We want to revisit it as we prepare for this years upcoming season. Here are some detail shots from one of the most beautiful weddings we have ever done (again in my humble opinion). I still get chills when I look through these images. Especially the ones at the end from Jenna & Tristan, I mean seriously can you get any better than these two?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This wedding was a match made in heaven, in floral heaven for me and the Verbena team. There is no better way to say “summer wedding”, then with hydrangeas, and lots of them in shades of vibrant blue, white and green. Just look at these fantastic blooms….

Nicole and Drew were married under the summer sun washed sky of a quintessential British Columbia summer evening. Nights like these and there is no where else on earth more beautiful. Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, was the perfect place for this fabulous wedding of two fabulous individuals.

Beautiful Nicole in her stunning gown surrounded by her beautiful bridesmaids in their floor length navy blue dresses, were quite simply perfection.

Nicole’s bouquet was a lush hand-tied filled with whites, greens and hints of blue. Her girls carried bountiful posies filled with hydrangeas in all the shades of blues, greens and whites.

See more details and the team of talent that makes it all happen in post #2

 

If I had to be working on my birthday, then there could not be a better couple too work for then Kim and Matt, owners of Still Life Boutique. What a beautiful crowd of beautiful people in a beautiful spot surrounded by beautiful flowers and beautiful vintage details, and beautiful wooden accents created by Matt himself.

Gorgeous little place card holders on antique crocheted table runners.

Beautiful antique bottles filled with incredible peonies and soft ladies mantle, and asters on carved cedar planks

Hand carved walnut table numbers surrounded by more vintage loveliness. The fantastic vintage finery was rented from the lovely Josephine at Victoria Vintage Rentals. There is a treasure trove of vintage goodness there and we are so lucky to have her here on the Island.

Beautiful and bountiful peonies and hydrangeas spill out of an old suitcase…

Sweet, sentimental details everywhere and the masterpiece, piece de resistance, the INCREDIBLE cake from the amazingly talented Corrina Ludwig of Passion for Cakes.

And to finish this post some beautiful shots of the bouquets, that were filled with all manner of soft, romantic and fluffy blooms. Peonies, garden roses, sweet peas, and lisianthus. Heaven!

Still Life and Still Love…..

What a truly lovely afternoon. An early summer day in the spectacular gardens of the beautiful English Inn and Resort was spent by myself and fantastic team of talent. This shoot was the inspiration of Adrienne from Pink Sugar Cupcakes. The theme was literature, antique paper and was coloured with a beautiful palette of soft creams, pale yellows, and golds, the tones added to the late afternoon sun light and cast a beautiful romantic glow over the whole scene.

The containers were wrapped with pages from antique books.

The stunning model and her lovely husband were prepped with the expert hands of Sharon Rai and the result was a stunning. She wore a beautiful headpieces made especially for the shoot by Tetrik Apparel and again incorporated pages from old books. The best part is that soon we will see how the magic of Karen McNeil and her beautiful eye captured the day and all the details. See Karen’s blog post here.
