I could lay out all my credentials, how many years I've been shooting and how many weddings I've done, but that's not really going to help you decide if I'm the right photographer for you. First, you need to decide if you like my art. Every photographer has their own style and I try to take it one step further—I develop a style for you. This means no two weddings I shoot will be the same because no two couples I shoot are the same. Second, you need to decide if you'd like me as a honorary guest at your wedding—because that's essentially what I'll be! Obviously it is difficult for you to determine this online, so please don't hesitate to book a consultation. After we talk, I'll email you options that fit your plans, personalized, just for you. Some fun facts about me: I'm writing my fifth novel; knitting is my favorite hobby; I'm Canadian and will never stop using the word 'toque' instead of "winter hat'; my husband (Pete) and I met when we were literally the only two people in a Vancouver pub one afternoon. Authentic, true-to-life, wedding photojournalism with fine-art style for couples who want to enjoy celebrating with their guests and trust that the moments will be documented beautifully. I love the way Mom does up the buttons on your dress, or the way the Best Man helps with cufflinks. I love the little smile the first time your future spouse sees you all dolled up on a first look or walking down the aisle. I love when the flower girl decides the petals are better in her mouth than thrown in the air (yes, this has happened!). I love when Nana/ Oma/ Gigi/ Grandma sheds those tears of happiness! I love vows. OMG do I love hearing people's self-written vows! I love when the ring bearer sticks his fingers in the cake, just to taste the icing, before dinner. I love how there is always both an awkward and a sentimental speech. I love finding angles for the most romantic first dance shot. I love when Aunt B has an extra glass of wine and dances barefoot on the lawn raving about what a great party it is! But beyond all that, I just really love capturing people in love at the beginning of their story. Let's set up a package that you'll be excited about.
