Leah and Scott, the BIG day.

Leah and Scott held a great evening ceremony followed by the perfect dinner party. I have decided that when I get married, I want my wedding to be almost just like this one was! ...except perhaps it will take place on top of a snow covered mountain, or at least very close to one.

Congratulations you two, I really enjoyed being part of your festivities this week!

I couldn't stop gushing about this phenomenal backlighting...these two can definately attest to my extent of nerdiness when it comes to a well-lit scene.

I had THE BEST photoshoot today! I didn't even realize how great it went until I got got home and loaded the images onto the computer...as I was going through them I just couldn't stop picking favorites!

The Tuppers spent the weekend at the Madrona Resort in Parksville for a family shindig. Deana is Adam's cousin, and she invited me to document their Sunday morning on the beach.

There was a number of toddlers on hand. Now, I often feel overwhelmed with my life these days; with three restaurant jobs, a growing photography business, a full-time boyfriend, ect. it often feels tough to keep up with "life". However, after spending a mere couple of hours with these mums and dads, I realized, WOW...they have their hands [and arms, and every possible limb on their body] way fuller than I. Those kids put me through the paces in those two hours...but we got some great shots to show for it!

Thanks for the great day! I hope you enjoy this sneak peek...& perhaps you'll have me back next year...maybe Sarah will be able to sit still by then!

...This last one pretty much sums up how the group shot panned out:

Leah and Scott, an engagement session.

I met up with Leah and Scott for a-day-before session downtown yesterday evening. They came from Campbell River for their wedding which is happening in just a few hours from now! The two of them were absolute naturals in front of the camera, the light was great and I was excited to shoot downtown for a change...we got tons of excellent shots, so I had a pretty tough time narrowing it down for a quick little preview for them!

...stay tuned for the images from their celebration this evening!

Donna and Adam

I am shooting Donna and Adam's wedding in late September, along side the wonderful Georgie Wilson. Earlier this week we all met up at Beacon Hill Park for an engagement session. The light was perfect and this couple was so fun and comfortable in front of the camera! Donna's family owns Lyle's Place record shop on Yates Street, so she suggested that we head to downtown to get a shot in front of the store, while downtown we took advantage of a few great urban backdrops.

I'm really looking forward to shooting this wedding, these two are so sweet and fun to photograph! Thanks for the awesome photoshoot guys!
