We drove through the serpantine roads of Sunshine Coast, talking about exactly how much dancing we should expect from a Portuguese-Brazilian-Italian wedding full of beautiful people. We were right! What an amazing celebration…
I was really excited Rob & I would be Camila & Dan’s wedding photographers at Rockwater Secret Cove Resort on the breathtaking Sunshine Coast of British Columbia also for a tiny selfish reason… My birthday would fall on the day after their wedding, August 1st. I knew it would be the bestest excuse to spend the day only with my best friend, partner, lover, and handsomest second shooter, in the serene surroundings of the resort grounds. Having that to look forward to made the weekend that much sweeter.
But Camila and Dan might have been looking forward to this Big Day even more… and it was finally here. I could sense their shallow breaths as the isle shortened between them. Greeted by the awesome marriage commissioner’s Greg Soohen’s encompassing smile, they trembled to exchange vows. At least I think they trembled. I have to confess, I get so wrapped up and emotional sometimes, that I hold my breath at least until they kiss. And then I just want to make them kiss over and over again… So I might be a bit off on the ‘trembling’ part 
I’ll let the images below tell the story, but I do want to draw your attention to the tenthouse suites you’ll see towards the end - if there was a picture beside the word ‘romantic’ in the dictionary, it would have to be of these mind-blowing accommodations and ocean view. The only thing to annoy you during this paradise retreat would be the adorable racoons!!

I love this image… Shot through the glass pane of the front door to their honeymoon tenthouse suite.

I love this shot Rob took. I seriously need to give and get a hundred hugs a day… so brides beware 
The first look at Schooner Cove Yacht Club in Nanoose Bay… I get goosebumps just sitting here and blogging these special moments! 
I just love this. If I remember correctly, the tune at the moment is ‘What is love, baby don’t hurt me‘ and Rob is rolling his eyes at me 
I was debating whether I should post this since I kinda look like a beached whale here… But totally - don’t you want to know how I got those splinters? :) 
A quick nap before the ceremony never hurt anyone… That’s how hard I worked the groom!
More beautiful reception details…
This gorgeous bouquet was an inspiration from my 
I love this one… It felt like the walls were about to cave in!
Rob found a little girlfriend on the dancefloor… She must have been 4 going on 19. Here’s his ‘flirty’ face…
And the beloved Black Forest cake! They are lucky to have forgotten napkins - I would’ve been encouraging them to get much messier 
Here’s my beautiful man in action 
How cool is this? Not sure if both of them find it amusing though!
More golf cart fun - Rob hanging off the side on the way to our ‘first look’ spot. Yep, he lives on the wild side like that!
The ceremony on the Jasper Golf Course was so touching … but this moment really pushed me over the edge.
These ladies were too much fun. Legendary fun!

Here’s Rob breathing down my neck for this shot… Love love love. 
Here’s my favourite sushi comfort food place, with an alluring name ‘Yummy to Go,’ just across the street from my sweet English Bay apartment. Jamie & Jon waiting for their bubble teas…
Who could say ‘no’ to a gorgeous bride on her wedding day?! Certainly not this bus driver!
