💞Jenna & Moar

It’s the little things that told their story — the heirloom earrings, the handwritten vows, the perfume that will always be 'that scent'.

When they look back, these are the small details that will bring them right back to how the day felt.

Motherhood isn’t just about carrying a baby—it’s about carrying love, patience, and strength in ways you didn’t know you could. And in photos? That glow shines every single time. ✨

🏔️✈️ Throwback to Janelle & Austin: Chasing Sunsets at Alouette Lake
Sometimes a memory is just so beautiful, it deserves a replay. This one is for Janelle and Austin, who flew all the way up from California to celebrate their One Year Anniversary with a mountain adventure right here at Alouette Lake!

Why These Moments Are Timeless
This is the beauty of choosing intentionality and experience in your marriage. It wasn't just about taking pictures; it was about honoring the start of their legacy by creating a new, unforgettable milestone. The misty, quiet B.C. mountains were the perfect backdrop for their connection—a reminder that their love story is bigger than any single location.

Are you holding off on creating beautiful experiences because of distance or logistics? Don't wait! Investing in moments like this is investing directly into the core of your relationship. These images become your heirlooms, your proof that you chose adventure together, no matter the journey.

Thank you, Janelle and Austin, for letting me be part of this incredible chapter. Your decision to chase those B.C. views remains one of my favorite memories of intentional love!

Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the f

Your wedding day is a masterpiece, and while the flowers and the dress are breathtaking, it's the quiet, timeless details that carry the weight of your history.

Can we talk about the heirloom pieces? 👇

The Real Story Behind the "Stuff"
For my couples, the details aren't just for show. They're tangible links to the past, little moments of legacy you can feel. I'm talking about:

The delicate heirloom jewelry—maybe worn by your grandmother or great-aunt—that makes you feel wrapped in generations of love. (A moment to pause, breathe, and connect.)

The family Bible, passed down for decades, signed on your wedding day—a reminder that your story is part of something much bigger.

Pain Point: Are you worried these meaningful details will be rushed or missed in the whirlwind? I promise you, they won't be.

My Promise to You
As your photographer, I don't just snap a picture of these items. I treat them with the reverence they deserve, knowing they represent your history and the start of your new legacy. I believe in capturing that quiet, timeless moment—the soft light on your rings, the gentle fold of a treasured page.

This is where your memories become more than just fleeting moments; they become heartfelt, tangible heirlooms for your own children someday.
