In the heart of the breathtaking wilderness of Egmont, British Columbia, lies a hidden haven known as Chatterbox Falls. This secluded gem recently played host to a romantic and intimate elopement that unfolded on a magical rainy day. Against the backdrop of cascading waterfalls and mist-laden forests, a couple embarked on a journey of love and commitment, creating memories that would forever be etched in the heart of Egmont's enchanting landscape.
I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah + Aaron in May when I photographed their Pitt Lake elopement (which I am realizing I need to blog as well) From the moment I met them we hit it off and had the best time traveling up to the tippy top of a local mountain in a helicopter. After their elopement, Sarah contacted me for a post wedding session at the Loft Garden Oasis in Vancouver. Again, we had such a blast and created some of my favourite images from 2019. We will be creating more magic in 2020 and I can not wait. Here is what Sarah had to say about her gallery from this session:
“I was speechless as I looked through the photos. Did I ever tell you that you’re officially my photographer for life? Because you are. I think you’ve found your true calling with this career. Every photo and emotion is captured so genuinely. And your editing style is amazing!! Thank you Laura!!!!”
Franky: I remember noticing Noah across the pool deck at an out of town swim meet when I was in the seventh grade. There was something about him that drew me in. It wasn't a looks thing (he had a mowhawk at the time- not a fan of those), but just something inside me told me that I should get to know him. I was too shy at the time to approach him, so I thought I would never see him again. I didn't know his name or if he was even from my town. The next swim season, my eighth grade year, we had a few new people join and he happened to be one of them, but without the mowhawk.Noah: I remember walking out of practice one day and noticing two girls laughing on the bench. There was something about one of them. She had a laugh that made me want to get her know her more, and happily a few months later I did.Our houses are connected by a Greenbelt and we both couldn't drive at this time, so we would ride our bikes to meet each other halfway at the pond/park. On August 24th, 2014 at sunset, Noah asked me to be his girlfriend and we've been together since. Now we plan on getting married five years later from that same date at the same place.We believe everything about our love story is unique. We are SO lucky to have found each other at such a young age. We know a lot of people are apprehensive about young couples "lasting," but we believe from the depths of our souls that we are meant to be together. “
This was the email I received from “Froah” in February of this year. I was ecstatic to meet them and capture the love they share. They traveled all the way from Kentucky to the Sunshine Coast, BC, Canada for their couples session. I couldn’t even handle their cuteness. Young love makes me so emotional.
Nestled in the heart of Egmont, BC, Raina and Darnell celebrated their love story against the breathtaking backdrop of Westcoast Wilderness Lodge. Their intimate wedding unfolded with a picturesque ceremony overlooking the tranquil inlet, witnessed by close family and friends. Throughout the day I captured their journey, from the stunning views of the ceremony to the radiant glow in the forest and the serene beauty of the inlet waters at the Back Eddy Resort.
