Erin + Gordie’s Elopement on the Sunshine Coast

September 10, 2020
Featured  ·  Photography  ·  Wedding

I first met Erin and Gordie last summer when they were in search of a wedding photographer and I felt like it was a little bit of love at first sight haha Erin pulled out her wedding planning book and we worked our way through her checklist and list of questions to ask. She was speaking my language. If you dont know by now, I have lists for everything! They are what keep me sane and organized.

This year has thrown so many of us for a loop and even though Erin + Gordie had originally planned on a large wedding at the Hitching Post in Ladner BC with about 150 people. They then rolled with the punches and planned an intimate elopement for their big day out at the West Coast Wilderness Lodge on the Sunshine Coast (north of Sechelt by about an hour) . Small and intimate weddings are quickly becoming some of my favourite days to capture <3 They’re filled with so much love that everywhere you look its something so special.

The West Coast Wilderness Lodge on the Sunshine Coast is breathtaking!! From their large deck for your ceremony to the rocky shores of the Pacific Ocean just a few steps away, to the stunning covered decks for the evening celebrations overlooking the bay. It’s absolutely stunning and being there with these two and their immediate family was so incredible.

Erin and I have talked so much over the last year that I feel like I got to witness my friends getting married and it makes my so heart full. They’re such incredible people, Gordie’s a charmer and Erin with her bubbly and infectious giggles. Aaaah I can’t say enough about how amazing it was to be there for their elopement.

Below are some sneak peeks from their elopement at the West Coast Wilderness Lodge, Earls Cove this past weekend.

Sam and Dino brought the perfect mix of romance and connection to this mountain-side session—proof that bridal portraits don’t have to be just about the dress, but about the story, the connection, and the moments in between.

Golden hour has a way of making everything feel a Golden hour has a way of making everything feel a little more magical, and this evening with Steph and Stefan was no exception.

Leaving their boys at home, they spent the evening soaking in the meadow, laughing, connecting, and fully embracing just their relationship.

Moments like these—soft light, genuine smiles, and the quiet joy of being together—are exactly why I love what I do. It’s all about capturing the sparks that make your love story uniquely yours.
Golden hour, the ocean at our feet, and the quiet Golden hour, the ocean at our feet, and the quiet anticipation of welcoming a little one—Sarah’s maternity session was pure magic.

There’s something so special about soaking in these fleeting moments, feeling the tide, the warmth of the sun, and the excitement of what’s to come.

These are the memories you’ll carry long after the days blur together, captured exactly as they feel right now.

Their wedding at Poets Cove was everything a small wedding should be—intimate, full of laughter, and wrapped in the love of their closest family and friends. ✨

From the gentle island breeze to the heartfelt vows, every moment felt personal and perfectly theirs. Small weddings have a way of making the love and joy feel even bigger, and being there to capture it all was an absolute dream.
