I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia at Amanda & Lyall's wedding last year; She was a Bridesmaid and little did I know at the time that she had just gotten engaged a few days prior! So with her upcoming nuptuals in mind, she was paying extra attention during the whole day to all the vendors and how we worked and I'm thrilled that she contacted me shortly afterward to shoot hers and Brandon's big day! As with Amanda and Lyall's wedding, I had the pleasure of working alongside Chelsea from Paper Heart Films for the day who is always such a sweetheart to work with. We started off at one of her friends' vacation homes in Shawnigan Lake before heading up to the beautiful Merridale Ciderworks for the ceremony and reception. It was wet and chilly but Alicia and Brandon braved the cold without complaint, and Brandon even took a fall in the mud at one point. These two are warm, kind, genuine people whose families are of utmost importance to them and I had a pleasure work with them every step of the way. Here are a few favourites!
