3 weddings in a week!


What a week!

My couple yesterday came from Vancouver and climbed all over rocks and barnacles on Chestermans Beach to get just the right background for one of Chris' panoramics, in high heels to boot! Brett and Michelle just called me on Thursday to see if we could pull this wedding of by this weekend and sure enough we did.

sinking in the sand!

Cold Feet !



I had so much fun with Amanda and Mike, some couples come through a lot to be where they are and i am so thrilled to be a part of their Happy Day. Rev Joan has an amazing way with words, Chris Pouget did his magic with his camera, it almost seems like an extra appendage and the weather co-operated as you can see.



Claudia and Dirk came all the way from Germany!
This couple have been together for 16 years and boy did they emanate fun and love, Chris Pouget did not have to work too hard to make them smile or pose as they were naturals. This is why so many couples are electing to Elope, they can relax, and have fun....

      So much Fun!

Couples from Afar, Eloping in Tofino....

The Look of Love!
In the last week, I have had the pleasure of meeting 2 different couples from England and Germany. Both of them  excited to be getting married in Tofino and having a small, intimate, romantic wedding with no fuss. And today I was asked how fast I could organize a wedding for another couple wishing to Elope. With extended families being more common now, more couples are deciding to get married but their way with no family politics or hassles. Brides are more relaxed and apt to be generally more adventurous with posing for pics that if their families were around would not, they will walk in the ocean, climb over rocks to the perfect beach and smile like no-one is watching. It is very interesting to try speaking German that I have not used since high school or be able to relate to places in Britain that I know from growing up and my visits there. It still amazes me how I ended up finding Tofino, living here and how others wish to say " I DO" here in one of the most romantic venues in the world!

Love Is !

The Look!

Visualize nervous but excited groom standing waters-edge with 2 perfect circles of love nestled deep in his pocket. He looks up and misses a breath as a suddenly shy but loving bride is desperately seeking his look of everlasting Love..These are the moments I witness....Magic moments!

Gift Baskets for The Honeymoon Suite

West Coast Gift Basket
One of the great things about my job is that it is versatile. I not only plan weddings for groups of 2 to 300 out here in either Tofino or Ucluelet at a variety of resorts for all budgets and styles. I also can make and deliver West Coast Gift Baskets totally unique as they are all custom designed just for the special person receiving it. The products that I fill the basket with mostly come from local Island Merchants and as fresh as I can get it.
I pick up Tofino Chocolates same day as they are made as well as Humous from Beaches Grocery Store. A fresh sourdough baguette and Qualicum Cheese go well with a chunk of locally Smoked Salmon finished of with a great BC Wine or Beer. This particular basket was for a family so to make it a little more exciting I put in a small chocolate fondue filled with local berries/chocolate/extra fruit for dipping and some Island Port for the Adults..Mmmmmmmm!
