Since we’re buried under heaps of snow, it seems like a good time to write about something cheerful like the best bridal bouquets of 2017. I have to admit that photographing a bride with her bouquet is one of my favourite things so let’s kick things off with peonies.
Peonies, peonies, peonies

Perfect for a mountain Bride
Caitie and Mark’s engagement session at Spray Lakes was one of my highlights from 2017. Caitie carried a loose arrangement of blossoms from Flowers by Janie that were ideal for a mountain bride-to-be. It looked as though Caitie may have picked them from a nearby hillside.
