Rob + Tanisha = Autumn Amazing Love

I adore repeat clients... the second time around is just that much more fun and relaxed.
I had the pleasure of photographing their beautiful little family a couple months ago. I must say it is the highest honor when a client re-hires you to capture another milestone in their lives!
These two are cuteness overload, Rob clearly can't take his eyes off his beautiful bride to be!
I have no doubt you will have a long happy marriage!
XO Thanks for picking me!

Weber Family + Sundays = Mission Creek Perfection

I adore this family... they were totally coordinated and at ease infront of the camera!
It was a brisk Sunday morning, Mission Creek Park is full of beautiful fall colours... and alot of runners, it turns out on that day there was a giant race (who knew those crazy runners do marathons in the fall... on a Sunday).
We tried our best not to get run over, and got some great images!
Thank you so much for choosing me as your family photographer!
I had a great time.

Mike + Moira = Burrowing Owl Romance

October 16th 2011 - the last wedding of the season for me.

When I got the email that Moira was interested in my work I was thrilled... as the email unfolded I got more and more excited! They were eloping from Vancouver Island... They chose Burrowing Owl Winery (somewhere I've never been!) as their venue... and to top it off I got the honour of signing as one of their witnesses!
From the moment I knocked on the door and was greeted by the beautiful bride I felt at ease and totally comfortable with these two!
The love was so evident, not only for eachother but in the well being of those around them!

See... I kind of did a bone head move and test rode a new horse before I shot their wedding (two birds one stone... since I was in the area anyway!) Well the horse was feeling "fresh" and I got chucked and stepped on. Not one of my finer moments!
However Moira and Mike the amazing people they are totally understood and took care of me! Thank you Mike for your expert advice and helping me wrap that foot up (He is the Captain for Nanaimo Fire Dept.) so we carry on with THEIR special day!

Thank you both for choosing me, and sharing your day with me! You are truely amazing one of a kind people, I am so grateful to have had the pleasure of having you two to end my 2011 season with!

It has been a wonderful year and I look forward to all 2012 has to offer!

LOVE,

Erica + Dixie = Morgan Affection

I adore a good bond between horse and rider, love the emotions and quiet conversations between old friends. How we accept each other as we are, bad habbits and flaws included.
Dixie and Erica were a fantastic duo, Dixie is a jumpy Morgan mare with a adorable personality! (No joke for the first half of the shoot Dixie would jump everytime my shutter went off!)
The photos are evidence of those "quiet conversations" it's all in the way Dixie listens to what Erica has to say and Erica laughs at Dixie's quirky habbits.
Thank you Erica for spending an hour with me on this beautiful autumn afternoon!

Carlo + Karma = Autumn Love

My second to last wedding of the season fell on a beautiful overcast fall day. Karma like nearly all ... no wait, like all my brides was completely relaxed, laid back and so great to be around.
We started the morning at Blue Dahlia - awesome little salon off Birtch Rd. The girls were so calm and collected it was just like any other day!

I love all the little details that totally made this wedding them. A family friend made their awesome bouquets and all the girls wore purple and white converse shoes! Gotta love a bride that takes her friends comfort into consideration!
Their ceremony was filled with love and laughter - and patience! The awesome guests were cracking jokes while our lovely bride fixed some malfunctions and was a wee bit late! Everything still went off without a hitch!

Thank you so much for allowing me to be apart of your beautiful day! I wish you all the love and laughter in the years ahead.

Allissa and the Bratty Ponies!

My second Coastal client that I had the pleasure of shooting while in the lower mainland.
Allissa and her beautiful (just a tad bit distracted) ponies. You can tell this girl's love for horses is deep rooted. She comes from a strong horse background and loves he animals, bratty or not they are still her number 1's.
I even had the pleasure of shooting the whole family! These guys kept a smile on my face!

Thank you so much for choosing me!!

Kristyn + Thomas = Coastal Love

So this is where it all begins... young innocent amazing love!
Kristyn and Thomas are too cute for words! Full of laughter and so sweet!
Heidi (Kristyn's mom) arranged pictures for these two, we even evaded the rain.
I was down at the coast for the annual barrel racing finals and squeezed in a few sessions.

You two are absolutly fantastic and I hope you can look back on these photos many years in the future and say "remember when".

XO
