When Amy called me to book her wedding she knew two things - she would be marrying the man of her dreams, and the ocean would be nearby. She accomplished both perfectly. Surrounded by an intimate group of family and friends, with the sun pouring golden warmth, she said I do on the beach in the always breathtaking Tofino.

Amy is a budding photographer, which always gets me excited and a bit more nervous for the wedding. Her and Brad wanted some drama for their photos, and we have the weather gods to thank for the gift of the combination of mist and sun, which gave the beach such a warm glow.

We met Amy and Brad for a first look and some photos before their ceremony. This year many of my couples are choosing this route and I can't recommend it strongly enough - it gives a chance to take the other person in, to love them, and admire them.

Thank you Amy and Brad, for bringing your fabulousness, for planning a wedding that was true to you and for letting us be part of it. It was an incredibly memorable day filled with so much beauty, you are both gorgeous!

I can't wait to see where the next few years take you, and based on how you kicked off life I know the future is going to play by your rules and be filled with a strong Joie de Vie.

A huge thank you to my assistant and second shooter Jennifer Dodd from Powell River, for sharing the joy this wedding brought.
