Intimate Mountaintop Wedding

Maria + Brad were married in a stunning intimate mountaintop wedding ceremony at Manning Park amid blooming alpine meadows surrounded by scenic views of the Cascade mountain range.

Maria walked down the isle carrying a bouquet filled with wildflowers that Brad had handpicked for her that very morning. From the moment Brad saw Maria walking down the isle toward him, his jaw-dropping reaction was just another instance that showcased the love these two hold for each other (you can see more of their love by checking out their Buntzen Lake engagement session!). As she reached the end of her walk and extended her hands towards Brad’s, he looked at Maria and you could see – he knew, without a doubt, that he was the luckiest guy in the world.. I think he’s right 😉 and I was far from the only one to agree! The way Brad looks at Maria, the love that shines through their eyes as they look at each other, it’s clear they are wholly entirely intoxicated with each other.

The joy of the day wasn’t just between Brad + Maria, for all of their family and friends who had gathered shared in their excitement for this next stage in life together. The laughter and smiles, the tears of joy from Maria’s bridesmaids, sisters, mother, when she walked out in her wedding dress ready to face the day ahead of her was proof of the love & support these two have from their community.

It was such an honour to be up at the gorgeous Manning Park Resort yet again for Maria + Brad’s wedding day, you two were such a dream to photograph and we absolutely adored every minute of capturing your day.

“She was a storm, not the kind you run from.. the kind you chase.” – R.H. Sin

Misty & Cole – I’ve been (not so) patiently waiting for their special day since Misty contacted me last spring & told me over coffee all about their plans for their summer wedding at Manning Park Resort.

After their inevitable meeting years ago at friend’s party, these two have been inseparable almost ever since.
We met last fall for their engagement pictures at Deer Lake Park in Burnaby (you can check out their dreamy golden hour session by clicking HERE) and if I wasn’t already excited enough for their wedding, seeing the way these two interact together sealed the deal!

Fast forward to June this year.. On the way to the wedding from Chilliwack, it was becoming apparent that the rainclouds would dictate the day and it was so unexpectedly worth it. Between the rain, the breaks of sunshine, & the snow (yes – I said snow!), it could not have captured more perfectly the unique strong emotional connection that Misty + Cole have formed. Driving towards the summit of the mountain for Couple’s Portraits (my favourite!!!) the snow began to fall, cleansing that which once was there to prepare for the new life that these two would commit to together on this day.

This beautiful couple can weather anything that life throws at them & their wedding day was proof of their connection! Through rain, mountain winds, & snow, they never complained and never stopped looking towards each other. No matter the storm brewing outside, these two soaked in each & every moment and I have no doubt that together they can handle anything life throws at them.

Congratulations Misty + Cole – thank you for having me be a part of your day!

(You know the day is off to a good start when this little guy welcomes you to Manning Park!)
