Engagement: Leah + John

Here's some photos from an engagement that happened in.....2010! Wow, 2010 is SUCH a long time ago ;)

Anyhow, Leah and John are getting married this coming May.  Super excited for their wedding!  For the engagement photos, we chose this one sunday and were hoping for good weather....and didn't quite expect that it would be SNOWY weather!  It was indefinitely cold, but made for some lovely photos (I think ;)

Thanks so much for trudging through the snow with me Leah and John!  Looking forward to your wedding and I hope you like the photos ;)

Hello beautiful light.......

Hello beautiful light reflecting off the pond.... ;)

It was just about this time that I realized we were standing on a frozen swamp, and my boots proceeded to crack right through the ice until I was above my ankles in freezing water!  Mwahahah!  It was actually pretty funny ;)

But I won't end there....here's one more to show you, yes, more of the lighting I got to work with...sigh ;)

Oh my Heavens!!

Too much to Blog!!!

Alright, I now have all of the following to post.....I suck at blogging..... ;)

Ninja Children (RE: more photos from Cambodia ;)  I think I'm just gonna do sporadic random posts from my trip.....too many photos and FAR too many thoughts going through my head ;)  But seriously, check out their moves!

Engagement: Leah and John ;)

Wedding: Nicole and Alejandro (they're on their honey moon as I speak (er, write ;)

Soon....soon I will post ;)

Engagement: Kerissa + Dan ;)

Hello all!  I'm trying to plow out some posts quick.....cause I've got some family photos tomorrow with another awesome family (with three cute little blondes that are likely gonna run circles around me...HAHA ;)

Anyhow, here's engagement photos that were taken *cough* a long time ago at Granville Island.  Kerissa and Dan actually got married last weekend.  I was in the bridal party, and YES, she chose fantastic dresses for us!   I've included a picture at the end of me and another of the bridesmaids :)

Thanks Kerissa and Dan for letting me a part of your wedding!  It was a beautiful day and I hope and pray for the best for the two of you in the years to come :)  Blessings!!

Kerissa, you might hate me for posting the next one, but I think you look spectacular!  And I'm positive no one will disagree with me, what with those blue eyes and all ;)

And here's the wicked dresses.  Yes....WICKED :)  You could tie them around a ka-jillion ways....helpful when you have some really tall, some really short and some very pregnant people in the bridal party.  HAHA!  Anyhow, Kerissa found them here.  Indefinitely recommended ;)

Aaahhhhhh.....Days off!

So I'm trying to think of something really witty and cool and funny to open this post with.....and I have now sat here staring at the wall for a SOLID 10 minutes....and I've got nothing..... Blach!

Anyhow. Here's some things I'm excited about:

1) The Fall! The cool air is kinda warming my heart right now....and I now get to pull out all of the scarves that have been hibernating throughout the spring and summer.....

2) The end of october because... I will be going to visit family in Cambodia! Yes....cambodia....I am SO EXCITED ;) I've been so often to Uganda and I'm pumped to go somewhere new (for now ;) AND, I'm going to take a ka-jillion photos and then I'm gonna come home and I'm gonna spend a ka-jillion hours looking through and editing them all ;) I dream BIG!

3) Next weekend....because a lovely friend of mine is getting married and I get to be a bridesmaid (and might I add that the dresses are spectacular ;)

And one more thing I'm excited about? The following photos..... More to come!

Wedding details from a lovely friends wedding.....


Engagement photos (it's THEIR wedding next weekend....which means that she has incredible taste in choosing bridesmaids dresses ;)


Family photos including the most adorable baby on planet earth (and a couple pretty awesome and relaxed parents as well ;)



Have an awesome night!!

Engagement: Heather + Joe

I was able to meet up with Heather and Joe for engagement photos a few weeks ago in Fort Langley. I got to the coffee shop early to look at photos etc. etc....just a little last minute inspiration!

Well! Shortly after getting there, I realized that the coffee shop didn't have internet OR working outlets to plug in my laptop. Needless to say I freaked out a bit ;) Entirely stressed actually. In school, I was always the one with my face in the textbook right up until the big test....well, I'm the same with taking pictures...I rely a lot on that last minute stuff!

Anyhow, that said, I'm amazed at how much peace God gives me at times (when it's truly needed). Heather and Joe were awesome, they left all the posing and direction up to me and I was able to try some new things. I appreciate (SO MUCH) those who have trusted me with taking their picture. It's entirely encouraging and I walked away from the afternoon with Philippians 4:6&7 in my mind...

'do not be anxious about anything.....peace of God....transcends understanding'

Those words ended off a surprisingly good day.

Thanks so much Heather and Joe!! So nice to spend some time with you (and meet Joe finally)....excited for your wedding in May :)

Here's some photos ;)

Engagement: Rae + Tyler

Yup! I got a chance to take some engagement photos ;) As I've been stuck taking FAR TOO MANY pictures of in-animate objects for my photography class, this particular opportunity was VERY EXCITING! ;)

Needless to say, Rae and Tyler are going to be married this coming July. I think that they're going to make a great 'Mr & Mrs' and I'm most definitely excited for the wedding.....I will be sportin' a pretty green bridesmaids dress for the occasion :)

I planned on putting only a FEW pictures up (like 5 or something).....but I had trouble choosing. The first photo is my favorite of the bunch, but there are a smattering of favorite's amongst the rest...... Enjoy!
