When you shoot a lot of weddings you learn a lot about what makes weddings work out right.

Here is a list of some of my favorite venues, vendors, blogs and sources of inspiration.. None of these people have paid (or even asked me) to post these links.. I just think their work rocks!

Elizabeth at Lowe House Creative - Bay Area, CA
A wedding planner who is all about keeping you sane on your wedding day. She is an amazing resource and throws a killer party.


The Inn at Laurel Point – Victoria, BC
A beautiful modern hotel with awesome grounds and some of the best rooms in town. Every year I watch Canada Day fireworks from their penthouse and the atrium is equally breathtaking for a ceremony site.


Rook and Rose Floral Boutique - Victoria, BC.
Erica is awesome and has a super cute bulldog to boot! She is on the pulse with what is hot every season.


Verbena Floral Design –Victoria, BC.
These ladies know their flowers! And they are a hoot to work with. If you want amazing flowers look no further.


Merridale Estate Cidery, Cobble Hill, BC.
Not only do I love me some cider, I love this location for an outdoor summer wedding. Maybe because it reminds me of my grandpa's old farm.


J. Crew Wedding Dresses
For more budget minded brides I love J. Crews selection of dresses. And you don't have to wait six months for your dress to be made!


Home for the Honeymoon - Available in Canada and the USA
Do you want a bunch of stuff or are you looking for a home after you get married. If you want a home, Patricia and Christina have started the registry for you! More info about them can be seen on my blog here.


A Practical Wedding - Blog
There are a ton of wedding blogs out there, and I read a lot of them. But when i need a break from some of the insanity I head over to APW where I am reminded it's about the marriage, not just the party (though I love parties too).


Chris Buck – New York, NY.
This one has nothing to do with weddings, but he is my hero all the same. I love his style of photography and sense of humor.
