tim + sarah {white rock wedding photography}

Their engagement session was one of my most unique photography experiences to date. High in the sky, on Grouse Mountain, with snow falling the whole time,  I got to know one of the sweetest couples I've ever had the privilege of working with. As the speeches at their reception testified to, Sarah and Tim are one of those "made for each other, head over heels," kind of couples. It was so lovely to spend their wedding day with them.

The day began at Sarah's family home. We were so warmly greeted and taken in by this amazing family (Sarah's mom even packed Steve and myself a "goody bag" of muffins before we headed off to do portraits...Thanks again, Trina!) The gals laughed, listened to music (which made them laugh even more) and munched on yummy snacks as they transformed themselves into the beauties you will see in this post.

{I must share that Sarah's bouquet was made by the same woman that made her mom's bouquet on her wedding day!}

{Tim had arranged for a letter + gift to be delivered to his bride - so sweet!}

{meanwhile, Steve was over with the guys at Tim's house getting ready}

{I'm always amazed at how different the getting ready process is for guys...time for video games even!}

{watching Tim + Sarah see each other for the first time...such sheer joy on both their faces}

{isn't she the most adorable bride?}

{happy to be married? Yes, I think they are}

{Sarah's beloved dog Daisy...she was not to be left out... these two are nuts for each other}

{it was then off to White Rock Beach...it was a gorgeous day to be by the sea}

{we walked up the road a bit and found this great yellow restaurant...perfect with the purple}

{on the way to the reception, Steve + I spotted this gorgeous field with gorgeous light...after some serious horn-honking and U-turns we stopped for a few quick portraits...made.my.day.}

{and the reception...I loved listening to the speeches and just feeling the love in that room}

{father / daughter dance to the beautiful Paul Simon song...this made me cry...}

{the couples first dance - Sarah surprised Tim by professionally recording a Norah Jones song...you have a beautiful voice, Sarah!}

Tim + Sarah ~ Thank you for letting us be a part of such a beautiful day! God Bless you as you start your life together :)
