Ryan + Ashley :: Wedding Day

You may remember Ryan + Ashley from their super fabulous engaged session…here and here.

The moment we met these two, we just knew that we were about to take part in something special.  Ryan + Ashley were married under an arch custom built by the Ashley’s brother.  Seriously?  Yup.  To say it was incredible would be an understatement!  It was pre-made and later assembled in place…best of all, it will now be a part of their backyard.  How amazing is that?

The day was perfection…of course, perfection never comes without fun little mishaps.   Rings are always a good thing to bring along for the the ceremony!  hehe.  Speaking of the ceremony…we simply loved how personal it was to them and was truly a wonderful example of being “you” on your wedding day.  Of course the rest of the day was nothing short of spectacular.  We will let the images do the talking…

enjoy.

Dew + Jessica :: Married

Well, Brooke and I had yet another wonderful wedding we felt very fortunate to have photographed. Jessica’s family owns our fave shop in town, ” Vintage and Vogue”, so as you can imagine there were great finds everywhere we looked. Mason jars, handpainted signs, wildflowers, paper cranes, mismatched pillows, a photo booth ( this was a first for us, and we LOVED it)! There were even mini donuts, cotton candy, dilly bars and a fry truck. Ummmm….hello! Talk about a fun wedding!!!  Jess’ dress was vintage of course,  picked up by the bride’s sister in San Fransico and she looked stunning in it. Every detail was beautiful, the weather perfect, the food delish… and most of all Jess and Dew were amazing.

A big huge thanks to you both for having us be a part of your day – and for those of you interested in Jess’ first session with White Linen, click here to see her boudoir session…..a fave for sure.

Hugs,

Michele and Brooke

Shane + Sarah :: Engaged

A beautiful session for a very beautiful couple. Sarah and Shane will be married this September, and it is a wedding both Brooke and I are truly excited about; their attention to detail is nothing short of fabulous…..when I saw Sarah’s dress and Shane’s blazer and his Pa’s hat – to say I was inspired is an understatement. Only one setback happened on this shoot – Brooke was unable to make it, and we were bombarded with rain and a very stormy sky.  Solution….. outrun the rain, of course!  A 45 minute drive later and we found ourselves in this stunning field Brooke and I had spotted during a drive to Vancouver. It couldn’t have turned out better……even with the rain:)

Sarah and Shane….thank you for being so patient with me; and especially for being so sweet – it was easy to capture the real “you’s”!

Michele

Yup, I know…..paper envy, right – AND it’s letter pressed. Yum oh yum. NOW do you understand why we’re excited about the wedding?! These delightful invites were designed through Golden Rectangle Press.

Angela Waterberg - So Cute! Seriously, who wouldn’t want their engagement photos to look like this ?!?! :)

Lindsaygee@gmail.com - euw…i didn’t mean to leave my email addy in the ‘name’… that’s creepy and wrong! haha.

i promise, i’m normal ;)

Lindsaygee@gmail.com - gosh this girl is cute. who is she? I have a crush on her hair!

Reb - Love these! And their wedding invitation rules!

devon - umm wow! love love love, the flowers, her dress..adorable :)

s h e r r y - What is that amazing field with flowers?! Wish we had one similar to that in Vancouver!

Becky - Love how that first location and their outfits totally go with their invites! That second shot gives me location envy…mountains trump the praries! lol.

Will + Leslie :: Wedding Day

So, this was quite a last minute booking which B and I weren’t planning to work, but man oh man are we glad we accepted! Leslie and Will were so unbelievably fabulous together, so calm, and so in LOVE that the day was quite honestly…well, perfect. Not to mention the fact that the everyone arrived by steam train, only to be married at a tressle!  Unique, intimate and quirky all at once, the day seemed very fitting for this wonderful couple and their families. Will and Leslie; thank you so much for having us be a part of your day, and for putting up with our bossiness….( we needed to be, it was a 3 hour day for us; quickest yet)! Hopefully you are enjoying your 6 week honeymoon in Africa; we can’t wait to hear all about it once you’re back:)

Best of wishes,

Michele and Brooke

Perhaps my fave shoe-shot to date….you sure can work that macro B!Leslie….you are gorgeous; I adore this shot of you.The painting on the right is of the 100 year old train on the Kettle Valley Steam Railway – Will + Leslie’s wedding was only the 2nd to be held here.The ladies making their grand entrance on the train..Can you see the train puffing away on the left….LOVE IT!I know it’s not technically “the kiss shot”…but it’s just seconds after. And man oh man it is one of our faves!And on to their “formals”. Which, I have to say were far from formal! B and I were literally running as we had about 15 minutes to capture all we wanted. Leslie and Will? You two were amazing in front of our cameras. Thank you!Yummy light, amazing location, and of course a couple who is obviously in love.What a wonderful time we had…..hope the two of you enjoy your images:)

White Linen Photography - thanks much. the tree was a lucky find in the back of a hair salon…yup, fabulous. i so dont have a green thumb, so i am not sure what it is…but i do love it! b.

stephanie p - wow, these are beautiful! I adore that shoe shot, too. so stunning. what kind of tree is that? Such a fun idea with the train. This kind of makes me want to do weddings–sort of. :-)

Danna - simple beautiful! love the location. LOVE her dress.
