VanderDeen & Hingston Wedding Photos

I had the privilege of photographing a very special wedding on May 1, 2009 - of Jill VanderDeen & Daniel Hingston. The wedding was simple and beautiful in Langley.

Luckily the bride and groom decided to have their family & bridal party portraits taken prior to the wedding because just as we were leaving the park we felt our first few drops of rain. Congratulations on your new life together.

Chic Chicas - Meet Up at Opus

Event photography isn't limited to weddings and birthday parties. This meet up group called the Chic Chicas - is a ladies group that meets regularily to get to know other fun women that may be new to the city, that want to meet new people or just enjoy the going out for fun events.

This weekend the Chic Chicas met at Opus Lounge, after a few Chica Chica Martini's we took it to the Opus Hotel Lobby to take a few photos.











What a beautiful bunch of ladies. I had a great time at this event - hope to see you all again soon!

Canucks vs Flames in Calgary

George and I went out to Calgary in February to visit family and while there we attended the Vancouver Canucks vs. Calgary Flames game. It was a fantastic game - and fun was had by all... well more us than the other 19,000 Flames fans.

Survivor Bootcamp Headshots

It was a sunny mid-morning in Coquitlam when i met up with Survivor Boot camp Trainers Shawna and Chris; we quickly realized that yet it was sunny, but man was it COLD!



The mean looking Survivor Bootcamp Truck... it'll kick your butt!


After falling into the snow a couple of times along the way - the trainers were comparing whose biceps were bigger... I'm not going to name a winner; they both look great.

Shawna and Chris run the White Rock and South Surrey boot camp; you can check it out at www.survivorbootcamp.com

Weiss Wedding Shoot

I was happy to meet Jessica and Joe Weiss yesterday at Granville Island to take some wedding photos for them. It was a spectacular day, very cold but nice and sunny. Jessica was very brave in her gorgeous strapless dress in the 1C temperature!



This is on the deck of Bridges restaurant. We were walking around on the slippery deck trying not to fall over, it was a super frosty morning!


Jessica finally admitted that she got cold and we stepped inside one of the art shows.


Among all of the rainy days it was so great that this day was so beautiful and the sun was starting to peak out a little throughout the shoot.


This is painted onto the side of one of the buildings... A new year... new leaf... new beginnings.


We were walking towards the car and I spotted this great little ally; it's actually a walk way to one of the parking lots - who would have figured?


I tried a blurring effect on this photo - I tend not too go too crazy on the photo editing so the photos don't look fake. But I think this looks pretty good - glowing almost angelic.


Granville Island has a lot of cool nooks and fun spaces. We were getting ready to take some photos in this beat up corner behind the school when a woman walks by and tells us that the bride is much too pretty to be standing in a dirty corner. We thought it looks cool anyways!








Overall we were all very happy with the day. The shoot took just over an hour and a half - which is pretty good especially in that cold! Hot chocolate and coffee came next.
