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!!!!!!!!
Relentless rain and genuine beauty come to mind when I think of Kiyomi and Matt’s intimate wedding at Long Beach Lodge Resort. Indeed one of my favorite venues on the West Coast. The elements of the West Coast is inspiring for the lens. Kiyomi whom I call my Channel Girl was an absolute sheer joy to photograph! The rain poured in layers like sheets of corrugated aluminum and no one was phased. We had no more then 15 minutes out on the beach before my camera was soaked. Thank you Félix for holding the umbrella. Kiyomi barely cold, would have kept on! The couples’ excitement and energy ruled over all rain drops. Kiyomi and Matt, thank you for all your trust and gratefulness. It will be an honor to keep in touch.
Breathtaking summons our escapade and wedding shoot in Tofino. From electric blue skies, snow on the pass to eventually two solid days of relentless torrential rain where the roads threatened to be closed. The wedding couple were extraordinary and braved the elements which made for some of my most favorite shots! Félix was a great help holding the umbrella keeping the 75º rain fall from hitting the camera! Can’t wait to work on this last wedding.. thank you Félix for your indispensable help!

Both Christy and Dan were welcoming and their enthusiasm was a joy to photograph. It was unusually warm and in many ways a treat!
The 5 dogs were wonderful to have roaming amongst us and made for interesting ambiance. The Wickaninnish is a fabulous place full of kind staff and wonderful environment!
Tofino is a remarkable place. Even more so when Jeff and Carson surprised their guests by immersing themselves completely in their finest linen into the icy cold sea! The few who knew had shots of Vodka ready for them. Cheers to you both for your love, your bravery and stupendous generosity! Middle Beach Resort has it’s special qualities of where time simply slows down, the ‘Je ne sais quoi’ special thing, eh Carson?!
Year 2008 was a remarkable year for weddings. Each and every couple along with their family and guests were a pleasure to photograph! Below are a summary of all the celebrations from last year. There are one or two images per wedding expressing either a tender moment, humour, grace, friendship, romance and countless other arrays of emotion that wedding celebrations encompass. It is simply a privilege to have met you and share your celebrations. A heartfelt thank you and best wishes!
