was so surreal seeing someone I grew up with, now a grown up with a fiance and two fur babies. We played catch up and took a stroll through the park and down memory lane. They were both such naturals in front of the camera, and so evidently in love with each other in every frame. These two are definitely meant to be and I couldn’t be happier to see an old friend find her forever!

I remember meeting on our first day in kindergarten, one of the “first” big days in our lives.  Now I get to experience another first and another big day. I get to see her walking down the aisle marrying the love of her life. There definitely won’t be a dry eye behind this lens, let me tell you! So now I am counting down the days till their wedding in July in beautiful British Columbia.

Stephanie and Jamie sitting in a tree… K-I-S-S-I-N-G… Seriously this is what comes to my head when I look at these two. Though they’ve been together for an incredibly long time, their love feels so young and so fresh, like teenagers falling in love. Every look, I swear, these two fall more in love with each other.

I absolutely loved shooting these two sassy babes. Since both of them have modeling numerous times in front of the camera, I didn’t really have to direct them at all. I simply said…interact with each other. This is what they gave me. I couldn’t snap my camera fast enough to capture all those amazing and intimate moments they shared. It’s couple’s like this that make my “job” so enjoyable and so easy. We hit up Odell park here in Fredericton and the leaves were absolutely perfect. Thank you fall!! Still one of my favourite times of the year to shoot. Oh the colours!  I couldn’t have been more happy with this session and I can’t wait to work with them again!

Stephanie and Mike came up from Moncton last month for some engagement photos at a few spots around Fredericton I had found. The day was a warm one, but luckily we had a calm breeze so that we didn’t have to sweat our faces off!

The engagement photos turned out so much better than I could have ever imagined! Everything was utter perfection! The couple, the colours, the locations, and my amazing assistant, ( Kya ). I wish they could come up here every weekend so I could shoot them! I really do love willow trees for the romantic feel they give off in each photo. Though I have to say in every single photo, you can see the love they share for each other. Stephanie and Mike’s love story is truly one for the movies and I cannot wait to be there to help create those memories at their wedding this fall!

Thank you both for an awesome day shooting! I love being able to capture your love and how friggin cute you two are together!

Another beautiful engagement session is here! Catherine and Donny will be getting married at the end of August this year and I can’t wait for their wedding after their shoot last week! Though we had stifling hot, humid weather, a sudden 5 minute downpour, and our original shooting location was completely flooded, we definitely made the best of things and found some gorgeous nature spots to shoot at around Fredericton.

As I have said before in my past posts, I love redheads! How could I not? Look at those colours! Doesn’t her hair just pop? The green, the red, and the blue… I seriously fell in love with these. Catherine and Donny brought their beautiful husky with them for a few shots and they turned out great! Catherine has such an infectious smile, every time I edited a new photos of her smiling or laughing, I would catch myself smiling or laughing! Donny clearly is head over heels with her, you can see it in his eyes in every single photo. Being able to capture those little moments, those quick kisses, and most importantly, a couple’s love, is why I love what I do. Another couple making it easy for me… Thank you so much for the fun experience you two!

I am so excited to be able to be a part of their wedding this summer. I am so eagerly looking forward to it!

For starters…I love this session. The couple, the colours, the beautiful baby, the ring… what is not to love? I seriously can’t get enough. Amanda and Blair are such an gorgeous couple with one handsome baby boy! They are planning a small wedding in August and I can’t wait to be a part of their special day. I always offer an engagement shoot with every wedding package because I like to get to know the couple before we shoot and so we can both have an opportunity to get comfortable with each other. From these photos, I can certainly tell they are comfortable and I definitely was too!

The weather had been iffy for a couple weeks so we decided to bump our session up a few days… Then a couple hours before our scheduled time, we decided to go even a little earlier because of the pending forecast. The wind was picking up and the clouds were low, but we got through our entire shoot with no rain! As soon as I got home, however, the downpour came! Lucky us!

The love for each other and their son in these photos is evident. I am so lucky to keep getting such amazing clients like these. August can’t come soon enough to capture the big day for this special little family!
