Westwood Plateau Wedding: David & Nicole

With nervous hands, he wanted on the bridge at Westwood Plateau outside the room where they would say their vows in later on that evening. Her dress graced the spiral staircase as she excitedly made her way up to David on the Bridge. All morning Nicole spoke of how she just needed to see David and the moment finally arrived. As she walked onto the floating bridge they embraced each other and eased all anxious and nerves for the day.

Clasping hands together whenever the chance arose, sneaking kisses, and sweet whispers were these two as we wandered the grounds taking photographs in the warm sun. It was an evening ceremony upstairs outlooking the green, mountains and view from the clubhouse. With family and friends crammed together excitedly to witness their vows, they said I do and made sure to greet each and every one of their guests on the way through to their cocktail reception.

A grand entrance that lead to a first dance, cake cut, mingling, laughter and lots of dancing - it was a whirlwind of an evening of celebration. It was evident to see that Nicole & David are surrounded by friends and support. 

One of my favourite highlights aside from the two of them being simply amazing was Nicole's father in his white tuxedo jacket. The two looked timeless and when they danced to Frank Sinatra, I couldn't have imagine a moment more fitting. It was as though they were part of a black and white movie that finally came to colour, a classic scene of the bride dancing with her father.

Special thanks to Nicole & David - many blessings for you both and your marriage. As always it was such an honour to be let into such a personal event in your lives. Thank You.

Venue: Westwood Plateau, Coquitlam - BC

Victoria Baby Photos - Little Victoria Family Photography

D & R contacted me earlier this year to let me know they were expecting a little one and I couldn't have been more thrilled to come and photograph their little family. I loved seeing D & R with their little one, the way they would talk and sooth her was so adorable. I'm really excited to share this session as it is special for me. See my brother is friends with this little one's parents and her father knew me as a kid. It was really amazing to see him being a dad to his little girl and so sweetly. Wishing this family all the best!

Beauty Portrait: Jacalyn

Hotel Georgia in Vancouver, a Rosewood Resort is beautifully opulent. The dark woods embrace you when you enter the grand entrance of the lobby. Stones, golds and dim lighting create warmth and comfort while keeping the glamorous feel. It was the perfect fit for some non-traditional portraits. 

When I think of ways to describe Jacalyn the first words that comes to mind are sophisticated, beauty and eloquent in the suburbs. Not only is this blonde bombshell gorgeous, but she is one of the sweetest women I've met and created a new friendship each other. Not only was she ready for whatever I brought on and has this incredibly intense beauty look but completely softens when she smiles. 

A beauty portrait session is ideal for every women do to at least once. Not only can it boost your self-esteem and confidence but its just plain fun. If your a student, mother, professionals - doesn't matter it's always nice to have photographs of where we've been so we can always look back and appreciate the person that got us to our future. Your children will appreciate such beautiful photographs of their mother. Everyone deserves to see themselves as beautiful and I would love to be able to provide you those photographs.

I'm so incredibly excited to share some of her session photos on the blog. This fashionista has also started a blog of her very own and you can check it out here 'The West Coast Suburbanista' .
