Well after hundreds, maybe thousands of hints towards Jamie about how much I wanted to go to the Cirque Du Soleil in Vancouver I think he finally caught on. The other day he showed up with an envelope with some Kooza tickets inside and I just had to share all of my excitement with you! I came home and Jamie handed me a piece of paper and  said “look at the advertisement we got in the mail” so I took this piece of paper that is advertising Kooza (thinking it was just a mean tease L) and I looked at the front and back and said “wow they really are advertising this lots this time aren’t they” and then I put it down. Then it clued into me… “Is this a ticket?!?” So cute, Jamie just smiled J For those of you who have never been you have to check the show out; if you are ever in Vegas there are many different shows to choose from. My goal is to see them all J. You can find more info out about Vancouver’s Cirque Du Soleil Kooza at http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/kooza/default.aspx

Yuki and Shogo’s wedding was so much fun and filled with so much love. We had first met with Shogo last year and when he told us the plans for the wedding (outside in the rose garden) we knew it was going to be a great wedding. The night before the wedding everyone, especially Yuki and Shogo, were so worried it was going to rain the next day (well this is what our weather man had said anyways). Lucky for everyone when Saturday came the skies cleared up and they had a beautiful sunny day, the ceremony was perfect!

After a few family pictures in the garden we headed to Rocky Point for some formal pictures. Everyone is so picture perfect and the flower girl was sooo adorable. Then it was time to change up the location and head down to a more funky place. We had so much fun here too – the guys were up for anything including jumping off a loading dock :) The reception was held at the Centennial Lodge and was filled with family and friends having a great time. And there were a few things planned that even the bride didn’t know about… The night was filled with tearful speeches and heartfelt gestures from their guests. Yuki’s grandmother treated the guests to a traditional Japanese dance – it was absolutely amazing! Then there was a very emotional flower ceremony… so beautiful. And my favorite part of the night, Shogo sang to his beautiful bride. It was fantastic! He pulled her on the dance floor (she had no idea he was going to do this by the way) and sang his version of “I could not ask for more”. I just love these two!!! Yuki’s sister and her daughter also had a surprise of there own as they put on a Michael Jackson number for the bride and groom that was so perfect, right down to some traditional Michael Jackson moves:) And if you thought that was all, nope, some of their friends and family put together a band and rehearsed especially for Yuki and Shogo’s wedding. Now that is true friendship…. Everyone was so filled with joy to see these to marry and it was an absolute joy for us to photograph. Yuki and Shogo, we wish you an eternity of happiness and thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day!

Thank you again Yuki and Shogo. Your wedding was filled with so much joy and love and we loved being invited to share it with you both!

We know we haven’t posted in a bit, but that’s because we were on vacation!!! We had a great time (pictures to come soon :) ), but now we are back and ready for what life is gonna bring us.

First up we wanted to share with you a family session we did not long before we went away. Meet the Sarvis’s. This family is so adorable! When we first met up with them they walked over to us in matching outfits!!!! And I loved it :) We started at a cute little water park (no water yet though) and then headed down to the beach.  Jr (their son) absolutely loved looking out at the water and Michaela (their daughter) was so excited to go play in the park after the session (of course we had to get some pictures of that too). Thank you again for letting us document your awesome family, we had a great time :) :)
