Tennis & Colour Styled Shoot

Rachael and I are good friends and had been dreaming about doing a photoshoot together for a very long time. So when we started brainstorming ideas and realized we had two different looks we decided to create two very different photoshoots. I’ve already shown the first one here called Juxtaposition. This is our second one shot on the same day but with a very different look - full of colour and vibrance.

The tropical flowers were from potted plants grown in BC to keep this shoot all local except for the citrus fruits. Clothing was borrowed or from thrift stores. Some of the earrings are by Cait Wind.

Danae + Nate

Danae is one of my best friends and so when she asked me to create for her wedding and said she wanted something super colourful I was overjoyed! Her small intimate and unique wedding was such a beautiful expression of her and her love. The ceremony took place in upside studios and the reception was at Dockside green Cafe Fantastico. I love how much this wedding reflected them and truly was a celebration.

Stephanie and Samuel

I had the pleasure of creating for Stephanie and Sam this past April. Spring is one of my favourite times of year for flowers as there are many beautiful ones such as ranunculus, anemones, icelandic poppies and peonies to name a few. This wedding was no exception. I used locally grown flowers, as always, from the some lovely local farms such as River and Sea Flowers & Busy Bee Farm and Florals. The bride had requested this cascading bouquet, which was my first to create. These photos are from the incredibly talented Rachael Alexandra Co.

Juxtaposition Styled Shoot

This past winter I collaborated with the ever talented Rachael Alexandra Co for two styled shoots where we got creative with florals, fashion and more to create these beautiful images. We were inspired by the juxtaposition of dried and fresh florals and used a neutral colour palette. Hope you enjoy!

Della + Rob

July of this year was a beautiful time full of many gorgeous locally grown flowers and this early July wedding featured some of the most beautiful locally grown flowers from here on the island!

Della and Rob were married at Victoria Golf Club and I had the honour of creating for them. The flowers for this wedding included ranunculus by Mt. Newton Floral, Foxgloves from Little Bee Blooms, Scabiosa and Roses from Cartref Gardens, Dahlias and more Roses from Busy Bee Farm and Florals, and Sweet Peas from Still Wild. Please note the greens were not local.

Thank you Della and Rob for letting me a part of your day.
