Meg and I met up with Peyton and had a great time. She is doing some early Senior Photos because she is planning on cutting her hair to donate it to Locks of Love. How cool is that? Enjoy the photos!

I was envious of not only the driver above but this amazing lady bug head cover below… Lucky!

So Friday wasn’t too warm, but Saturday everyone was feeling the heat:). It was a gorgeous summer day at a gorgeous venue! Samantha and Jesse got married at D’lightful Celebrations at Tail Skid Meadows. Regardless of the crazy weather, everyone made the best of the day and it turned out awesome! Baker was out in all of it’s glory and party was hoppin late into the night. Enjoy the photos!

Below is Grandpa, who has had some health issues and a stroke recently. It was beautiful seeing him have a dance with his daughters and later with his wife I think I even saw him doing the Lindy-Hop.

Couldn’t help stealing Sam and Jesse for a couple shots with Mt. Baker as beautiful as it was.

Ain’t no party like a Kooy/Taylor party, cause a Kooy/Taylor party don’t… Stop!

This such a beautiful venue and the receptions are held in a small airplane hangar.

Rachel and Austin had a beautiful Friday evening wedding. We started at Lairmont Manor and continued on to their church for the ceremony and reception. We had a great time with everyone involved in this wedding and that was a lot of people:). It was neat to see the church community come together to support and help this couple to have a beautiful wedding day and it turned out to be just that. Congrats to the two of you! Enjoy!

Rachel is a fantastic piano player!

The fellas were pretty excited about having some cool rides the day of the wedding.

I don’t know a whole lot about the tradition but Rachel and Austin had a mini bride and groom and they were adorable!

Happy Birthday (kinda) to our neighbours to the North

Saturday was pretty muggy, but Sunday was a very nice sunny day.  Summer is officially off to a nice start!  Bethany and Ed picked a great location for their outdoor wedding.  If you haven’t seen Evergreen Gardens, it’s exactly as it sounds.  Green and beautiful.  And nothing like a beautiful couple to top off the day!  It was a fun family affair that everyone seemed to really enjoy!  Congrats to you two!

Ed was so fun to watch as he just couldn’t stand not being able to see Bethany for the first time.

Here Ed got a hold the ol’ camera, did some photographing of his own.

I was thinking about it and I don’t do many blogs about the actual wedding ceremony…  So here is a series of Ed and Bethany’s ceremony -

Pretty sweet ride for their getaway.

Meg and I have been pretty excited for this wedding for some time. For many reasons - First is just that we really liked Scott and Allison, they are two fantastic people, second is that it was a referral wedding from another great couple Ann Marie and Seth (It was great to see you both!), third is that we were able to help in picking some of the other vendors involved in the wedding:). We called it the “dream team” and it was fantastic. Okay so I have lot’s of photos to share so I will get to those and continue to share a long the way… Enjoy!

Below we caught Allison and Scott after the ceremony practicing their first dance. I have to admit, they had some great moves!

This was a fun opportunity to get a cool photo of all the guests and a neat image of Hollywood School House.

They had a blast with their first dance. Looks like the practice time above paid off:).

A little fun with the Lensbaby.

Pushing the camera a little bit to get this cool sky during the reception.

A fun group shot of most of us vendors and Allison (Bride). Next to me is Jessica of Bella Musica and on the far right is Kaycee Parker of Parker Events. Not pictured is the florist Laura Straight, the one and only Floralaura. If you are planning a wedding definitely check them all out and of course I know some pretty amazing photographers you could talk to as well:).

If you want to see Meg dance to Footloose - You’ll need to hire Bella Musica and Evantide Photography:).

Okay last story. When I first met with Allison and Scott about photographing their wedding, one of the first things I said to them as a joke was -

“Thank you so much for throwing me a birthday party”

Well they have a good memory and surprised me in front of all of their guests with a personal cake for my birthday and everyone sang to me. Ahh, if I wasn’t 6′3″ I totally would have tried to hide. You two are so awesome and thoughtful, thanks for the super chocolatey cake (Meg and I are still working on it:).

This last week has been a crazy week of engagement, headshots and wedding photos. So I did several blog posts at once so go ahead and check out of the shoots from the last week. It was crazy busy but so much fun!! Thanks everyone!

P.S.  I am having some serious trouble with my email not cooperating so I want to thank you for your patience as I work it out:).

Yesterday I met up with Kylie and Ryan for their engagement session and genuine smiles and laughter were all they could have together. So many times I saw Kylie sneaking glances at Ryan that were deeper than even those you see from people in love. They are getting married on the 5th of July and Ryan just returned from serving our country and he and Kylie are so grateful to be back together after his 7 months of deployment. Although secretly he’s glad to return to a wedding pretty planned for him:). You two were such a joy to work with and we’re so stoked to be a part of your big day!

Meg and I went into this wedding so excited and rejuvenated to get this summer season off to a great start. This wedding marked the first weekend of a string, in which we are photographing at least one per week until November. Jennifer and Feras were so much fun to work with and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off this amazing season of weddings! You two were awesome and I can’t wait to hand off these great images to you. To all the guests who picked up event cards, don’t forget to pre-register so you’ll know when the event is released!
