Shannon and Ashley

Spencer — Fri, 15 Feb 2013 22:32:22 +0000

I forgot to blog this from last fall, so here they are now! We chose Bowen Park for the leaves and Neck Point Park for the water. I’m looking forward to Shannon and Ashley’s wedding this summer at Tigh-Na-Mara. It’s going to be a fantastic party and from what they have envisioned for the day, it’s going produce some awesome shots. One of the reasons that I’m into weddings is because I love seeing brides looking their best in their dresses and who could say no to two dresses!! Anyway, on to the images!

What can we say about 2012… What an amazing year! We met some awesome people, attended some fabulous weddings, we made the cover of our first magazine and are expecting our second child (in 2013). We are very happy with how this year turned out and we are really looking forward to next year as it should prove to be our busiest year to date.

To all our clients this year, we say Thank You! We wouldn’t be where we are at without you and we are very thankful you chose to include us in your big day.

We have made a short video that includes a few shots from our year. This video includes some personal work at the beginning and the end. We hope you like it.

Happy 2012 everyone and we will see you for 2013!

Kevin and Amy Married – Tofino and Nanaimo Museum Wedding

Spencer — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 17:27:51 +0000

Wow, what a way to end our season. I’ve known Amy for a long time now and I was very very excited to be part of her big day. As she started explaining what she had planned, I knew we were in for something special. This marks the first time that Theresa and I have spent the evening with a wedding group (see Theresa helping Amy wash her dress below). It also was the first time that we have been to a wedding where the ceremony and reception were held on two different days in two different locations. As a result we handed over our biggest image count to a client and our biggest blog post to date (sorry for the epic mouse scroll below). Amy put so much thought and effort into planning her wedding and it shows. It was a very intimate ceremony which was only attended by close friends and family. The reception was held at such a cool spot which was a huge party where we saw all their friends, 2 live bands and the photo booth. Check the images below as it tells some of the story. I wish I could have shown more images, but this post is way way to big already. Enjoy!

Amy and Kevin, words can’t express how much fun we had and how we will remember your day(s) forever. Thanks for having us out. Spencer and Theresa

Brent and Josceline – Dragons Lodge, Gabriola Island Wedding

Spencer — Sun, 07 Oct 2012 18:51:04 +0000

Brent and Josceline contacted us to photograph their wedding and when they told us that it was a the Dragon’s Lodge on Gabriola Island, we knew that we were in for a treat. As Josceline described what she had planned I got really excited. There were so many details from her wedding that stood out as you can see by this massive blog post. The thing that I really loved about this wedding was the colours which were based on Dahlia flowers. I loved how every bridesmaids dresses were a different colour, that was awesome. All the flowers for the event were donated by a local Dahlia farm that Josceline use to visit as a young girl. Brent and Josceline spent time and effort in consideration of every detail for their wedding which really shows through and added to guest enjoyment, including our own! The biggest thing about putting together a really nice wedding is the small details as it really ties the whole event together. “The devil is in the details” is something that I usually say when talking to brides-to-be and apparently that struck a cord with Josceline as she nailed it, and cursed me for it. Whooops!

Brent and Jos, we can’t thank you enough for having us out to your wedding. We truly had a great time with your family. We know you’re going to have a stellar future and we wish you all the best.
