What's up everybody!
We just got back last night from our trip to Chilliwack, British Columbia to celebrate the wedding of Jess's cousin, Stephen Langford, to his (now) wife Ali. It was a beautiful ceremony! We started by flying out to Seattle on Thursday and meeting with Jess's family and grandparents!
We walked around the Pike Place Market downtown and it was crazy busy, but also crazy fun! So many shops and places to eat! The view of the bay was beautiful too!
We then made our way up to Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada where the wedding took place. They were married at The Falls Golf Club, which was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! As the cinematographer, I was practically drooling at the opportunity to capture it all. Stephen and Ali are just fantastic together and God was honored mightily during the ceremony!
What a crazy beautiful wedding day, huh?! Gosh it was awesome. On top of that, it was Samantha's (Jess's sister) birthday! There was much to celebrate.
Jess was sweet to come early with me to set up and get our bearings to shoot the best video possible. It ended up being a 10.5 hour day, but it was SO much fun! I have an adrenaline rush through most of the day to get the best shots and piece together everything in my head. Jess was so helpful in getting the lay of the land and planning what order we should get certain shots. What an awesome partner!
It's always a privilege to be so up close and personal with the bride, groom, and bridal party. There's so much joy, laughter, fun, and love in those moments. I have the incredible opportunity to capture that joy, laughter, fun, and love. It's just an honor to be there for such a special day in their lives!
The day after the wedding we made a trip into Vancouver, had a delicious brunch, and walked downtown and near the bay. The city of Vancouver was very pretty and a blast to walk around all the shops and restaurants.
The beauty of the Northwest and British Columbia is breathtaking. I could've taken photos of the landscapes and cityscapes for months!
We drove back to Seattle Sunday night and flew out on Monday afternoon, my 23rd birthday. It was a day well spent in airports and airplanes with my lovely wife. And as a bonus, God created this scene for us to look at. Icing on the cake.
