Today I’m blogging a wedding that I never had a chance to blog last summer. 2011 was a busy season for us at SNAP – we travelled to Mexico, up and down Vancouver Island, to Calgary and many places in between. One of my favourite weddings of the summer was that of my good friend Emily and her wonderful husband Thomas that took place in Victoria, B.C.

I shifted gears from photographer to bridesmaid, and it was so fun to be on the other side of things. Emily hired our mutual friend, the wonderful Courtney Clarke to photograph the ceremony and formals. Emily’s sister Megan is also a photographer, so between the three of us there were camera’s clicking all day. Megan blogged a more extensive post here, and did a fabulous job capturing her little sister’s day!

Emily is one of my most stylish, creative and beautiful friends. I just adore her sweet and fun personality, and was honoured to be a part of the wedding party. Mike and I have been so happy to spend time getting to know Thomas, the two of them are a perfect match. We are lucky to have “inherited” such a great friend.

Here are a few of my favorite images from the day!

Emily & Thomas – we are so happy to have great friends like you! Wishing you a 100 years of happiness!

Mike and I met up with Heather and Erik in Parksville where we met for the first time before their engagement session.  We love sitting down with our clients before our photo session begins to get a sense of what makes each relationship unique.  It’s important to us that we can have a fun and relaxed photo session to capture people’s true personalities.

Mike and I continue to be amazed by the clients that find SNAP, and the job that we are blessed to have – it is always so much fun getting out and taking pictures of lovely people.  Even though the rain came down for a little bit, we lucked out with a wonderful photo session with a great couple in Parksville, B.C.

Erik & Heather met each other for the first time at the Starbucks in Parksville, so we jumped at the opportunity for a warm drink and a fun prop to help tell their story.

If you saw our last blog post, you will recognize Renee from a maternity session that we did with her and her husband a few weeks ago! Renee is one of my sister’s closest friends – so my sister flew in from Calgary when she thought of this rare photo opportunity with her good friend! Renee and Amanda both happen to be pregnant with their first babies, so we decided it would be fun to do a double maternity session! Amanda is due in July, and Renee in April.

It was a cool windy day in Victoria, B.C – but we didn’t let that stop us! Both of these girls live in Alberta, so the weather didn’t seem so bad for March. The wind added a fun dynamic to a few of the photos.

Here are a few of my favorites! Enjoy!

Wayne & Renee own a beautiful property here on the island, and we thought it might be interesting to have a “before” photo of their little family on the site where their future home will be. The “after photo” will be so drastically different!

Wayne & Renee, we wish you all the best as you prepare for your little ones arrival! We can’t wait to here whether you will be having a little boy or little girl! Either way… we can’t wait to meet your little baby.
