UBC Botanical Wedding

SOPHIE + SIMON

WEDDING SESSION

Some love stories take a little time to unfold, and Sophie and Simon’s journey is the perfect example. Growing up just blocks away from each other, they shared years of friendship before Simon finally made the move that changed everything. What Sophie thought was a casual “friend date” turned into the beginning of something truly special.

Fast forward six years, and these two decided to tie the knot in the breathtaking setting of UBC Botanical Gardens. When Sophie and Simon reached out to me, they shared that their vision for the day was all about balance—relaxed and fun, yet polished and organized. They wanted a day where their love for each other and their closest friends and family could truly shine.

As their photographer, my goal was to capture the real-life moments and raw emotions that made their day so unique. From the joyful tears during the ceremony to the laughter-filled reception, every moment was a testament to the deep connection these two share. The lush greenery of UBC Botanical Gardens provided the perfect backdrop, with nature’s beauty complementing the love and happiness radiating from Sophie and Simon.

What made this day even more special was the sense of community and closeness that filled the air. You could feel the love and support from everyone who had gathered to celebrate Sophie and Simon’s next chapter. It was a day where memories were made, not just for the couple, but for everyone who was lucky enough to be a part of it.

If there’s one thing I’ll always remember about Sophie and Simon’s wedding, it’s the way they looked at each other—a look that said, “We’ve known each other forever, but this is just the beginning.” And that’s exactly what I aimed to capture in every shot!
