engagement | Louis-Pier + Andreanne

“I am a real nature-lover and fond of afternoons at the lake. So when Andréanne & Louis-Pier asked me if I would be willing to do their engagement session at Lake Mercier Tremblant, I accepted without hesitation! If it were only up to me, I would take pictures in the Laurentians all year long: the sky is so blue up there, and the mountains in the background are just beautiful! We had so much fun at this session – these little birds are sooo in love, it’s a nice thing to witness and such a delight to capture.” – Sonia Bourdon Photographe

“When my fiancé’s brother got married two years ago, Sonia did a terrific job on their engagement and wedding photos. So good that we had to look no further! We both love her personality, and the light that emanates from her shots…

..Actually, it might be shorter to list what we’re not DIY-ing! I love to paint, sew, and shop for vintage accessories, so I make the groom and groomsmen bow-ties and pocket squares (you can see them on etsy; my shop is CheminDesBoises – recently, I’ve been getting lots of orders from people that want to add this out-of-the-ordinary/fun/vintage look to their wedding party). I painted a wooden sign that you can see in the images above, and that will be at the door at the venue. I also grew basil, mint and other fine herbs to give to our guests. Among other things, I made the ring pillows, name tags, and menus. My favorite is the wedding sash and the headband that I made with a really good friend of mine. I can’t wait to wear them! It’s a secret, but my fiancé and I went to buy an old tandem bike to make our entrance at the dinner. It’s gonna be great, with a flower basket in the back along with a JUST MARRIED sign and tin cans attached in the back :)

..Well it’s hard not to say our honeymoon, because we’re going to French Polynesia where we rented a sailboat! I’m also looking forward to walking down the aisle, as well as saying our vows to each other, although that makes me a little bit nervous too! – Andreanne, the bride-to-be

engagement | Troy + Leslie

“Troy & Leslie met while attending Azusa Pacific University…both pursuing a degree in graphic arts. While their majors changed and went in different ways, their love clearly didn’t. Troy’s friend John (and his Best Man) introduced the two of them and they hit it off. To this day, Troy still claims he let Leslie win at the bowling alley on their first date. I’m not convinced that’s how it played out, but either way, they are two of the sweetest people you could ever meet and I’m so excited for their backyard wedding!” – Leif Brandt Photography

“Troy and I were very fortunate to find Leif . We had been looking around for a photographer and just hadn’t settled on one. One afternoon my mom had mentioned that she had heard of a great photographer from our church. We looked him up and he was fantastic! He had even worked on a few weddings of people we knew. By chance, he was available to meet up after church that Sunday. We chatted for a while and the rest went from there. He has been so amazing through this whole process…

..We actually incorporated a lot of DIY and personal touches into our wedding. Troy and I met taking art classes in college, so it was only natural to incorporate a lot of that side of us into our wedding. He designed all our our invitations and I watercolored them all before we sent them out. We also watercolored our table numbers to tie everything in together. From there we made our guestbook out of heart punches, grew and planted our own succulent favors, put together a s’mores bar for our guests, and a few other details. It was really fun to see all of our creations come together!

..Our wedding was set in a backyard, so I am most looking forward to seeing the transformation take place from backyard to wedding! We planned the wedding on a budget and tried to create a lot of the elements ourselves. We were very fortunate to find family friends (including our florist and location hosts) that were so generous along the way. We are really excited to see it all come together!” – Leslie, the bride-to-be
