Brianna and Chris’s wedding at a stunning farm near Duncan on Vancouver Island felt like stepping into a chapter of their family story. A chapter that had been forming long before the wedding day arrived. When they first hired me, Brianna was still pregnant with Layla, dreaming of the moment they would one day look back on their wedding film as a family. Fast forward to their wedding day, and there she was, almost one year old, wide-eyed, curious, and surrounded by the love that had grown so naturally around her. Watching her parents say “I do” with her in their arms felt incredibly full-circle.

The farm itself was picturesque in that warm, nostalgic way only Vancouver Island can offer. Rolling fields, soft sunlight cutting across the grass, towering trees framing every moment. It was a place that felt alive, expansive, and deeply grounding. The laughter of guests, the joy in Brianna and Chris’s eyes, and the presence of their daughter made everything feel rich with meaning. Their day wasn’t just a celebration of marriage; it was a celebration of family, growth, and the beautiful journey they’ve already begun together.

What made their story even more special was knowing that their wedding film would become more than just a keepsake. This is the film Layla will grow up watching, seeing her parents promise forever, seeing herself held close on one of the happiest days of their lives. One day, she’ll understand the emotion behind their smiles, the warmth in every moment, and how deeply loved she was even before she could remember it. And as their family grows, this film becomes a living memory, something to be shared with future children and future generations.

Capturing days like this is important in ways that go far beyond the visuals. Weddings hold chapters of people’s lives, stories that deserve to be remembered exactly as they felt. The emotion, the love, the people who were there, the beginnings and the milestones. Brianna and Chris’s wedding wasn’t just filmed; it was preserved. A piece of their family history, held safely so that decades from now, they can press play and relive a day filled with meaning, joy, and the start of a lifetime together.
