A Springtime Wedding at Milner Gardens Sheila and Ian’s Milner Gardens wedding was held in late May, a springtime celebration on a sunny day in Qualicum Beach. The 70 acre property was in full bloom at this time, filling the scenery with colorful flowers, unfurling ferns, and vibrant green grass. Guests enjoyed the walking trails through old growth Douglas Fir, and views looking out towards the ocean and distant mountains. […]
Neck Point Park ~ Autumn Leaves and Golden Glow Maria and Jordan’s Neck Point Park engagement photos were taken in early September when the leaves on the Oak Trees turn yellow. They were looking for an Autumn feel in their photos, and Neck Point Park is a meaningful setting where these two spend a lot of time together. Early September was perfect! I find the Oak Trees turn quite quickly […]
An Intimate Tigh Na Mara Wedding in September Miranda and Lucas enjoyed their Tigh Na Mara wedding among an intimate group of 30 family members and friends. Amazingly, nearly all of these guests travelled from either Alberta or the mainland to be there. Miranda and Lucas were also from Alberta, and chose Tigh Na Mara for its beautiful beachside setting and all-inclusive wedding packages. A destination wedding on Vancouver Island! […]
Lyndsay and Greg’s Two Eagles Lodge Wedding Lyndsay and Greg’s Two Eagles Lodge wedding is a day I will never forget.

The physical beauty of the building, the golden grass fields overlooking the ocean, the pure love and energy from family and friends, and the warmth from the hostess Carolyn all flowed together to […]
Playing Crib and Drinking Beer at Sandcut Beach Kayla and Troy’s Sandcut Beach engagement photos were taken on a typical West Coast day; overcast with a sprinkle of rain. Equipped with a cute rain jacket and clear umbrella, these two were not phased by the weather whatsoever. They actually visit here often- exploring Port Renfrew beaches had become one of their hobbies during the pandemic and it is now something […]
A Power Outage Wedding at Tigh Na Mara Ashley and Frank did not expect to have a power outage wedding at Tigh Na Mara. Nor did the other 29,000 households in the Nanoose-Qualicum Bay region that day. Many people woke up to snow on the ground, flattening their early gardening efforts (me!), and surprising them with no power. The windy night had knocked down many trees, including one on a […]
