I was very excited to help my friend Rita with some of the photography of her daughter's wedding. I wanted to make sure that Rita would be in some of the pictures. Knowing her, she would disappear behind the camera to photograph every detail of that amazing wedding which was held at their property. All the details were so beautifully thought out. Rita's husband Joe build almost the entire venue. So without further words, here are some favorites. Please check out the beautiful photography Rita already posted on her facebook page. Congratulations, Alexandra and Fergus!
My summer has been so busy with sessions, family visiting from Europe and trips around the island and into the interior. So no wonder, I am behind with my editing and blogging. Here are a few favorites from a session I had in the early part of summer. Thank you to all my families for waiting so patiently for their portraits.
When we met for this session, the original plan was to shoot at Willows Beach. But it was the hottest day ever in September and the beach was packed, parking was a no go and all of Oak Bay was heading for the beach. So we changed plans quickly and went to Dallas Road instead. A nice cool breeze and an almost empty beach. Perfect! This was her 9months session and she looked adorable whatever mom put on her. Can't wait to meet her again in three months to do the urban baby session.
We were so fortunate to have this amazing weather last week. I had lots of beach sessions and I am still trying to catch up with all the editing from my August portraits and weddings. Thank you all for being so patient with me. Here are a few favorites from a family beach session. I met this family last year and I am looking forward to meeting them each year for a session.
This long weekend was our last trip camping. We went to Ruckle Park on Saltspring once more and I packed very lightly in terms of camera gear. And usually when I pack lightly, there is something that needs to be captured with "proper" lenses. We saw an owl during the day in the campsite. Beautiful big barn owl. And here I am with my little lens trying to capture the beauty of it all.
Here are a few impressions from Saltspring Island. All images were taken with my Canon 10D and lenses of the Lensbaby Optic Swap System.
And here is that beautiful owl, captured with the tiny lensbaby. :)
I do not enjoy rain at the best of times, especially when we are so close to wrapping up our summer. However, what I do enjoy is the glistening of drops everywhere. So yesterday evening, after all the rain stopped and the sun came out for a few minutes I saw many little drops in my hanging basket. Time to play!
Karen and Wade tied their knot on Saturday at St. Philips in Oak Bay. A fully packed church and a lovely ceremony. We then headed out for some other locations around town to do some fun pictures with the couple and bridal party. Lots of fun! Interesting enough, the groom's dad had recommended me for the wedding coverage. A very seasoned and experienced wedding photographer himself who graciously stepped aside to let me take over for one afternoon. Here are a few highlights from their day. Congratulations, Karen and Wade! Have a wonderful honeymoon!
With the sun lower in the sky and the chill in the evenings, I think our summer days are counted. This is my favorite time of the year though, late summer. I am so fortunate to capture family images every year and see the changes in the children. Thank you to the patient parents to bring along props and make the session even more fun.
Cara and Kevin tied their knot in a beautiful setting, the Craidellona in Sooke. A wonderful sunny day with a fresh breeze off the ocean. We could not have asked for a better day. Cara looked gorgeous and Kevin equally handsome. Everybody was wonderful to work with and thank you for letting us be a part of your day. Congratulations, Cara and Kevin!
Erin and Oliver tied their knot at the Brentwood Bay Resort. A beautiful event celebrated with close friends and family. Congratulations, Erin and Oliver!
A big thank you to the very talented Jen Steele for second shooting the event. So much fun working with you.
Maura and Shawn tied their knot at the beautiful Starling Lane Winery on Old Saanich Road. An amazing venue with different garden settings, wonderful old buildings and so many more details. Friends and family gathered for the ceremony and we had some time after to capture some beautiful and fun images. The dinner reception was held at the Sea Cider Farm and Cider House. All flowers were arranged by the amazing Vanessa from Verbana Floral Design.
Congratulations, Maura and Shawn and enjoy your honey moon!
And here are some details from bouquets Vanessa put together. I wish these flowers would all grow in my garden and I could put them in little mason jars and antique sugar bowls like she did. So country and so pretty.
Sweet 11 years old. These young ladies had their hair and make up done by Jen Clark, a make up artist in town. She was great with the girls and they had so much fun admiring their new look. We picked a quiet lane for our fashion shoot and there was a lot of giggling going on. Lots of fun. Happy Birthday, young lady!
