Pipers Lagoon Wedding, Nanaimo BC | Ali & Joel

I love my job. It has allowed me to be reunited with old friends, to capture days like this Pipers Lagoon wedding. I’ve known Ali since we were 11, and were once upon a time, partners in crime during our teens. To witness her marry Joel was super special.

Ali & Joel live in Toronto, but they decided to have their wedding at her parents house in Nanaimo. Across the road from Pipers Lagoon, with a view of the ocean and coastal mountains in the distance. An absolutely awesome setting for this DIY wedding. Joel delivered one of the sweetest speeches to his wife I have ever heard, his love for her in words that had me in tears. The amount of contagious laughter and giggles that was shared amongst them and their guests is what I loved most. A huge congratulations to both of you and thank you for giving me the honour of documenting this day. xo
