Wedding Photography at Botanical Gardens in Tofino, Vancouver Island, BC

Oh, Tofino. This magical place has a special place in my heart. Everytime I visit I feel so inspired and at peace. When Becky and Tony asked me to be their wedding photographer I was already excited because I have known Becky since high school and saw some of their relationship through social media over the years (gorgeous couple, amirite?) but then found out it was going to be in Tofino and my excitement went through the roof.

You can telI this group of people really love each other because the emotions were high all day. There were so many beautiful tears and smiles and laughs. I’ve never photographed a smudging ceremony and it was something very special to be a part of and be able to document. I love seeing couples incorporate culture and unique elements into their wedding day. I also love that they had pizza for their main course… cause.. yeah, I just love pizza. After all the food was done and the beautiful speeches had been made, we snuck off to the beach for sunset photos and got there just in time (we almost didn’t catch that perfect light because we were distracted by a group of people that had a bunch of puppies so we had to stop to pet them, naturally… SO CUTE). We headed back to the reception and got straight into the dancing. Knowing Becky is a dancer and has dancer friends I knew this would be a blast to be a part of. To start their marriage off right Becky iced Tony on the dance floor and now they are living happily ever after! The end.

I felt more like a friend at this wedding than a worker. Those are my favourite kind of wedding days.
