A little bit about me and some of my favourite things ….

Snuggles with my two little ones. They are my whole heart. Date nights with my husband to the same four restaurants lol. We are creatures of habit. Wine, preferably red, or Prosecco. Tea and lots of it. My garden is my happy place. I have a small flower farm and flower stand and I hope to expand this passion of mine. We have four hilarious little ducks, 1 Indian Runner and 3 Muscovy. Strolls around our beautiful neighbourhood. Cozy coffee shops and skinny vanilla lattes or London Fogs. The ocean is SO good for my soul, I could never live away from it. Dark dark chocolate. Movies and cuddles on the couch. I looooove Maui. Boots all year round, definitely. Sushi. I am proud to be Canadian. I will own a french bulldog one day. Places I have travelled: England, France, Scotland, Turkey, Greece, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Mexico, Oahu and Maui and a few more little snippets of Canada and the U.S. I hate being late. Pinterest, I am obsessed. Instagram, I am relatively new to it, but fully addicted. My mom is one of my best friends. I have a growing cookbook collection. I try to practice living a life full of gratitude. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day, Kim :)

Sandra & Don {Married} Part I

October 30, 2011

I knock three times. Sandra comes to the door in her cute tank top and jean shorts, but done to the nines with her hair and make-up looking so super glam. She is completely at ease and relaxed and I am not surprised for a second. Sandra has been one of the most easy going people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I knew that her wedding day would be no different. She chose to get ready at the Brentwood Bay Lodge Resort and Spa which was such a treat for shooting lovely detail and getting ready images. As I moved around shooting I chatted with her lovely TWIN bridesmaids. How awesome is that 🙂 I thought it was so cool to have not only two sisters as her bridesmaids, but twins!

When we were all ready to go, Sandra’s brother came and picked her up in style, in a firetruck. You could tell the guests at the hotel were wondering what was going on, and were relieved to find out that it wasn’t a fire, but instead cheered for her on as she climbed aboard.

We arrived at Sea Cider and quickly set up their first look. Sandra casually picked up her dress and strolled past the apple crates towards Don. His reaction is priceless as you will see. I think he may have liked what he saw!

Then we moved on to the ceremony. One of my favourite moments was when they passed their rings around to all their guests for them each to bless them, or think positive thoughts for them and their marriage. Loved that!

On to their portraits.

As Sandra and Don looked out over the orchard he squeezed her tight and whispered in her ear. She giggles and her face lights up with so much happiness. There is so much sweetness and adoration with their love. I get the feeling that they both feel so lucky to have found one another.

Conversation comes so easy with these two. As we wander around shooting portraits we chat about our love for Maui and snorkelling and how jealous I am that they are heading to Hawaii for a fabulous honeymoon. My body misses the heat already.

Don and Sandra it was a treat to be a part of your wedding. Thanks for having me! Feel free to leave them some comment love below.
