Victoria BC Bilston Creek Farm Wedding / Angela & Alex

Their wedding story

Three and a half years ago, Angela and Alex Angela met up on a blind date set up by Angela’s boss’s wife, Audrey. Audrey is a bright cheerful person, loves to be a match-maker (and had some success already in the past). Audrey is good friends with Alex’s dad (he has been heraccountant for many years). One day, the two were chatting about two very special single people they knew, and Audrey realized she may have another match on her hands. A casual weekend brunch date soon led both these two love birds to realizing they were made for each other. These two love hiking, food, food, and more good food with dessert… so, when it came time to plan their wedding, they didn’t need to look any further than Bilston Creek Farm, which has a killer on-site caterer. And I can tell you, the food was just as divine as the gorgeous lavender, which was perfectly in bloom on the day of this happy-making wedding celebration. This was such a happy, care-free day filled with love and joy. Congratulations Angela & Alex!

Feeling the love

“Oh my gosh Christina!!!!! Alex and I watched the slide show together and it made me cry!! All of the photos are so beautiful and you did such an amazing work!!! We loved all of the photos and they were exactly we were hoping for. My family watched it over and over last night! My mom especially loved all of the black and white photos and she said all of their “phone” photos did not justify that day but your photos captured everything so perfectly. The black and white photo of my brother and sis in law is so gorgeous and another black and white photos of the kids on a swing was like a photo from a magazine! So stunning!!! We really appreciate your beautiful work and we can’t wait to see more photos after a month! Thank you so so much again for capturing our moments in such a perfect way. No wonder you were ranked top in Canada and international several times! I’m just so so glad I found you and super happy with all of the photos!”
