Langley Engagement Photography: Ellie & Spencer

While Ellie & Spencer were living out East last year we had a spectacular Skype meeting getting to know each other. I heard about how the two of them had met when Spencer was giving University tours and Ellie met him through her bio lab partner. Spencer asked Ellie for Sushi and since went on many a date to perfect the art of eating with chop sticks. He stole her heart with sushi and a game of bocce. The next adventure these two would conquer would be moving out East so Spencer could finish his masters.

The two chose to do their engagement session in Langley at Campbell Valley Park - the actual location of the proposal. Spencer had an elaborate set up with his mother's antique trunk set up with a photo album, an ipod to play music and the Bible. Spencer read their favourite verse and made Ellie listen to music as she went through the photo album. Ellie played the last track she heard a recording from Spencer telling her all the things he loved about her. She turned around after the track finished and Spencer was down on one knee. 

What a fun engagement session not only was bocce involved but we had fun just getting to know each other even more before their wedding this summer. I feel so blessed that couples like Ellie & Spencer have come into my life and I've had the privilege of being apart of theirs. Thank you.

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
