Vows in the Valley

Amber of Amber James Photography filled us in on this beautifully styled shoot.  

“This incredible and misty (ok, downright rainy) Pacific Northwest-style elopement in the Cowichan Valley was more than we could have imagined. What was looking like a sunny day quickly changed to rain, and we welcomed beautiful, moody weather. The clouds settling in against Mt. Prevost was the perfect backdrop for this project.”

“Planned over six months, each vendor was free to use their creative judgment in their work. Everyone went above and beyond to create this perfect day.”

“It was my intention for fresh spring colors to be the focus of this project—and, of course, some cute fluffy llamas! They were so cheeky-literally! They would turn their bums to the camera as soon as everyone was in position. It definitely inspired some laughter on our soggy day.”

This project was also intended to showcase all Vancouver Island wedding creativity offers. I am always in awe of the variety and resources on this rock. When it comes to your wedding or elopement, I wanted to create a reminder that your day can truly be anything you wish it to be. The molds have been broken and tossed away, celebrate as you please! Your vendors are full of ideas and are here to make your wildest dreams come true.  We love to help bring a vision to life or even help create one for you.  Want to get married in the forest with llamas as your witnesses? Sure! Have epic florals and an amazing Hair & Makeup team that can travel to you?! It can happen! Finish your romantic day with a stay in a tastefully decorated tent under the stars. Why not!?”

Thank you, Amber, for the Vows in the Valley inspiration proving that Vancouver Island elopement vendors are some of the best!
