Elissa & Michael | Deas Island Engagement Session

I am so excited for Elissa and Michael's wedding next May.  I taught Elissa first when she was in grade eight and I loved her class.  It was the year that Gary and I got married and all the girls were so happy for me.  Now I get to be happy for her!   Back then, she was super sweet and hardworking and just had a great heart.  And now, same thing:)   Mike is a few years older than her and he also went to the same school, although, they never even talked all through high school.  I didn't teach Mike but I was one of his coaches in cross country, and let me tell you, there wasn't any coaching I could give him, he was/is an amazing runner.  

Elissa was the maid of honour in her sisters' wedding, and Mike was the best man.  Her sister Adana, and husband-to-be Daniel, thought that they would make a good couple and they were right!  Just over three years later, and a proposal on the baseball field,  here we are. 

Although the forecast was predicting rain, they were super good sports about going for it anyway.  I loved catching up with these two and although like most couples, they were a little nervous about having their photos taken, they were naturals.  Enjoy.
It was reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally raining by these last few shots, but look at them, smiles all around:)  Happy wedding planning you two, it was great to see you again!

Shawna & Scott | Kirkland House Wedding

I met with Shawna and Scott almost a year ago for their engagement session on Granville Island and this past year just flew by! Gary and I were excited to be part of their big day at the Kirkland House in Ladner. Outdoor ceremonies are so fun to photograph and the Kirkland House is a beautiful venue for it!

Shawna and Scott met at Douglas College where they first spent time together practicing how to tape up ankles...apparently Shawna did a better job. The only reason I say that is because they are a bit competitive with each other:)

I met up with the girls at the Coast Tsawwassen Inn while they got ready and waited for the school bus to take them to the ceremony. Did I mention that Shawna and Scott are both teachers?! Here are some pictures from their big day...enjoy!






















{Often couples are unsure of how to incorporate their loved ones that are no longer here on Earth. In Scott's family, the butterfly reminds them of a loved one that had passed away. You can see the butterfly incorporated into their bouquets. Also, as Shawna and Scott walked down the aisle at the end of the ceremony, a butterfly flew alongside them!}








{After taking photos at the Kirkland House, we went to Deas Island for a few more. It was still super hot and sunny but we found a few shady spots!}




{And then it was off to the East Delta Hall for the reception!}





Congratulations Shawna and Scott!! All the best to you as you start a new school year and this new adventure as husband and wife!
