Alan and Jamie were married this past Friday at Neck of the Woods Winery in Langley, in a cozy ceremony surrounded by just their immediate family and a few close friends. I love these smaller weddings that I’ve been privileged to document lately, such relaxed and intimate celebrations, not lacking in joy and warmth. Prior to their wedding ceremony, Jamie and Alan had a first look at her sister’s farm in the valley. Jamie and her sister Nicole had spent the morning getting ready together there, just the two of them, and it was so fun to join them as they filled the farm house with their laughter and excitement. The day was overcast, providing us with soft light so we could roam the farm and photograph where we pleased. And oh how I enjoyed photographing Jamie and Alan…they had an easy chemistry and love and laughter and some of my favourite images from this wedding season are below… Shane’s view of the first look above, and mine below… Fun story: Shane wasn’t supposed to be second shooting with me at this wedding. But when my other second shooter had an emergency (not fun), Shane stepped in last minute and to our surprise, this very farm was the farm on which Shane spent the better part of his childhood! His aunt & uncle were the previous owners, and it was so fun to watch Shane recount childhood memories and see a piece of his past. Now, back to the wedding… :) Jamie’s only request for photos was to get a few in the barn, with the strands of white lights…I was more than happy to oblige… Then it was off to the winery… Jamie and Alan, congratulations! I can’t thank you enough…my heart is happy when I think back on your wedding day, and the honor of being your photographer. All the best to you both!
