She does this adorably cute scrunchy face when she is settling into his arms, comfortable and secure. She looks up at him sheepishly with butterflies still in her tummy after all these years and makes the face. He grabs her and plays with her in his arms - smiling that he can too be comfortable and silly with his girl.

Angie is really good friends with my sister in law - Nicky and was a bridesmaid at her wedding. She told me it's hard to get a great photo of her (mission, accomplished in Meixco at Ric & Nicky's wedding). And then Brad & Angie both tell me - "just so you know we're terrible in front of the camera, we don't photograph well"....

Yup. uh, huh. LIARS! Angie and Brad are naturals in front of the camera for those beautifully canid playful moments of real genuine smiles and laughs. They are the ideal couple to photograph because they know how to let loose and 'play'. When you feel comfortable with your photographer, as a couple it will be so much easier for you to let loose and play.

So go on, and go wrestle your spouse on the couch, kiss them all over their cheeks, steal a piece of their cake, give them a tap on the rear, pick her up when she's washing the dishes - please just never forget to 'play'.

Jamie and David came from California for their destination wedding in beautiful Victoria, BC. With family and friends they said their I do's in the Palm Court at the Fairmont Empress due to an early morning rain. But we enjoyed the sunshine in the Rose Garden where their ceremony was to take place later that evening. The sun came out to make an afternoon appearance for their formal portraits.

We had the pleasure of working with David's sister Brianne who was a fantastic co-ordinator to assist them. The fairmont co-ordinator Sandra was amazing and we also had a fun time working with our favourite videographers Erin & Mac from Hello Tomorrow (also from Langley!).

Getting to know Jamie & David via Skype and their last visit for their engagement session has been an absolute pleasure. From our talks about love for wine, peanut brittle and architecture we made such an amazing connection with this couple. I'm so very excited for the two of them as they start their new journey together.

Hope your having a fantastic time on your honeymoon at the Fairmont in the Philippines!!!
