Burnaby 'NERD' Wedding - Hennie & Lance

It was a chilly day this past weekend but the sun came out on this beautiful October day. Hennie & Lance planned a beautiful and in their own words 'NERD' wedding. That's right full of their personalities and loves for all things nerdy. One of my personal favourite parts of the day was the marriage officient starting their ceremony with the marriage bit from 'The Princess Bride' - I was recently quoted this movie on the blog and they incorporated it into their ceremony. "Maaaayrrriage.

When I asked Hennie what she was most excited about she said to have Lance's last name. She was excited the whole morning waiting to see Lance at their first look at Marine Park. Lance being a true gentleman brought with him a single red rose to give to his soon to be wifey as a wedding day gift. Her official wedding gift was a titanium watch since Hennie had sensitive skin to metals. What a thoughtful guy!!!! 

I love when couples bring their personality into their big day - it makes it truly one of a kind and very memorable. Hennie and Lance were one of the sweetest couples I have photographed this year and we felt incredibly blessed to meet such an awesome duo. Thanks again for having us there! 

This week Hennie posted the sweetest message on the facebook page and I can't resist posting it - notes like this give me the warm fuzzies! 

Langley Engagement Photographer \\ Chelsea & Jake

I first met Chelsea & Jake at Danielle and Stephen's wedding this past August. Jake was one of Stephen's groomsmen. I had a chance to talk to the two of them at the wedding and was so taken by how they met each other. Verlon and I are hockey fans - so when we heard about how they first met on an NHL chat we thought it was awesome! Now, years later they are engaged and getting married!

Chelsea and Jake were troopers and rain wasn't going to stop their session from happening. Chelsea is an amazing go with the flow kind of girl that I just loved. With the concern of rain about, the two of them didn't care at all they just wanted to spend the afternoon together and celebrate their engagement. Photographing these two was a blast, I spent most of the session laughing as we all had a similar sense of humour. Between Chelsea and I joking around about us small girls and our tall men and watching Chelsea and Jake just let go and have fun with each other - I'm inspired by couples in love.

I feel so blessed to be able to be doing what I feel I am meant to. Photography is my calling and witnessing couples finding their love and entering into marriage is such an honour. Insert quote from 'The Princess Bride' "This is true love - you think this happens every day? "

I had a chance to get to know the two of them better and for that I am thankful for. I truly appreciate meeting couples who are like-minded and passionate. Thank you so much Chelsea & Jake for choosing me.
