Ok… I admit it. I’m totally biased but this little one is so delicious. As if I wouldn’t already be completely smitten, she had to go and be the perfect baby model. Twist, turn, flip… she slept through it all. Amazing. My brother and sister in law were also brave enough to let me have […]

I was so excited when Lisa approached me to photograph her vow renewal. It was her and Anthony’s dream to go back to the beginning of their marriage and celebrate the changes, the good experiences, the challenges overcome, and the fact that they are still very much in love. Weddings are truly wonderful, to be able […]

And we loved it!! What an incredible setting to begin a new life together. A beautiful gazebo, constructed by the groom and his Dad, handmade benches, a warm fire, friends, family, and so many special touches. This wedding was unique, not only in it’s location but also in the way that the couple and their families […]

Another beautiful BC evening… perfect for an engagement session with a lovely couple. Engagement sessions are so perfect for getting a sense of who the couple is, what their story is and what their wedding day will be like. Stay tuned in the fall for this couple’s adventurous wedding! We’re excited!!
It was an incredible April day with an amazing location and such fun people. Family and friends rallied to support the couple and brought the day to perfection. There were so many special, personal touches that made this wedding unique and unforgettable.
What a privilege to photograph Andrew and Linda’s wedding. Linda and I worked together in ICU at Children’s Hospital and developed a relationship around our work, our cameras and our faith! I remember one particular conversation when Linda told me she had photographed weddings in the past. I was in awe and thought….. I’ll NEVER do that….. 🙂
Thank you so much for letting us be a part of this once in a lifetime day. We feel so honored to have witnessed your faith-filled vows and to be there at the start of this, your new adventure.
Thank you to Jessica Singh and the staff at Steamwork for all your hard work.
Feel free to leave Linda and Andrew a comment here!

We had so much fun running in the park with this beautiful family. Vibrant kids, a warm sunny day, adorable outfits (the LACE!!) and we had a winner. These children really captured our hearts! Keep an eye out for the photo bomb….
Weddings are emotional. Family, friends… the couple. I often walk away and wonder if our photographs can actually capture each moment in a way that will inscribe these memories for a lifetime.
Kieran and Sarah’s wedding was so calm and loving and meaningful. It really was the kind of day that takes some time to absorb, the kind of day I hope they can look back on and see it as a beautiful starting point for a lifetime. From the vows, to the prayers, to the charge by our pastor, each part of the ceremony declared their love for Christ and their dependance on Him to strengthen and sustain their new marriage.
So exciting and worth celebrating!
And they did celebrate! From the spontaneous serenade in the park (from the groomsman), to their little sister getting busted at the reception (check out the photos!), to the wild musical chairs game courtesy of the wedding party and a lively dance …. it was a fun, full day.
Blessing on you, Kieran and Sarah, as you seek to honor Christ in your marriage! We love you guys!
Meeting Matt and Meagan was such a blessing! It is such an exciting time of anticipation and wonder as they wait for a new member of the family to arrive. We loved how they just relaxed into the session, enjoyed each other (snuggling up for warmth!), and allowed us to capture this precious time.
Praying for you both as you await the arrival of your new baby! Boy or Girl? Any guesses??

Merry Christmas to each and everyone of you. To those who have trusted me with your memories this year…. thank you. I know these moments are precious and I feel honored to be chosen to capture them. If you’re stopping by for a look, thank you! The internet is a busy place and I appreciate […]
What an incredible fall day! It looked like we would freeze (I had a couple of layers on!) but the sun was shining and warm. The west coast is amazing!
Maternity sessions are extra fun with a toddler and Sir J kept us busy and entertained for sure. My daughter came along for toddler support and had a blast chasing this little guy all over! Not sure he knows what heading his way but he’s sure to be a spunky older bro!! Thanks for a great morning Suman and Preet. Looking forward to meeting your new little one! (PS. Suman is a RN… we worked that into the photos….)
As promised, I’m trying to catch up on my neglected blogs posts! Susie and I work together at Abbotsford Hospital and we all had a fun and active session running after their beautiful boys!! Susie is a Child Life Specialist which means she’s a nurses’ best friend (and the kids…. and the parents’…..) when it comes to helping our small patients through some of the scary things that happen in the hospital. So she came prepared! We blew bubbles, ran, jumped, yelled a little bit, had an Ultimate Frisbee demonstration by young sir and generally had an “exhaustedly” good time! The last photo pretty much sums it up…. 🙂

WHAAAAT?? Reboot the dress…..? You bet! Remember that beautiful dress you bought and loved and wore for one short day? Why not haul it out and give it new life?? Thanks to my lovely sister in law’s suggestion, that’s just what we did. Advantages to having a photog in the fam… photo sessions. Disadvantages… waiting […]

Little girls are a bit of a specialty for me… I hate to brag but apparently that’s all we do in my house… LOTS OF GIRLS!! My poor husband… I just loved this little wee girl! Her hair! Her lips and those CHEEKS!! She is a stunner. And with a personality to match. No way […]

Thanks for your patience everyone! It’s been a LONG time since my last post so I’m hoping to do some catch up in the next few months. This little guy just about got photographed twice. His Mom contacted me for a session and so did her friends. I was happy to let this little coincidence […]

Welcome to the wild weather of the wet (?) coast! Despite Heather and I planning thoroughly… we booked two dates… and feeling like we were prepared for all eventualities… except for blizzards… the weather almost got us. However, being the tough, get-er-done women that we are, we dragged our men out into the weather and […]

Okay… so this.. was… fun.. Two beautiful people (yes.. you guys are… in and out), two amazing locations (grandparents’ properties), a lovely evening = a successful engagement session. Boats, forests, streams, we had it all! This session should definitely have a behind the scenes follow up… you should have seen Orlando in the paddle boat […]

Happy Family Day! It’s been a quiet but somewhat perfect day around our home so far… a little sleep in, a little snow, some french toast and a family snuggle on the couch while we cheered on the Canadian Olympic Women’s Hockey team! Lovely. We hope you are enjoying a relaxing family day as well! […]

What a day, what a DAY!! A good old fashioned, west coast wind and rain storm decided to show up to celebrate Jackie and Mario’s day! From windstorms threatening to blow away wedding tents, to pouring, driving rain the weather was NOT going to cooperate. No matter… this was a day to be enjoyed, a […]

Was it really ever this warm?? This time of year I tend to forget! Caleb and Julia had an amazing warm September wedding. Lots of family, loads of friends and everyone working together to make sure all the details were perfect.

But she beat me! The little princess made her appearance 3 weeks early (her momma was relieved and grateful)! However…. I still have to share some of their beautiful maternity photos. I think her big sisters are trying to steal the show! Stay tuned for newborn photos!

One thing I love about our business is that most of our clients are people that we have direct connections to. We feel so blessed to be able to work with people who are so kind make our “work” so enjoyable. This wedding was incredible. There was such a peace about the day. Ryley… you have […]

I love urban photography sessions!! Buildings, sunlight, railroad tracks, sidewalks, brick buildings, bridges… yikes! I could have gone on and on and on during this session. Nothing like a “new” location to get creative juices flowing. Thanks for the laughs Jackie and Mario. Bring on the hats! We can’t wait to shoot your wedding in […]

Ever wonder why we photographer types like to shoot in the evening?? There is something beautiful about the golden hour, just before sunset. Skin tones are warm, creation glows and we are able to use the light for creative effects! Caleb and Julia took us to Mill Lake for their engagement shoot… to the place […]

When we moved to Mission I was a little bit hesitant… to say the least. I love big cities. I love the vibe, the busy-ness, the always seeing new people. I love the access to the arts and culture and the ability to walk out your door and find something to do. However… I have […]

Tis the season but NOT for Christmas. Although… there were a few rainy days this spring that made me dig out my warm sweaters and have a little pre-summer pity party! 🙂 Alas! That is forgotten!

What an honor to photograph these two wonderful people!

I had the privilege of taking these two gorgeous sisters out on a beautiful warm evening and fun was had! Their closeness and bubbly personalities definitely resulted in a lot of laughs!

I love music. It has always been in my blood and although my days of taking lessons and playing regularly are over (for now), I absolutely love hearing world class music played in my home! Who wouldn’t?? One of the wonderful things about having a violin luthier living on the property is being able to meet […]

What a sweet little guy he is. Now that my babies are growing up, it is so precious to spend some time with the brand new, tiny variety! Baby Keatin wasn’t so sure about the whole photo idea but once we got him settled in all cozy, he quietly drifted off to sleep and we […]

This was another beautiful fall wedding! They are sometime risky where the weather is concerned but Danielle and Bryson were blessed with sunshine at all the right times. Just as we were wrapping up our outdoor location, it started to POUR! Thanks to some helpful strangers and a quick thinking groomsman (thanks Aaron!), the couple […]

You know those glorious fall days? Right before it gets cold? I love it when the leaves are starting to turn but the sun is still warm on my skin. This was the kind of day we met Darren and Kristie to photograph their beautiful family. Thanks guys! We had a great time with you.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Family, friends, cooler weather and some moments set aside to remember how much we have to be thankful for. We are really very blessed.

Have I said this before? I LOVE witnessing unfolding love stories.

You see, Danielle and Bryson have known each other for quite some time. Don’t you love that? I can see them […]

Engagement sessions are some of my favorite sessions to shoot.

You might remember my beautiful colleague Stacey and her husband Brian. We had an amazing maternity session with them and now…. HE’S HERE!!!!

Jen is my fabulous massage therapist and I was so thrilled when she commissioned us to photograph her family. One of my favorite moments…. Jen’s son, Noah says to me, “So.. if I were a model I’d be making money right now?” Gotta love a future business man and entrepreneur! It was great to meet […]

On a cool, crisp day what is better than chasing twins to keep warm? These two monkeys ran and ran while Mom and I made complete sillies out of ourselves to get just the right shot. We laughed and enjoyed the energy and curiosity that comes with being two.

When I think of this couple, two words come to mind… Outdoor Adventurers! These two take “active lifestyle” to a whole new level. Mountain biking, winter camping, hiking, you name it, they love it! Ever since I’ve known Mel, the outdoors is where she loves to be. When she told me that Jason proposed on […]
How can I describe this wedding?
Between the amazing venues, the childhood friends, the personal, meaningful details, the supportive families and the uberexcited bride and groom this was a truly great day!! As I’ve been preparing these pictures, I’ve been struck by the incredible emotion and love captured.
Denise is my stepsister and I feel so privileged to be a part of her day. We are stepsisters because we both lost a parent to cancer and now her beautiful Mom is married to my Dad. As a tribute to her Dad, Denise had his ring incorporated into her bouquet. He would have been honored. At the reception we heard the most encouraging and loving speeches. How amazing to hear the friends and family of the couple speak so highly of them, to laugh with them but most of all to encourage them in their new marriage.
Look carefully…. there are some amazing moments.
Thanks Denise and Evan! We had a blast photographing your day.
Feel free to leave the couple a comment! Looking for more? Scroll Down… for Denise and Evan’s Preview post.
Which to choose? This particular evening was one of those rare, magical fall evenings when everything comes together perfectly
…. colors, light, location and a couple that’s only a little bit hot!! Mel and I used to work together and she’s become a great friend.
We’ve been talking about doing this shoot since she and Jason got engaged last winter
and I’m thrilled that it finally worked out. So many great pics to come.. stay tuned!
PS… Like this? Facebook me at Lorelei Photography or www.loreleiphotography.com

Ahh… Edmonton! My hometown!! October is a time for cool weather, changing leaves, brisk winds and a spectacular wedding. I had the privilege of shooting my stepsister’s wedding a couple of weeks ago. They booked some amazing venues and this is just a quick sneak peek at what’s to come!
Apparently, Denise’s co-workers were dying to see pictures of her dress…. Here you go guys! The dress was unbelievable and she was beyond stunning.
Hope you guys had a wonderful honeymoon! More to come!!
In just a few weeks, I will be so excited to photograph the wedding of a family friend. Her parents have known my parents… forever! Before either of them got together, before either of US were even a thought! They stood up for each other at their weddings, they encouraged and prayed for each other through some very dark days. We prayed for them as they served overseas at a Bible School. So, even though I haven’t even seen my friend since we were young children, I feel like we are friends. History friends.
So my full circle will come when I can be a part of her special day and capture memories that will last forever.
Something tells me my Mom would be smiling.
I love surprises! When my Uncle said, “Hey Lorelei… wanna to take pictures of my friend’s baby?”,
who knew I’d get to meet such an adorable wee girl (and her gorgeous mama!)??
Take a peek at this sweetie!
See? Adorable!!! Dad… you’d better get your shotgun out on the porch!! 🙂
My absence from blogging hasn’t been due to a lack of photos to share with you all!
My brother and his beautiful bride Nicole were married at the end of August on a gorgeous summer day.
I was able to enjoy the day…. NOT taking pictures…. except for the reception….
For those of you waiting anxiously for your pictures! They’re coming!!! Thanks for your patience!!
Every Mother knows this feeling…. I can’t believe my baby is turning ONE!
Not sure where the year has gone but she’s been such a gift and a joy to us. AND she’s incredibly easy to photograph.
I pull out my camera and she smiles. Any bets on how long that’s going to last?
This may or may not have been taken just before naptime… I’ll let you decide!
If you like what you see on my blog why not give me a “like”?! 🙂
What a spectacular day! Gorgeous bride, handsome groom, fun friends and family, adorable wee boy,
and special handcrafted touches all made for an amazing day for Jen & Kyle….
Not to mention Cultus Lake docks almost abandoned!
We had a great time being part of your day.
Thanks to Orlando (my husband) and David Philps for shooting with me. Couldn’t do it without you guys!
Congratulations Jen and Kyle!
I’m madly editing Josh and Kara’s wedding and couldn’t resist sharing one (or two) more pics from their day. Thanks to my uncle Dave Philps and my great husband Orlando for helping me on this day…more than help actually… couldn’t do it without you guys. Thanks also to Josh’s grandparents who gave us full access to their amazing property. We had beautiful lawns, rock features, a pool, stone benches, and an amazing western facade to work with. They even let me up on their private balcony!
Here’s one of the wedding party that I absolutely love:
Kara arrived on a horse and carriage to see Josh for the first time. A very special moment for them!! Afterwards we took advantage of the beautiful carriage…
Here’s a few of the kids that were in the wedding party! Just for the Oma’s/Grandma’s/Mommy’s and Daddy’s in the crowd!!
These two are so adorable but can someone let me know if I actually posted one of Eden and one of Cassidy….
I’m getting better in person but in pictures these two are hard to tell apart!!
Well… Josh and Kara must have prayed long and hard because their Saturday in June was the first sunny one of the year!! What a great day it was… lots of laughs, beautiful sunshine, friends, family, and a surprise or two along the way. Something tells me these two will have an exciting life together.
Congrats! Enjoy your preview!!
