Well, this is a special one! Not only was I fortunate enough to have teamed up with some of the best vendors around, and have it featured on the front page of Style Me Pretty (um...can you say, dream come true?!!), but my future groom to be and I, got to be the models!! Talk about a wedding planners ultimate dream!

Adrian Michael, a fine art film photographer based in Victoria, approached me about doing a winter engagement styled shoot, back in early December. And seeing as his work is breathtaking ALWAYS, I of course jumped on the opportunity! Nick's & my engagement was still fairly new, and so when it was suggested that we in fact be the models, how could I say no!! With it being just a few weeks away from Christmas though, and the fact that things were getting busy for everyone involved, we decided to keep it on the simple side, and really highlight the natural beauty that can be found here on the west coast. As you can see, the results were insanely beautiful, and (as Style Me Pretty said) "leave you stunned and speechless".

Vanessa, of Verbena Floral Design killed it with ALL things florals, and Erin Bradley hung out by my side all morning, making sure I felt gorgeous. Thank you also to the extremely generous ladies of Blush Bridal Boutique, who loaned us the perfect Pronovias gown, as well as Tuktu Paper, who designed the most luxurious and winter inspired Save the Date I have ever seen!! And finally, thank's to my handsome fiance, for being always game for anything, and for keeping me nice and warm on that cold, cold wintery day! Here are a few of my favourite images, but definitely make sure to check out the full feature, on SMP!
