Oh hey, I forgot to finish writing this blog post from this February elopement. Janet and Jerry booked me five days before their wedding. They planned it pretty quickly because they wanted to get married while Jerry’s parents were in Canada, so they had a small wedding with both of their immediate families. As we […]

Ryan and Chisu are Married
Ryan and Chisu had a small ceremony at St. Ann’s Academy in Victoria, with only three guests in attendance, though they were so lively, it felt like more! They set up a tablet to record the ceremony so that Chisu’s family could see it from afar. Chisu was so giggly during the ceremony, I couldn’t […]
Michelle and Kurt are Married
Michelle and Kurt came to Victoria to get married in a simple ceremony with only her daughter’s family in attendance. This was my first ever church elopement and it was surprisingly relaxed and fun. After, we took a limo ride to Government House for some portraits. The limo ride with Michelle’s granddaughter was rather adorable, […]
Cora and Joshua are Married
I was really looking forward to Cora and Joshua’s wedding, after their fun engagement session at Legends Comics and Books. They added a lot of personal details to their wedding, including some geeky comic book themed touches for Joshua, while still keeping things classy to work with the style of the Empress Hotel. Like during […]
Kristine and Travis are Married
I was so excited to hear from Kristine about her plans to marry Travis in Victoria this past April. I met them both back in March of 2012 when they were in town for Travis’s brother Jonathan’s wedding to Alexandria. Jonathan and Alex were the last people I expected to get a referral from, since […]
Leanne and Arun are Married
Leanne and Arun got married at St. Ann’s chapel in early January. Before the wedding, they met for a first look at Beacon Hill Park, overlooking the ocean. The day was surprisingly sunny, and Arun (who lives in England) was really excited to get his photo taken wearing sunglasses in January. That’s Victoria weather for […]
Joan and Marcel are Married
Joan and Marcel got married in early August. It was a really fun day and everything looked beautiful because of Joan’s impeccable taste. We started out at the Victoria Regent Hotel in a giant suite with great harbour views. The limo broke down on the way to pick up the bride, but she kept her […]
Marla and Scott are Married
Marla and Scott got married at St. Ann’s Chapel, with a reception at the Union Club, back in May. In her initial e-mail to me, Marla said “The idea is to have a wedding that is elegant but relaxed, with lots of family love and some fun on the dance floor (the can can and […]
St. Ann’s Wedding
I loved this August wedding at St. Ann’s because it was so different and the bride may just be the cutest person on Earth. The entire wedding, from walking down the aisle to the bride and groom’s exit, lasted about four and a half hours. Most wedding days are much longer, so it was refreshing […]
Jeff and Ellicia are Married
Jeff and Ellicia came from Toronto to get married in Victoria, where Ellicia’s family lives. We’d chatted over Skype a few times before the wedding, which definitely made me feel like I knew them more than I usually do with out-of-town clients. They turned out to be just as fun and friendly as I thought […]
