I'm Jackie

Traveling wedding photographer + photography/small biz educator.

Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely.  I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life. 

hey hey

Parties with all the best people in their lives.

Love stories in all forms without the white dress... or maybe they wore white, it happens.

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

Home. After 3 weeks on the road. But, I miss the road. Honestly. I guess maybe I’m not much of a home-body.

Part 1 of my trip I was down in Southern California. Enjoying Santa Barbara, Anaheim, Fight Club workshop, new friends, old friends, Global Share, fun, and more fun.

From there I went straight up to Vancouver, my FAVORITE place. Absolute, by far, favorite. Flew in there all exhausted from California and drove straight out to Chilliwack to stay with my friend Justine.  Chilliwack is out there, haha. I never really put together how far it was from the city until I started driving

I had such a blast with Justine, her husband (Marco) and their son, Luca.  Lots of laughing, lots of eating, lots of on-the-go, and plenty of shooting.  I was Justine’s second shooter for a wedding the day after I got there at the Langley Golf Centre. So much fun.

Followed by some shopping, rehearsals, met up with another friend and photographer Matt Kennedy. Then an engagement session with one of Justine’s amazing couples. Felt good to get back into the woods a little at the river 🙂

Followed by days of random fun and chaos, cause that’s how we roll 🙂

And Sydney and Aaron’s AWESOME wedding at Queens Park in New Westminster.  Seriously adore this couple and their bridal party. Heck their whole guest list. I seriously just wanted to stay, dance and party all night with them. I could not be more happy for them!

Then Saturday was kinda a chill relax day. Well that’s what I did with it, haha. Justine captured some killer images of me for my upcoming new site. LOVE them. Stoked.

Then yesterday it was time to come home. I decided I’d leave Chilliwack earlier in the morning to spend some time in Vancouver cause I’d kick myself if I was in the area for 10 days and didn’t actually spend time in the area I love. I ended up heading up to North Van and having a fun little relaxing day. Love it up there, want to live there oh-so-bad haha.

It is soo soo good to be back and see family and friends again. But I’m definitely crossing my fingers for many more opportunities to head up to Vancouver and shoot weddings and engagements. Until then, well there is LOTS of shooting happening in the upcoming weeks 🙂
