Right now I’m blogging from Reduit Beach, Saint Lucia the spot where this loving couple exchanged their vows. I wish I could easily find the words to express how happy I am for them… The best way for me to do that is to share a few of their lovely photos from yesterday’s beach wedding at Bay Gardens Beach Resort. I’m so sad to leave this island, but excited for the life that Bradley and Honorine are about to begin together. I’m also unbelievably grateful to them for the opportunity to capture their love in paradise! Check out their day-before engagement shoot here!

Congratulations to you two! Your love is absolutely beautiful! xo

Saint Lucia is paradise AND it’s the night before Bradley and Honorine’s wedding ceremony! I’m so inspired by everything. The kindness of the people, the secluded beaches, the bright blue sea side, the gorgeous architecture… This place is truly a must see. I’m loving the photos of this gorgeous couple so much that I was immediately determined to share a same-day preview. I can’t get over how beautiful Saint Lucia is AND just look at these two! Unbelievably lovely… Can’t wait for tomorrow! Good night from Saint Lucia! xo

These two are all about style and have the vision to pull off outfits ready for spring and summer in a heartbeat! That’s why I was so interested in connecting with them before I left Ottawa for the summer. I really wanted to use these photos as inspiration for couples. A photoshoot, whether it’s an engagement shoot or an shoot just because, is the perfect opportunity to try out some of the season’s latest trends and colors. As you can see the camera loves color! CJ and Katherine were the perfect duo and didn’t have a problem with my call for movement. Here’s look #1 from our shoot! Check out their blog to find out what they wore and how they felt about the experience!

Don’t forget to watch the promo video we shot! It’s been a hit so far!
