Tomorrow is Alyssa Kish & Parm’s much awaited wedding day.

Tonight was a lovely opportunity to get these two in front of my camera as we snuck away from their Welcome gathering; I cannot wait for tomorrow to capture these two on their wedding day.

Holly & Aiden on Kodak Gold 200 Film

When you get asked to capture an entire maternity shoot on film lakeside…. There’s no other answer but yes!

This session was an absolute joy to capture. My photography journey began with film; an occasional skipped math class to hide out in the dark room (sorry mum!) to develop and print my own film and images turned into a life long passion.

Of course; as I grew as a photographer film was set aside and became an accompaniment to my digital galleries as an extra when I remembered to snap a few images. With the resurgence of film, I am so excited to continue to offer full film sessions to those who are looking for something a little more raw & authentic.

My favourite line from Holly once the session was done “you’re not going to edit those….right?!”

So very grateful for the trust in capturing these images while these two of you wait patiently for your little one to join you earth side.

Erica & Blake’s wedding at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler was nothing short of spectacular.

There’s something particularly fitting about a Whistler wedding in the summertime; the mountains & colours are bold and bright, the days are long, and everything feels a little more relaxed.

For Erica & Blake, the day was elegant without feeling overly formal. They kept the focus where it belonged; intentionally on the people around them, and on being fully present for the day they had spent so much time planning.

The Fairmont was a perfect location for each portion of the day; from getting ready in their rooms; a ceremony and cocktail hour a top the woodlands terrace to an evening spent celebrating with family and friends (kickstarted by a pre-reception dance party); every part of the day felt intentional without ever feeling overdone.

A few select frames from their wedding day photographed in Whistler.

Your planner is watching the timeline.

I’m watching for the moments you’ll never want to forget.

Your only job?

Be fully present.

Trust the team you’ve chosen. Laugh with your people. Hold your partner’s hand a little longer. Let the day unfold.

The most meaningful photographs aren’t created by perfect poses.

They’re created when you’re free to experience your wedding instead of managing it.

That’s the experience I want every couple to have.

The sweetest family session with L&B; bringing me back to my summer evenings photographing in Pemberton.

So incredibly excited to be photographing their wedding day in a few weeks!

✨a little side note; did you know when you book 9 hours for your wedding day, you receive a complimentary 1 hour session to use as you wish. Engagement, welcome party, bachelor(ette) parties or in this case a beautiful family session.

Some places hold more than memories; they hold the beginning of a family’s story.

When they told me this cabin was built by his grandfather, I knew this wasn’t just another engagement session.

It was a chance to document the place that shaped generations before they begin building one of their own.

Those are the stories worth preserving.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop sharing this session.

I felt my most creative this day - free to try something new. I allowed myself to fail, if a concept didn’t work, I was okay with that and the beauty of that was, it rarely failed because I just let go of the pressure to perform; I didn’t need to be perfect.

I’ve been reflecting lately on how I want to show up as a photographer; truthfully, for a moment I fell into the comparison trap. The idea I had to do what everyone else was doing crept in and I began losing my creativity. The trust & confidence I had in myself to try something new started fading and the anxiety of it all not working out began to take over.

So I took a moment to step back after last year & took a breath (hence why I’ve been a little quiet). I want to show up better, more myself for my clients; because after all they are choosing me for how I see the world & capture it - not because I can copy the latest trend.

I’m so excited for this new season I am finding myself moving towards - or better yet finding my way back to.
