If you read Part 1 of Helen and Alex’s reception then you will know that they didn’t want a traditional wedding. So, our time for bride and groom portraits was much shorter then I typically schedule, but for what they wanted it worked perfectly! We snuck away for a few short moments, and photographed the […]

When I spoke to Helen on the phone discussing details of their wedding, I knew it was going to be beautiful. Their plan was to keep it small, inviting only the closest of friends and family. They didn’t want the “traditional” wedding, and so were married on a sail boat out in paradise lakes! Instead […]

I am so excited to introduce my wonderful mother and talented author, Catherine West! For as long as I can remember, my momma has either been reading books or writing books. But it wasn’t until recently (okay, like 10 years ago!) that she began to take her craft seriously and pursue it as something more then […]

A few weeks ago I blogged about Baby Keyler and his incredible story. I figured it was only right to give everyone an update! First of all, for those of you that donated towards “Buzzed or Bald” thank you, thank you, thank you. Your donations are SO greatly appreciated, and my Dad ended up raising […]

Although one of the goals for our vacation was to simply relax, we did have Randy’s sisters wedding to get ready for! So the second portion of our vacation was spent getting the venue ready, creating the most beautiful bouquets and helping wherever we were needed. You might think this sounds awfully busy, but to be […]

It had been over 6 months since Randy or myself had been back in Canada. And as much as we love living in Bermuda and do consider it our home we had missed Canada. Missed being able to drive for hours on end with the windows down and the radio blaring, being able to walk […]

To say that last week was extremely busy would be an understatement. After working 9 hours at Wee Care, I headed over to our church, First Baptist, where I was heading up songs/choreography for our Vacation Bible School. And let me tell you, those 6 songs were high energy! So, although I absolutely adored teaching […]

This past weekend, my husband and I had the honour of standing beside his sister as a part of her bridal party. The wedding was held at the Elgersma’s property, and they completely transformed the backyard to create the most beautiful wedding venue! The combination of wild flowers, barn wood, church pews and all the handmade […]

It’s here! Tomorrow is the day!! It all seems so surreal. I remember the first time we met. I was beyond nervous to be meeting Randy’s family for the first time. You were 15 (maybe not even yet) and excited about piano, soccer and track and field. I loved getting to know you! And then […]

There are 3 full days left until my BEAUTIFUL sister-in-law becomes a wife! I can’t even believe it! I have a little something else coming soon, but since we’re all in the wedding spirit around here I knew that showing them off early on the blog was only necessary! Back in December, it was my […]
