Oh gosh, heidi! HOW do you do it? I keep exclaiming to my husband, ” I just don’t get it! EVERY SINGLE PICTURE is a work of art!” I seriously wonder how long it will take me to bring my average of great pictures per shoot up to where yours is. You are a gifted photographer and the Lord has really blessed you with the ability to see beauty in every moment and share it with the rest of us. Blessings for 2012. Thanks for sharing!
Pick one favorite? This whole year has been my favorite! You have never ceased to delight with vibrant, magical photos that bring divine pause into every day so I can gasp and say, “Wow, God.” You are spectacular.
So thankful for all the moments that will be forever remembered in the photos you took of our family this year! So thankful you are not only a photographer, but a friend to all of us whose lives you have touched. Wishing you blessings and many happy photo shoots in the coming year!
These leave me speechless….you have such an amazing talent. Can’t wait to see what you create in 2012!

9-10-11. Capturing a couple’s wedding love story is such an exciting, adrenaline pumping, privilege for me. Each wedding day I shoot is always unique from the last. Sure there are some traditions that remain the same throughout most ceremonies….but there are plenty of times where the couple ops to switch it up, and do things [...]

What a unique, beautiful wedding! They look great.
BEAUTIFUL captures ! What a fun wedding !
What an amazing outdoor wedding….I loved everything, all the details, little and small. The colors, Red & Turquoise….The couple looked beautiful. The property of the wedding was so amazing, all the greens, the water. Your photos were amazing that you captured. Stunning, and enjoyed seeing those pictures.

These photos are honestly, just soo great. You captured the story, the essence of the day, the light….awesome photography.
LOVE! I can’t express how thankful we are that it was you who was there for our daughter and son-in-law’s special day. I KNEW you would capture the feeling of each moment, the wedding party, the guests, the venue…. Thank you!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the photos!! Heidi you did an awesome job capturing our day! You captured every single detail and I’m so happy that you did – it was fun looking through these and seeing all the little “moments”. I love the photos of me and Collin. Thank you!!!
Beautiful photography of a beautiful couple and their special day! I have a daughter that says she’d love to have you do her wedding photography someday. But, alas, we live on the other coast.
I’m so sorry we missed their big day but I felt like I was there with all these amazing photos. I heard the spot was fabulous and your photos are incredible!
What beautiful pictures, as always, Heidi! You really know how to tell a story with your camera! I think I recognized almost everyone in those pictures, too. They’re all from the church I grew up in… I’d love to know how you’re connected

Great job Heidi. I love these videos…
AMAZING! Where were you when I got married?! These two are going to treasure this forever.
I really really love this, I especially like the still shots mixed in. Maybe even more of them… I will give a small critique that the live voice of the vows stopped the flow a bit for me. But it is a beautiful memory of the day for the couple and all who attended.
Absolutely gorgeous!! Beautiful way to tell the story, just amazing.
In a vivid & lush backyard in Vancouver, on one of the hottest days of the year, with family and friends, homemade wine and music, Jennifer & Rick joined their lives together forever. August 20th, 2011, was spectacular. Thank you for letting me be a part in portraying your love story. {View Jennifer & Ricks [...]

Those two are so cute I just want to squish their cheeks!!!
And Heidi, NO ONE tells a love story like you can. And by that I mean NO ONE!! I don’t understand how so much talent and creativity can all fit in one person!
Oh and that big picture of the couple sitting in the field with their arms around eatchother took my breath away! I just sat there and stared at it. If I was them I would order that in a GIANT canvas.
Absolutely STUNNING wedding photos! They were so blessed to have such a talented photographer capture their beautiful day!!
Beautiful work! I love all of the details and the moments you captured in the ceremony photos. I’m a fan!
OH MY GOODNESS HEIDI!!!! these are just devine. LOVE LOVE LOVE – my idea of a perfect wedding and they absolutely look like a perfect couple!

I couldn’t stop looking at these beautiful wedding photos!! So many unexpected images….adorable couple! Loved all the small “touches” that you were able to capture Heidi.
Wow, what a day. I still can’t believe all of these details are from a single wedding. Way to take fantastic photos of an amazing bride and groom!!
This looks like a super fun wedding! Great job!!!
July 16th, 2011 was absolutely perfect. The setting at St. Josef’s Winery was green and gorgeous. Soothing melodies carried in the air from the on-site string instrumentalists. Rain began to trickle down as the guests made their way to their seats, but no rain shower would stop what was about to take place. Two lives [...]
