You might say their love was deeper than any ocean. Two kindred spirits, bound by a passion that reached the depths of the sea. So naturally, it seemed entirely fitting to capture their story on the beach, while the waves crashed on the shore, like their souls colliding. But what Emily didn’t know was that their souls, although already connected, were about to take a leap into a new chapter with four simple words. With an energy that could be felt for miles, Emily and Tyler took to the outdoors to share their love with Rozalind; a private moment that any person would feel privileged to take part in. Emily had longed to have beautiful photographs of her and Tyler to capture their own little fairytale. Especially considering that they spend much of their time apart; Emily living in New York City attending school to complete her Bachelors of Science, while Tyler resides in Vancouver working for a steel company. Tyler had went to Rozalind to tell her that he planned on proposing to Emily during this photoshoot, but like a proper gentleman, knew to wait until the very end, as to not ruin her makeup when she cried. So through the forest Rozalind followed, carrying the most beautiful secret and capturing pictures of the moments leading up to its undoing. The forecast had called for rain, but it held off, and by the time the couple reached the beach, the clouds made for the perfect light. It not only highlighted every last stitch on Emily’s hand-sewn dress, but also the look on her face as Tyler got down on one knee. Girls dream of this day from a young age and this was no exception. A dream coming true. He asked, and she instantly put both of her hands over her heart, as if subconsciously saying that it was already his entirely. And with the one word answer that guys wait with bated breath to hear, Tyler and Emily’s novel began another chapter. Perhaps they didn’t know that when they met at a Christmas party, they would wind up on a beach on a cloudy day starting a life together. But that is how all great love stories begin; with something as mysterious as the ocean, yet as certain as the tide coming in.

Biggest thanks to ALL the AMAZING vendors and venues who make all this possible!!!
I absolutely LOVE these girls. I have had the pleasure of knowing their family (through my family), and watching the girls grow from babies to beautiful young ladies. We had such a wonderful day shooting out in the brisk weather, and these girls are always full of smiles and tons of laughter! I literally can not take a bad photo of these stunning girls, and I love how their mom looks like a sister in the group (and I’m also in love with their families newest addition, Leia, a rambunctious little frenchie). The best part is that they are all so kind, wonderful and genuine people, and I love the bond that they all have with one another. I can’t wait to continue to watch your family flourish! Love you ladies! xoxo
When I first met Bre + Matt they told me that they were born in the wrong era. It’s one of the many things that I like about the two of them because I also feel as though I was born in the wrong era! They are completely unique, and they both have super rad personalities. I love that they like old cars, guns, and tattoos (Bre’s arm of portraits is one of the most spectacular works of art I’ve ever seen), and they have a Husky and a Pomeranian as pets (I love Pomeranians!). To top it all off, they rented the Tranquille Farm Fresh grounds for us to shoot their engagement photos on so that they would have something a little different than everyone else. You have to love that! I’m also sure you’ll notice that Bre is stunningly beautiful and Matt is so ruggedly handsome – could these two get any better? We spent the afternoon taking photos in front of the old buildings, the corn fields, and the incredible back country of the property that has views, fields, a creek and more! These two give me the feels, and I am so stoked to be a part of their engagement photos and their wedding day! So much love to you both! xo
Ahhhhhhmazing! There are no other words to describe how amazing Kelsey + Mike’s wedding day was. These two are so perfect for each other – they are silly, romantic, beautiful and so wonderful to one another (and they are both hardcore runners + hikers – I found this out when we hiked up a very steep mountain for their engagement shoot!). Kelsey and I have actually known each other since high school so when I realized that she had met her soul mate I was that much more happy for her because I know what an incredible + beautiful person she is! Mike checks off all of the boxes for Kelsey: he is handsome, kind and funny! When he’s around, Kelsey has the biggest smile on her face! The day was completely effortless and perfect! Kelsey and her girls got ready at her mom’s stunning house, and the vibe was relaxed and fun! They had the most spectacularly beautiful summer day, and the sun shone down on both of them throughout the whole day. Kelsey had said that she would love some sunset photos, and we were blessed with the most stunning sunset at the top of Harper Mountain to end the day. Their day was filled with so much emotion and love that it was such an honor to be a part of, and to witness. I love that you two have found one another and am so happy to watch you start your lives together! So much love to you both! xo

Sarah and Tyler are such an absolutely fantastic couple. This is probably because they are such wonderful people as well! Their wedding day was filled with so many personal, hand crafted, amazing touches that you could just feel the love from every single detail of their wedding. Anyone who knows me knows that I love love. I love the way that a couple talks to one another, the way that they look at one another, and the way they are themselves with one another. I have been so lucky to have been a part of so many unbelievable weddings, and Sarah and Tyler’s was no different. The moment Sarah walked in to the ceremony to her favourite song from Pride and Prejudice brought tears to Tyler’s face, and the way he looked at her while their friends sang to the two of them made me tear up as well! He gazed so affectionately and so lovingly at his new bride that it made me so happy for them to have found one another. I love that they were blessed with a beautiful day for their wedding and that the day went off seamlessly! I can’t wait to watch their love continue to grow and I feel so fortunate and grateful to have been a part of their day to capture their love! I wish you two lovebirds all the happiness in the world! xo
