intimate portrait of bride & groom on their wedding day, qualicum beach, bc

it was the end of summer. The sun shone after a few days of rain. Everything was quenched & the afternoon glowed in magic light. The crown mansion in qualicum beach was the perfect setting for celia & chris’ wedding ceremony. Set in the shade at the edge of the forest & surrounded by gardens, we were steeped in the wonder of witnessing these two promise their lives to one another. They walked into their ceremony as celia brownrigg & chris mcguigan & walked out as mr & mrs brogan. A combination of them both, a new name, a new adventure, a new life together.

all this followed by running in the forest, wading through the ocean, frisbee tossing, classic car rides & a gorgeous backyard reception filled with beautiful diy details. So much effort to turn out this amazing celebration. Great food, great fun, fabulous people. All a complete joy to share in & photograph.

celia & chris, thank you. Thank you for inviting me along to capture your wedding day journey, for all the fun, the antics, for your open hearts & kindness. May the love you share & the joy you celebrate grow in the coming years. Deepest happiness to you both.
