my sister came to visit me (& she brought snow)! we’re not technically blood related but i’ve known her my entire life, although she did have to live her first four months without me , i can only imagine how long those days felt. we were inseparable as kids , lived together in university, and then suddenly we both moved away to different cities. between long Toronto overlays & a bit of island hopping :: i’d say were makin’ it work!

if you already live on an island , why not meet up on another island? ☁️

i’ve rekindled my love of video editing over this past week. it’s amazing what time off & a couple personal projects can do!! releasing another little edit tomorrow featuring { small waves & big hearts } @grs.peculiar 🏄🏼‍♂️

the last frame is up & the dust has settled } we’ve finally finished moving out of our first island home & into our new nook!! it’s a beautiful little suite with tons of character, big windows, high ceilings, clawfoot tubs, & garden space. the second we saw it, we knew it’d be ours. some things are sure things. this is just a photo of an old greenhouse but if you’re wondering, our new coze feels a little something like this:⠀

${ pause | play }⠀ i've been stuck in a pause ; those gaps in time where you're all too busy moving in the wrong direction. i've seen today coming, gosh, i've bee waiting for it and not at all patiently. i'm finally here, i'm now, i'm in control of my choices, my year, my self. i'm pressing play again and moving forward into the vast unknowns :: filled with nothing & everything :: with a little more light and a lot more love.⠀ ~⠀ imagery taken at the @thekindleworkshop with @nicoleashley & @myrtleandmossphotography⠀ design & decor: @bezaire_event_design ⠀ vw bus: @alohafridayphotobus ⠀ hair & makeup: @behindtheblush ⠀ lovely lady: @goddessakamommy ⠀ necklaces: @shaktijewlery⠀ rings: @coastalalchemy⠀ swimwear: @3girlsswimwear$

{ people + portraits }
this is katie marti.
she plays with waves,
of the sound sort ,
a music maker.
~
i was lucky enough to film her last music video :: a @donovanwoods cover :: maybe you’ve already seen it & if you haven’t it’s just down below in my feed if you want a taste!! anywho, mister woods himself saw it (ahhhhh!) and referred to it as “beautiful” so i guess you could say we’re pretty stoked on the magic we’re making!!
~
we did a portrait session last week in her neighbourhood. she said she wanted to look & feel like herself so she threw on her favourite pieces and we went to her favourite spots & && apparently🤞🏼there might be some more music videos to come!! hang tight & enjoy this beautiful face + voice in the meantime :: check her out & go show her some love!! 🤙🏼

the joys if january include keeping up with all my editing, giving me time to get to those little lingering personal projects that have been patiently waiting to be brought to life :: today, i’m fooling around with some footage of these two , already husband & wife , playing bride & groom ; being all in love n’ stuff on the edge of the island ✨

$🤞🏼 the law of attraction is real. so friggin’ real. ~ i’ve been finding some exactly-what-i’ve-been-looking-for kinda inquiries in my inbox this month and i’m feeling so calm cool n’ collected about this next swing at moving my business forward on the island. taking things in a bit of a new direction this year. you’ll just have to wait and see!! ~ as rumi would say , :: {what you seek is seeking you} :: /\\\\ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ •⠀ #westcoastweddings #victoriawedding #radlovestories #bohowedding #bohemian #wildelopements #pnwedding #pnwwedding #theweddinglegends #firstandlasts #vancouverislandweddings #adventurebrides #loveintentionally #junebugweddings #vancouverislandelopement #elopementphotographer #elopementcollective #lookslikefilmweddings #intimatewedding #adventurouswedding #radlovestories #belovedstories #victoriaweddings #beyondthewanderlust #hippiebride #indiewedding #indiebride #dirtybootsandmessyhair #sharethelove #photobugcommunity$

back home, humbled by the holidays and settling into the calm of a shiny new year :: i began this year in the same way i began my last :: by sitting on the @discoveryear panel, a purposeful gap year program i’m a mentor for, sharing my story of how i went from pursuing a career i wasn’t passionate about to following my dreams of being a freelance creative on the west coast. it’s funny to think that where i am now is somewhere the high school version of me never believed i’d be. self high five!!⠀
~⠀
part of the process was updating my biography for them, answering big questions like “what motivates you the most in your work? and “what activity or experience outside of your career has had the greatest impact on your life?” :: i’m thoroughly enjoying starting my years in this reflective, introspective sort of way & i’m goofily already looking forward to speaking again. i wonder what wisdom i’ll have to share after this year?⠀

since saturday, we've been staying at the tiniest cabin with the coziest loft out in ucluelet :: surfing & storm watching :: slightly more storm watching than surfing due to the mighty swells rolling in from the huge storm but we’re heading back out into the surf soup this morning!🏄🏼‍♀️
