chloe & gary

chloe & gary

love, mexico and tequila.
on the day of their wedding it was supposed to rain.  chloe and i checked out an alternate venue inside the resort which was dull and lifeless to say the least.  she walked with authority to her coordinator and said “no – i want the wedding outside, on the beach, like i [...]


jack & megan

jack & megan

as grey as vancouver can be at times in september, the colorful jack and megan were brighter than fireworks on their wedding at the pinnacle at the pier hotel in north vancouver… and i’m not just talking about jack’s fiery red hair.
jack and megan are red hot in so many ways.  their wedding was blissfully [...]

saving myself the time and energy to try and [...]

kim and jeremy had a wonderful celebration at sparkling hill resort in vernon this past weekend.  but on the big day they skies were daunting – huge black clouds covered the face of the sun and no blue, or orange hues were in sight.  luckily, kim slept on a lock of jeremy’s hair – which [...]
