We photographed an intimate elopement in storm and sun on Sombrio Beach.
Candice and Cory had a lot of challenges up until the d-day of their wedding! In the middle of the pandemic, their wedding plans had to change completely. Finally, they found the best solution: getting married on a beautiful West Coast beach with only their closest family! But this plan B had to change again as the Botanical Beach was closed (bear issue). Until the very last day before the wedding, our couple was still unsure about the exact location of their ceremony. We couldn’t imagine the stress, but strangely, when we met Candice and Cory for the getting ready in Port Renfrew, they were at peace and so happy!
“This couple was the most relaxed and funny ever!”
“The ceremony was at Sombrio beach, the favourite surfers’ beach in the south of Vancouver Island. ”
“And love so easy to see on the eyes of the bride and the groom.”
“Emotions were there, at all time!”
“When you choose Vancouver Island, you can expect plenty of surprises! The weather changed very quickly and a storm arrived right after the ceremony. We had just enough time to capture this amazing moment that showed how strong the wind and the rain really was. I was crouching in front of the couple, finding it impossible to stand up on my own.”
“And then the calm came back...maybe it was an allegory to married life.”
“A few minutes later, once the storm left, we had this magical and dramatic sky with birds flying in the light. We’ve never seen such an amazing sky and we thanks our couple who trust us enough to stay and wait under the rain. ”
“An unexcepted guest offers two pink martini to our couple! Only on the West Coast :)”
“Engagement tattoos made in Hawaii, final details of that perfect day and that perfect lovestory. ”
“Ending on the so peaceful rainforest of Vancouver Island.”
