Uncle Autumn is here.

Crunchy apples, fog and vibrant colours comes to my mind when I think about fall. It’s this time of the year when I especially enjoy being outside. Observing how plants are preparing for the upcoming winter, how trees are dropping their leaves. It’s a sweater season for sure and I love it;)

Mykolas first time at the apple farm with Aria :)

Change of plans .

Few months after I got engaged I started to think what kind of wedding I would like and my mind went crazy - I imagined us getting married on top of the mountain, preferably with snow around and I didn’t need anything else. While this seemed unreal at that time, we planned a wedding in Lithuania.

I found this beautiful old mansion and a big yard. Also they offer sleep overs and that’s what I was really looking forward to. I wanted to give a great experience for my new canadian family and friends :) Dreams and plans can be gone very quickly and eventually we decided to postpone our wedding day till 2022.

When thinking about a wedding on top of the mountain I came with a date that seemed very easy to remember 2020-10-10 :) And if you take zeros out you get my b-day, mayyyybe this is too much nerdy ;P Anyway, getting closer to this day we discussed with Youn what shall we do and we made a decission to do a small elopement wedding on top of the mountain (YES!!!) and have a bigger celebration in 2022.

Fingers crossed plan will not be blown away. We started planning and buying our outfits. I have to say the most worrying part for me was ordering shoes. I have an in between shoe size and never know if I should go smaller or bigger. Anyway, shoes were fine, I oredered my wedding outfit on Etsy, flower loop was made locally in Vancouver and jewellry was gifted by Youn’s parents :) I also found cute pink colour boots in case it would be raining and ordered a big clear umbrella on amazon.

We drove to Whistler and checked around 10 spots were we could potentially get married. We wanted an easy access, with a nice view and not too crowded. Of all places Alta lake ended up being our option B in case helicopter will not fly.

Even though in these photos it looks like it’s sunny, mountains were hugged by rain clouds and for some reason we had this beautiful sunny moment for our ceremony :)

I’ve seen one of our brides wearing these Loeffler Randall shoes and from then I knew I want the same shoes on my wedding day! I usually don’t wear heels and was afraid they will be too tall, but I have to say - these are so so comfy!!! Even for someone like me it was very easy to get use to the hight :)

We knew our officient from other weddings and he is such great human being!

Attached rings on to this floral loop ;)

Bubbles for video and photo ;)

They lived happily ever afer ♥︎

birthday morning .

I love the moments when I can observe and enjoy the moments of pure simplicity. Waking up in this Bed and Breakfast place by the fields and mountains was very much the best present :)

Someone else is preparing a breakfast, going out to take photos and feeling the morning freeze. I came back with red cheeks and big smile on my face :)

Going back to Vancouver we saw some beautiful landscapes!

This valley with clouds/fog travelling was the top moment of our trip :)

Morning blessed with red cheeks, fog and inside happiness :)

Far far away .

Many days we rush to finish a cup of coffee, to finish conversation with a colleague and go somewhere. So many times we go nowhere. And so many times I wish I could be a bird and just enjoy how simple our life is. It’s so pretty and full of good stuff around us :)

Sometimes to see another perspective it’s so awarding. Driving along west coast reminded me so much of LT, it’s dunes and sea. I felt like I’m home. Far far away, but I could still find a piece of home everywhere I go.

We stopped to try some oysters :) And it was delicious! It is a process to open it, but when the sun is shining you don’t count time :)
