The main feedback I receive from clients, which I also consider to be the very best compliment, is that THEY FEEL AT EASE IN FRONT OF MY CAMERA.⁠
.⁠
Let's take a moment to let the magnitude of that compliment sink in.🤯⁠
.⁠
Most often, with just a few minutes of meeting in person for the first time, my clients face two of their biggest fears; .⁠
Feeling VULNERABLE & EXPOSED.⁠
.⁠
I know, because I feel those too to the power of 10 with you.🤫⁠
.⁠
My inner dialogue, if I wouldn't have learned to control and embrace my own fears would go something like:⁠
. ⁠
ᴏᴍɢ,ᴏᴍɢ,ᴏᴍɢ,ᴏᴍɢ,ᴏᴍɢ,ᴏᴍɢ,ᴏᴍɢ...🤢⁠
.⁠
See, I am one of those introvert (say what?) disguised as an extrovert when needed to help others out.⁠
.⁠
I must of unconsciously, along the way started seeing how much of an impact I could bring to the experience of being photograph if not only...ɪ ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴇᴅ ᴀɴ ᴇɴᴠɪʀᴏɴᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴏꜰ ᴛʀᴜꜱᴛ ʙᴜᴛ ɪꜰ ɪ ᴀʟꜱᴏ ᴊᴜᴍᴘᴇᴅ ʀɪɢʜᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍʏ ᴄʟɪᴇɴᴛꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ʜᴇʟᴅ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ꜱᴘᴀᴄᴇ ᴀɴᴅ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ɴᴇʀᴠᴏᴜꜱ ᴇɴᴇʀɢʏ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇᴍ.⁠

The true beauty is that very quickly, the guards are down and I become invited to witness their real beauty;⁠
.⁠
Their souls,⁠
Their connection⁠
Their authentic self....⁠
.⁠
...and yup that happens to make then look damn good, smiles or not.🤩

We decided to GIVEAWAY one of our all-inclusive elopement packages to a couple that had their wedding affected by Covid and were essential workers/First Responders.⁠
.⁠
Our team felt that this small gesture could be our way of saying thank you to a deserving couple that not only had had their dream wedding put on hold but were in the heat of the Covid pandemic helping us as essential workers.⁠
.⁠
We didn’t feel right about holding a contest or anything of the sort, how could there possibly be a “winner” in such a surreal time for all of us. We wanted to magically find this couple and quietly just surprise them. But how could we find them? ⁠
.⁠
Almost as if it were written in the stars , the next day we received an enquiry from Anna & Elias for our #mountaintopelopement . Like many couples who had planned weddings in 2020, Anna & Elias, also fell victim to the woes of the Covid-19 Pandemic and were forced to cancel their original wedding plans.⁠
.⁠
However, not getting married in 2020, was not an option for them because as we know, #LOVEISNOTCANCELLED⁠
.⁠
In their enquiry they informed us that they were both #EssentialWorkers and #FirstResponders , working on the frontlines as police officers with the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police).⁠
.⁠
Rachael, owner of The Whistler Elopement Company quickly collaborated with the company preferred vendors team member, enlisting the collaboration and kind involvement of many very talented local vendors, and then booked a phone call with Anna and Elias to “finalize the details of their elopement package”.⁠
.⁠
Starting the conversation with a run-through of their wishes and wants to include in their elopement. As the conversation was winding down, Rachael took a deep breath and then informed the couple that The Whistler Elopement Company would like to offer them their dream Mountaintop elopement as a GIFT and THANK YOU for their services...(gasp!)⁠
.⁠
Find out their reaction in our final instalment tomorrow as we release our blog post. 🎉⁠

The "Review Order" (also "Red Serge") uniform is worn mostly at special events.⁠
.⁠
The uniform consists of a red tunic with a large brown belt,(formally known as a “Sam Browne”), a light brown hat, dark blue breeches (trousers) with a yellow stripe and riding boots.⁠
.⁠
To witness the protocol, learn more about the history and witness the respect and the attention to detail as an officer dresses in their Red Serge is to appreciate the deep respect and sense of duty the officer has for its profession.⁠
.⁠
Spending time with both Anna & Elias, getting to know them, learn from them as they so graciously expanded our knowledge of their @RCMP workforce, their positive outlook and genuine love, respect, pride and sense of responsibility wearing their uniform for their celebration left us humble, speechless and bursting with joy at the day we had planned for them...but we are getting ahead of ourselves...⁠
.⁠
More to come tomorrow 😉⁠

So we did this thing a few months ago and we didn't really talk about it much because:⁠
.⁠
① It was our small way of just saying thank you as best we could.⁠
.⁠
② We didn't want to put our couple in the spotlight without their approval.⁠
.⁠
③ It felt best for us to leave a bit of time to have our couple seize their day in the intimacy we wanted to offer them.⁠
.⁠
④ It was COVID, it is still COVID, and we know there are so many of you that have cancelled, postponed or had to completely change your wedding plans, this couple included.⁠
.⁠
⑤ A number of publications got wind of it, and wanted dibs on an exclusive...we humbly said no thank you.⁠
.⁠
Soooo, we are now ready to showcase this amazing, beautiful, love story and how serendipity came into play in the most surreal of timing.⁠
.⁠
Follow us this week as we reveal the wedding story of Anna & Elias. ⁠
