I usually start my blog posts with a description of the day, but instead I thought I’d share this incredible testimonial Megan wrote about our time together:
“After finding (and loving) photos from a past project of Amber’s on the website of one of our prospective wedding venues, we made contact and set up a meeting to further discuss our photography options and to get acquainted. Within minutes of our meeting, we knew we had found the right fit with Amber. This was proven at our engagement photo shoot a few months later, we had an absolute ball throughout the entire shoot. Amber made us feel so relaxed and comfortable, and most importantly we had a lot of fun! The scenes she created for us with her expert eye resulted in absolutely incredible images that we will cherish. Over the next few months we kept in touch about plans for the wedding. She assisted us in picking photo shoot locations and offered her opinion on timing, lighting and general scheduling that helped us feel more secure in our plans.
The morning of the wedding understandably came with elements of anxiety. The moment Amber walked into the salon where we were getting ready, I felt calm wash over me. She took charge professionally and respectfully, allowing us to sit back and know that none of the amazing moments to come would go ‘un-captured’. This continued throughout the entire day, creating fun, relaxed and authentic scenes and absolutely stunning photographs. We are so blown away with our final portfolio of photos, what an amazing way to relive such an important day in our lives.
We truly couldn’t have asked for anything more from our photographer. The entire process with Amber was a dream, and the end results (the photographs we will keep forever) are truly priceless. Amber is a wonderful person, and an incredibly gifted and professional photographer. You cannot go wrong with choosing her to capture your most important moments.”
Where do I start? I absolutely adored Megan and Kevan’s wedding and couldn’t think of a more amazing place to celebrate it than in the heart of Kaleden, BC.Laughter, tears and good food were a huge part of this day and the dancing was off the hook. I think my favourite part of the day was standing with Kevan as Megan walked up for their first look. The anticipation on his face was quite apparent and I just knew he was about to be blown away with how stunning she looked. When he turned around and they embraced I’d be lying if I said I didn’t cry a bit. These two fit so easily into each other’s arms and smiles are always quick to appear. I smile just being around them.
