Let me introduce to you the amazing Christian & Amber! My husband Mark flew out to their wedding at the end of September. Christian and Amber got married at Bodega Ridge on beautiful Galiano Island in BC! I’ll be honest and say I was completely heart broken that I couldn’t be there for their beautiful day. But sometimes circumstances in life appear and things go differently then originally planned. I am eternally grateful for my dear friend Morgaine in Vancouver for being there when I most needed her. Please go check out her amazing session with Christian & Amber HERE!!!
Ok. Let’s focus on the bride & groom! I remember the day I first met Amber. She was only a few days old, wrapped in a blanket in her mother’s arms! I look at these images Mark captured of her and I’m in awe at her beauty! Christian is a professional athlete, cycling for Garmin Transitions, just finished racing at the Road World Championships in Australia! Check out his team HERE!! Christian also loves coffee and first met Amber when she was working at a coffee shop in Vancouver! He visited frequently and as you can see, they fell in love! They now reside in Spain and I now dream of visiting Spain after seeing all her images on facebook!
The morning of the wedding, Christian and his cycling buddies put on their gear and went for a ride. Mark hopped in a car and followed, capturing some awesome images of their ride through the beautiful island!

I love this candid image Mark got of Christian enjoying his cup of steaming coffee!

Amber did an amazing job with all the DIY (do-it-yourself) centre pieces, decorations, and flowers!

The guests were treated to an amazing view during the outdoor ceremony!

Aren’t they perfect?
Now on to the reception!

I love the enthusiasm from younger sister Shira for catching the bouquet!

Christian & Amber we wish you all the best for many many years to come!!
(next up, the day after session!)
