Aly + Aaron | The Loft at Earls Yaletown, Vancouver | Photos by Lydia Jane (www,lydiajane.com)

I like to think most of my clients have turned into friends by the time they walk they walk down the aisle. But when those clients also happen to be real-life friends who go way back, the feeling is overwhelming. I cried so many happy tears at Aly and Aaron's wedding their wedding day is almost a blur. Good thing lenses don't fog when eyes do so I have some wonderful photos to show it! Looking back at these photos my heart bursts with joy all over again. To see my friend Aly marry such a kind guy on such a beautiful Spring day, surrounded by plants of every kind, in the hip upstairs Loft at Earls Yaletown, was definitely a highlight from the past year.

The heart and soul of my love for photography has always been the people. And every single soul I crossed paths with at this wedding was sincere and lovely. It's always an honor to fly far and away for a wedding and this wedding was so exception. Now if only I could figure out how to slice this continent down the middle and bring Aly and Aaron closer to Minnesota...love you guys so much! xo

Sarah + Jordan | Theodore Wirth Park Chalet | Photos by Lydia Jane (www,lydiajane.com)

Cats, lace, eucalyptus, engraved wedding bands, and a ceremony that had everyone in tears. Sarah and Jordan's wedding was a page straight out of a storybook. Just wait until you see the cake topper!! I truly loved every second of this wedding day at Theodore Wirth Chalet. Sarah and the team at Artemisia Studios created such a romantic and cozy atmosphere inside the chalet. Meanwhile, outside the sun was showing off and calling my name. Pulling these two outside for golden hour portraits during the reception resulted in my favorite photos from the day. Big shoutout to the talented vendors who made this day possible - Julia my second shooter, Steller Hair Company, Artemisia Studios, Cocoa and Fig, among others! You guys rock!
