This was one wedding I could not WAIT to photograph. Mekayla is one of my closest friends, and anyone who knows her knows how kind, loving, and all-around genuine she is. So getting to photograph her wedding to Derrick, the love of her life, was one of the greatest joys of my photography career.

Here are some of my favourite moments from their wedding day:

Mik’s wedding dress, which was honestly the most perfect dress for her and fit her beautifully. The back of her dress, in particular, is amazing.
The sweet Yeti’s that Mik and Derrick gave to their bridal party as gifts
Derrick’s camo tie and pocket square that Mekayla got made specially for him
Their private and sweet first look at Campbell Valley park in the morning
The joyful, intimate 50 person wedding at Peace Arch park, which also had the best weather we could’ve asked for in October. Also, there were so many happy tears and emotional moments as they committed their lives to each other.
Spending time at Glass House Estate Winery with Mik, Derrick, and the rest of the bridal party. I loved it so much - it really brought the day together, allowed everyone to relax and enjoy each other’s company, and it gave Mik and Derrick time to soak in their wedding day.

I honestly had the best day with these two! Derrick and Mekayla are the perfect pair and I could not be happier that the two of them have found each other.
