Mary & Ray

I photographed my friend Mary's wedding on August 2nd, 2008 just outside of Naniamo, BC. It was an outdoor wedding that was held on a piece of property they have with their family.

Ashley & Brandon

I photographed Ashley and Brandon's wedding with Eunice Montenegro from FunkyTown Photography on July 26th, 2008.

Trisha & Ryan

I shot Trisha and Ryan's wedding in Shawnigan, BC with fellow FunkyTown Associate Julie Norcott on July 12th. We shot the wedding in a 100% photojournalistic style as they were having a Trash the Dress session the next day with Eunice and Christina.

I have to say this wedding is one of my favorite weddings I have shot so far. Trisha & Ryan are the cutest couple I have ever met and you can tell they're head over heals in love with each other. 

They were having a Catholic wedding and sometimes you aren't allowed to take photos during the ceremony, so when we got to the church, we talked it over with the staff there and found out we were allowed to take photos as long as we stayed in the back and didn't move.....or so we thought! Turns out there was a communication error between us and the staff. Once the ceremony started we both picked our spots at the back and began shooting. But then one of the staff members got a little mad and told us that we were warned there was no photography at ALL, and to sit down. I was mortified because Trisha and Ryan had no idea we were just sitting in the back watching the ceremony take place!

Then later on in the day they realized that the cake was never delivered. It was ordered from a bakery in Victoria and had apparently gotten into an accident on the Malahat and was ruined. If I had been the bride I would have been devastated, but not Trisha. The only thing that mattered to these two, was that they are getting married and all their loved ones were there to witness it. But rest assured they did get to cut a cake. They had this fabulous caterer, whose name I can't remember or I would give him a plug, went and got an angel food cake and made it look amazing with fruit, flowers and drizzled chocolate.

So all in all, even after a few mishaps it was a great day spent with an amazingly loving and fun couple. They even had a sundae making station......How cool is that??

Paige's Christmas Photos

So this session DID NOT go as planned! I had set the christmas balls up nicely and then set Paige down in the middle and gave her the green one to distract her but unfortunately she thought it was great fun kicking the balls and throwing them across the room! At least they're plastic so they wont break and they do bounce really high. I think these are the only two that somewhat turned out.

I really only do these Christmas photos for my mom, although if you ask her she would tell you, she'll be dead before she gets any printed photos of Paige. I do have good intentions, but I seem to be lacking time lately.

Kara & Patrick

I photographed Kara & Patrick's wedding on June 18th, 2008 with Eunice Montenegro of FunkyTown Photography.

Kara & Patrick flew in all the way from Kentucky to have their wedding at Sooke Harbour House. It was a small, intimate wedding with only their dearest friends and family, all from out of town as well.

Paige

Isn't she precious? I did a photo session with Paige the other day and here are a couple of my favs. It was a quick one, as she wasn't into it, but I think they still turned out cute. I'm hoping she will let me do a Christmas themed session one night this week. So I will post those as soon as I can. Although if it goes anything like her picture with Santa last night I wont be posting anything. She doesn't normally play strange with people and she waved to Santa when we passed him in the mall and he said hi. But as soon as I put her on his lap, she freaked out and clung to me for dear life. She wouldn't even go to her dad. I felt so bad but I really wanted a photo of her with Santa. So this years photo is her and daddy sitting on Santa's lap! I don't think Kevin was impressed about sitting on Santa's knee but I wasn't leaving without a photo!

Brittney & Sylvan's Wedding

I had the pleasure of shooting Brittney & Sylvan's wedding May 3rd 2008 with Eunice of FunkyTown Photography. This couple was amazing! They were funny, up for anything and completely in Love. It was a great start to the wedding season.
