Karen & Don - October 11, 2008

So I finally got to meet Karen and Don on Saturday at their wedding - all planning and co-ordinating up till then had been by email.

We met Karen first at her Squamish hotel getting finishing touches of make up done, then Susannah went to hang out with the Croft men as they were getting ready.

Karen had wickedly cool shoes! 

Here's the very lovely Karen.....

The guys went to Nexen Beach and the girls went to Shannon Falls for a few pre-ceremony shots before heading off to Furry Creek for the ceremony.

Reaching the front.....

We were lucky with the weather and although it was cold, we were able to get out on the golf course and stop at a few spots.  Karen and Don were great sports!

After 14 years together these two were finally hitched - here are the rings and M&Ms to prove it!

Congratulations Karen & Don!!!!! 

It was a pleasure to meet you and we wish you many many more years of happiness.

Katrina & Carson - August 9, 08

Katrina & Carson were married in a private residence on Furry Creek Drive - a really fabulous location with an awesome view!

I started my day with the girls getting ready in one of the bedrooms.  Here's how I know Katrina was behind this door....

Here's her dress and great wedding sandals!

Katrina's mother's reaction on seeing her daughter was wicked!

I love this candid moment.....nearly a Mrs....

Many guests arrived by bus.....it sounded like they had a great time getting there...

We went down to the water for a few shots after the ceremony. Man was the wind strong!  The clouds were fantastic - stormy and dramatic, but luckily the rain held off for us.

Here's Katrina hanging on to her veil.....

The guys.....

And the girls.....

On the way back to the house we stopped at the little cafe building at the junction - I've always wanted to shoot there....

Then it was back to the house for dinner, speeches, fun and laughter....oh, and candy.....

Katrina and Carson's wedding was a great example of an alternative venue wedding - with a great location and event planner Elana from A Sweet Beginning there to co-ordinate things, everything ran smooth as silk.

All the best Katrina and Carson - it really was a spectacular day for a West Coast wedding!
