Lisa - Belly Session

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

The first ever Belly Session I photographed was for my good friend Lisa, just over 5 years ago now. When she phoned me up to say that baby # 2 was on the way and she wanted more pictures, I was thrilled. Here are some images from the session. Congratulations Lisa, James and Oliver on your growing family! xox

Angela and Jeremy - The E Session

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

With Angela booking me for her wedding just a few short weeks before the Big Day, we did not have the luxury of lots of time to plan the Engagement Session. We decided on September 15th in the evening and luckily once again the weather was cooperating. However the traffic was not! I was headed from West Van to downtown Vancouver when the Upper Levels Highway traffic hit a complete stop. Radio reports announced that West Van was locked down with 2 gunmen on the loose after a sudden shooting. So I sat in my car on the highway for close to 2 hours with phone calls back and forth to Angela who was getting her make-up done and though thoroughly disappointed that it looked like her session was not going to happen was still positive and understanding of the situation. So….all of a sudden the traffic stared to move….. I made it to Coal Harbour and with less than an hour of decent light left still rocked a fabulous shoot for Angela and Jeremy :-)

Dear Alena and Dave

Thank you for visiting my web site from the other side of the world (Australia). I was so delighted when you decided to book me for your photography before you even met me!! When we finally got to meet ( 2 weeks before your wedding day!) I was even more thrilled to be working with you. Your bubbly, easy going and outgoing personalities made our day a breeze and your families and friends were beyond wonderful to work with! Gabrielle and I enjoyed every second working with you……it sure didn’t feel like work :-)

Love and hugs…all the best in this new chapter of your lives together! xox

Jodi and John - September 13th

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Just over 4 years ago I photographed Sarah and Blake’s wedding in Vancouver. When I got an email from Sarah last November I wondered if she was going to ask me for baby photos………Well Sarah and Blake do have a baby now, and they did want some pictures but they were contacting me to see if I could photograph Blake’s sister, Jodi’s wedding. Not only that but since they had been so happy with the images I created for them in 2005 they wanted to give Jodi and John photography from me as their wedding gift. Can you say blown away?? I don’t think I have ever had such a huge compliment!!

So once again it was an absolute pleasure to work with these families. Jodi’s day was perfect with a fun getting ready session followed by pictures downtown. The beautiful ceremony took place at Brix and was very international with lots of John’s family from the UK. Jodi looked stunning in the same gown Sarah wore 4 years ago, and Sarah’s adorable daughter, Sophie, was the flower girl.

Congratulations Jodi and John! It was an absolute pleasure to be such an important part of your day. xox

Winnie and Linwood - September 12th

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Winnie and Linwood were lucky enough to be blessed with another perfectly sunny day for their September 12th wedding. Libby and I set off early to capture images of the guys and then a quick drive to the hotel to see the girls and photograph the details. After a beautiful ceremony we headed over to Steveston and then Iona Beach for fabulous location shots and back to the hotel for the tea ceremony….what a whirlwind! A fabulous dinner, amazing decor, toasts to all the guests, games and dancing ensured that the rest of the evening went wonderfully.

Congratulations once again Winnie and Linwood! xox
