Johnny called late November to ask if I were to photograph his wedding. At first I was hesitant to accept any more work but his sweet English accent and charm got the better of me. Then later meeting Isabelle sealed the deal for me. Mostly they wanted images of their ceremony and cocktail. They married at the Empress Hotel at 4:30pm. The couple were wonderfully animated as were their guests! I can still here the laughter in the room.
Such a treat to spend the weekend with friend photographers and my son, away from our computers and the buzz of it all. First weekend to ourselves. The rain poured and poured and poured… i loved it, we all loved it! The rain hit my lens and I could not care, they kept playing and being wild. So much fun you are!!!!!!!!
A simple intimate wedding is what Tiffany and Chris envisioned and their choice of venue fitted beautifully. Starling Lane Winery is a fabulous country setting where guests are free to roam and experience tasteful country grounds and wine tasting. Tranquility comes to mind. The country setting allows character to come through and time simply slows down somehow. Tiffany and Chris and company were a pleasure to photograph!
If I had it my way, everyone would wear hats. So wonderfully photogenic! Thuraya and Matthew wedded at Villa Marco Polo which is one of my very favorite locations in Victoria! Liam and Eliza are fabulous hosts whom are so inviting and make their guests feel at home. Thuraya’s BIG red dress was of course a treat! After all these years of photographing guys tie their ties, this one was entertaining when both Matthew and his best man had to read the instructions. You were all wonderful to photograph!
It is a blessing when the couple gives you the full green light, loves B&W and it’s a backyard wedding. No stress, very little structure and a fabulous party where friends, family and kids were free to roam and play. It was not about the bouquet or rings, but rather their focus was on the reunion of friends and family. A remarkable heartfelt celebration, blessings A:K!
My sweet neighbor asked me to photograph her mom so she can simply hold a memory of her. An honor it was and in return I experienced the fragility of time and was reminded of our relationships with people dear to us. It’s humbling.
One can not say enough wonderful things about a backyard wedding where there is very little structure and plenty of room for people to mingle and share emotions. Bekkie and Kamil were incredibly laid back and made room for laughter. For this I opted mostly for B&W and it was refreshing to do so as this is my roots.
