Photography is a really important part of your wedding day planning. After all the flowers have faded and the dress put away, all you really have left is your pictures. Wedding photographers know this and take their responsibilities seriously. We know this is a one time deal, no do overs, no rescheduling due to bad…

Sylvia and Sean are a match made in heaven. They met at the Victoria Flying Club and both are working toward their commercial pilot’s licence. Sean adores Sylvia in the way every woman dreams of. He has been known to carry her purse. He even followed her all the way to Vietnam, where she was…

[...] Ornaments, lights, stockings are all a part of the holiday, but my favourite tradition is attending the annual Nativity Pageant at Topaz Park. I finally feel in the Christmas Spirit after attending this event. This year Mary and Joseph were played by one of my favourite couples, Sean and Sylvia. [...]
Syl was the most beautiful bride! I am truly blessed to have her as my friend, good luck to the both of them.

Love,

Thanks, Tina. Sometimes I think it would be easier to have a work-a-day job just to not go through these emotions. But then I would be living an unlived life. I would not be whole. You do beautiful work, and I’m often in awe of your creations. Passion certainly drives what we do.
Your last post struck my heart! Being an artist of some sort myself, I too am found in the same nervous state everytime I do a floral drop off OR a pick up for a large or even the smallest event, always fine tuning and re-thinking my ideas, making sure every bloom is in the exact location! I just love what I do and I know you do to Deanna, thats why we must feel this way, because of the pure passion behind our work, the strong connection we have with it and our drive to succeed….ah love it

You make me want to cry, and being an artist myself, I FEEL THE SAME WAY. Everytime I drop off and set up all my florals for a wedding OR a pick -up from the brides family, I get so nervous they will hate my flowers, but everytime, they look at me and tell me they are the most beautiful thing they have ever seen……
