Emily & Mark | Pitt Lake Engagement Session

We are so excited to be photographing Emily and Mark's wedding next May.  Gary and I taught Emily years ago so it's always so fun to reconnect with past students and see what they're doing and who they are going to be marrying!  Mark wasn't so sure about photos but I dare say he kind of enjoyed himself!  Pitt Lake is gorgeous.  Pitt Lake on a cloudy evening with the sun peeking out behind the clouds? Even better.  These two are so sweet together and you can see during a session how a couple communicates.  These two bounce ideas off of each other and work really well as a team (while sharing a lot of smiles between themselves!).

We did change the session date due to the weather and it ended up working so well for all of us!  Mark, it was great to meet you, and Emily, so great to see you again.  Gary and I are looking forward to your wedding.  Enjoy.

Leanne & Derek | Fort Langley Wedding Photos

The days leading up to Leanne and Derek's wedding suggested there would be a lot of rain and possibly thundershowers.  However, it could not have been more beautiful!!  It just goes to show you that there's no point in stressing about it because BC weather changes hourly.  Gary and I had an outdoor ceremony for our wedding 8 years ago and a very terrible back up plan in case of rain so I know the stress that can come with weather on your wedding day:)  

Leanne and Derek are awesome. I feel like I say this so often, but wow, we are so fortunate to have such amazing brides and grooms to share the day with.   Gary and I know both of their families through teaching them back in the day so that always adds an extra awesome dimension to it all.   Derek and Leanne are neighbours and have been their whole lives.  Isn't that awesome?    While the girls were getting ready, we could peek across the street and see Derek and the guys getting ready.  It is so special that they have such a history and just know each other's families so well.

Without further ado, here is some of their day...

{They actually had their `First Look' and portraits taken before the ceremony.  Photos were taken in the field at the entrance to Bedford Landing and then in Fort Langley.}

Derek and Leanne, thank you for having us be a part of your big day.  We loved it!
Love, Louise and Gary
