Aside from everything else I love about being a photographer, wanna know my favourite part of being a wedding photographer? It’s the clients that turn into friends. Almost six years ago, Bradley & Jill entrusted me with their engagement photos in Leesburg, VA and then their wedding photos in New York State. Four-ish years ago we did an anniversary-ish session. Somwhere along the way, Bradley started his own photography pursuit, they guest posted on my blog about how to take better iPhone photos, and this summer they came to explore the PNW!
Bradley assisted me at Chloe & Christan’s Point Roberts Wedding, I wore them out trying to see all my favorite corners of the Lower Mainland (sorry, guys! there’s just too much to see!), and I got to photograph their cozy love at Alouette Lake. My word, you guys. I know I’m not supposed to pick a favourite photo session, but I really really really am tempted to pick this as my new favourite! I specifically took this photo to mimic the sun flare of their engagement session. How’s that for full circle? (No pun intended.) He loves her so good! I especially love how well Bradley makes Jill laugh…and how willingly Jill leans into him. Good grief, guys. Can you get any cuter?! I think not. Using the same boat as Meghan & Jason’s Jones Lake love story, we watched the sun set over the glacier and cuddled in the canoe.
(Funny story, though: we forgot to bring the paddles for the boat, so I had to position them manually….and had to drag the boat through the water to the spot I wanted it. No cameras were harmed in the process, but I’m awfully thankful for my Keen water sandals.)
Cold. Gloomy. Sniffly. Wet. A day at the park in all that doesn’t seem like all that much fun, eh? But those factors were purely extraneous. Especially for Andrew and Kelsey’s clan. These four (and a half!) didn’t let a few climate obstacles get in the way of being able to enjoy being and especially…
The rain, the threatening thunderstorms, and the humidity tried to put a damper on our day – literally and figuratively – but it couldn’t. Oh…no….never. Not when its time to celebrate such a beautiful, pivotal, exciting season. And especially not when Todd and Marcela are counting down the days until they can meet their Jacob….
She twirled between the trees, pushing aside the green with her extravagant colors.; a pop of happy in an already vibrant forest. She didn’t stand too far from the rush of the highway, but the timbers stood guard against the pressures of an ugly and clashing world. Moments like hers don’t require a soundtrack, but she…
Lance & Kristen are leaving the comfortable, headed for a grand adventure. By grand adventure, I mean Louisiana. By comfortable, I mean North Carolina. And by headed out, I mean leaving in a couple days. Only fitting, then, that we hung out in the middle of the hottest week of the year (I don’t think…
Blissful anticipation with a healthy dose of reality, that’s what they were. Two weeks before their wedding, Kelsy and Sean’s spent an evening with me as we meandered Vancouver’s sidewalk. With a suppressed by palpable excitement, they walked back into the hotel where Sean proposed earlier in the year. They laughed over memories from their…
On paper, the day of these Abbotsford maternity photos was designed to celebrate motherhood and the glorious anticipation of adding a beautiful new life into this little family of three-almost-four. In reality, it was a true celebration of family and all the squeals of delight and cuddles of cuteness and stick-your-tongue-out-for-joy that is the everyday delights of little…

Love this engagement session!!! Such a great location and beautiful genuine photos.
These are fabulous. Much depends not only on the rare quality of their love, but also on the rare ability of the photographer to capture that beauty. Your additional adept and gentle skill with words was also necessary to sweetly portray this love amidst such natural beauty. Part of the whole beautiful package. Thank you, Jennifer.
