Rileigh and Kelly's fall Wedding at Starlight lane Winery and the University Club

My connection to Raleigh actually goes way back, we went to the same elementary school and I was actually in a couple of classes with her older brother.

 But it wasn’t until my younger brother got together (and later married) her best friend that I got the chance to meet both Raleigh and her then-boyfriend Kelly. 

These two make an adorable pair, and I could tell after our engagement session together that the wedding was going to be easy and enjoyable. The weather threatened us on the big day but once the ceremony started at Starling Lane the sun broke through the clouds and the rain held off for most of the rest of the day.

 I had never been to Starling Lane in the fall and the color palette was totally different but still beautiful as ever. Before heading to the reception at Uvic’s University Club we spent some time at the beach in Gordon Head and were treated with a wonderful autumn color palette on the University grounds. Here are so favorites from their big day!

ALICIA & BRANDON’S WEDDING AT MERRIDALE CIDERY IN MILL BAY, BC

I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia at Amanda & Lyall’s wedding last year; She was a Bridesmaid and little did I know at the time that she had just gotten engaged a few days prior! So with her upcoming nuptials in mind, she was paying extra attention during the whole day to all the vendors and how we worked and I’m thrilled that she contacted me shortly afterward to shoot hers and Brandon’s big day!

As with Amanda and Lyall’s wedding, I had the pleasure of working alongside Chelsea from Paper Heart Films for the day who is always such a sweetheart to work with. We started off at one of her friends’ vacation homes in Shawnigan Lake before heading up to the beautiful Merridale Ciderworks for the ceremony and reception.

It was wet and chilly but Alicia and Brandon braved the cold without complaint, and Brandon even took a fall in the mud at one point. These two are warm, kind, genuine people whose families are of utmost importance to them and I had a pleasure work with them every step of the way. Here are a few favorites!
