Herbal Life - www.GoHerbalife.com

I would like to share my journey with you all which is still ongoing of course:) Before Herbalife I was happy or so I thought but stuck in a rut of coming home from work, eating dinner, parking my butt down on the couch, watching tv, eating chips and pop, popcorn etc. You get the picture, unhealthy!!! I played soccer and was unhappy with my struggling of oxygen after a hard run! September 2013 i started a fitcamp through Herbalife and loved it! I started products (Herbalife shake & tea) October 2013, joined one of our nutrition classes to learn specifically about nutrition and what I was putting in my body as well as my family’s! I lost 5lbs & 8.5inches, felt amazing, healthy, full of energy and all around just better! Became a fitcamp coach, a wellness coach, then took it to the next level and quit my "JOB" august of 2015, I now am a fulltime Wellness Coach with Herbalife!! I have doubled my income since I quit!My next challenge a bikini competition, cause why not! BEST decision of my life! Lost another 11lbs, 11.5 inches, gained 7lb of muscle (a struggle for me) All of these changes were Scary?....yes, Hard?...yes, Fulfilling?.....yes, Felt like giving up sometimes?....absolutely, Will I?....never! I love what I do, helping people achieve their goals and dreams are by far the most fulfilling things I have ever done and will continue doing! I started all of this in my mid 40’s it is never too late to make a healthy change! I believe making healthier choices little by little, will help in your goals whether it be losing weight, gaining lean muscle or just feeling better, and keeping those changes! I would love to help you on your journey, and become the best version of yourself.

Dogwood Designs

Bonnie Boes, the lead designer at Dogwood Designs has been involved in the wedding industry for the last 6 years working at one of the premier wedding venues in the Fraser Valley. Part of my work there was creating floral centerpieces and ceremony arrangements where I embraced my lifelong love of flowers and which led to the decision to branch out into creating bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, flower crowns, etc. Fresh, high quality flowers will be used for every arrangement I create and where possible I will use locally grown flowers. I will work closely with my clients to create the look and feel you are after for your special event and if you don’t know where to start I can help you with that as well. I do not have a starting price point on my work as each event is different and prices can vary depending on which flowers are used and how many pieces are needed. I will provide a free consultation to each client and will strive to provide exceptional service. I am a great listener and will work very hard to please each and every client.

PHOTOGRAPHERS

Justine Russo Photography - www.justine-russo.com

I am a sentimental photographer for adventurous brides. I've photographed over 100 weddings in the last 9 years and my style is a mix of epic landscape photos to show off the scenery around you and sentimental candid moments showcasing who you two are as a couple.

I believe in trying everything once (except skydiving, that shits crazy!), that marriage is your one chance to chose your family, and that you should take time to be still. Being busy is overrated and nothing to brag about.

I love hosting imperfect dinner parties....it's not about the plates you use anyways. I bake cookies often and eat the first dozen. I do a healthy balance of yoga and heavy weightlifting. I fake being tired to get out of driving on roadtrips so I can stare out the window like a puppy looking at the mountains. I believe being festive is a lifestyle choice. Commit!

I believe in greeting everyone with a hug, full embrace, no half assing it! I am legit afraid of the dark, cougars and murderers come out. I think the bravest thing you can do in life is to be wholeheartedly yourself and be active in building the life you dream of.

Urban Fig Photography - www.urbanfigphotography.com

Haiiii! I'm Jete (pronounced like Pete), and I'm a taco demolishing, coffee drinking, sarcastic mom to 3 kids and 1 kitten. I've been married to my high school sweetheart since I was 20, and am still absolutely stoked to be doing life at his side. I started a photography business in 2010, and after quickly realizing that my passion lay in shooting weddings, Urban Fig was born! I love thinking on my feet and the higher pressure that comes with capturing a live event that can change in a heartbeat. Shooting couples who intentionally put each other first, who love (and laugh) without holding back, and who prioritize the marriage over the wedding makes me the happiest person on earth. And at the risk of sounding like a cheesy romantic comedy, I try to live with the understanding that life itself is a gift, compromise
is important, and love is a choice. I can't wait to meet you!

Candace Fast Photography - www.candacefastphotography.com

Hey

and most of all, I love people, that's the real reason I do what I do !

I love the connection that happens when I take your photo's, you are so much more to me then just another client .... you are potentially my new bestie !!

My goal is to bring out the authentic, spontaneous, beauty in people.

I'm based in Chilliwack BC but I'll travel anywhere and everywhere. I love exploring new places and if I can do that with my camera in hand then I'm living my dream.

I strive for those real moment between lovers, friends and family,the feeling you had while I was capturing your images and the memory that it produces are the reason I do this.
