Our lovely couple with the movie star looks got themselves hitched a few weeks back and we’ve got tons of great images to prove it.
The service was held at the Holy Rosary Cathedral downtown Vancouver.
The formals and wedding party shots were all in Yaletown, with Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill serving as a fantastic backgrop for some cool shots.
And finally the reception was held at the Four Seasons Hotel. Wow!! What an interior. We look forward to shooting there again. Hint hint to future brides

Recently I photographed clients Carmen and Ingo with their two small children at Jericho Beach in Kitsilano. The first time we worked with them was to photograph their daughter Charlotte. This second occasion was to celebrate a more recent addition to the family - their son Ryan. For all those parents out there that know - what you do for one child, you must do for the other! This family was so much fun to photograph - they are very expressive and the children’s love of the beach made the session a breeze (quite literally). :)Charlotte is one of the most excitable children I have worked with - she laughs very easily. Ryan is quiet and philosophical - if that is possible at a young age. The images below are some of my favorites from the session. �

Last week we took part in the 5th Annual FIFI Event: Friends Inviting Females Invitational. We are proud to say that we have been supporters and sponsors of this event since its inception 5 years ago.
The Event has given back over $160,000 in the past four years. The money raised has been able to help through research, purchase of much needed medical equipment as well as gentle care with room and board when needed. To everyone involved with FIFI - you have given hope through your generosity and kindness to hundreds of patients and their caregivers in ways you’ll never know.
Congratulations to all of the volunteers, sponsors, golfers and guests for another successful year!

One of the greatest parts of our profession is that many of our clients become our friends. Recently Anik and her daughter Amelia visited and we went to Rocky Point Park so the kids could ride on the swings and play. Alexia didn’t play much - she slept in her stroller. However, Amelia had a splash of a good time in some standing water. The water park was alive with squealing children running a muck when all of a sudden the water came on. Below are several fun images of Amelia �

You may remember that we photographed Steve and Jen’s wedding back in July 2006.
Almost exactly two years later we again had the privilege of photographing the two of them, but this time with the new addition to the family, their daughter Hayley.
Tanya took some great photographs of their fantastic baby room (Is Tanya jealous of that room? umm, yeah slightly) and both of us did a follow-up shoot over at Rocky Point Park to get some more natural outdoors shots. So of course it was hot and sunny all that week, except the Thursday morning we arranged to do the session. It sprinkled and rained. Sigh - but we adapted. There`s a few places to seek shelter there.
This week’s edition of TV Week is running an 8-page spread of images and a nice story telling of their early adventures in parenting - but you’ll just have to buy the magazine to find out and to see the images.
Here`s the cover so you know which issue to buy

A recent engagement session we did up at Burnaby Mountain Park (where Horizon’s restaurant is located, up on Burnaby Mountain next to SFU).Jessica really wanted to take advantage of the cherry blossoms that bloomed really well this year, and of course we knew of just the spot (ok, it’s one of dozens, but the park has some really nice majestic views.)

We met up with Sandra and Rohan at Prospect Point out at Stanley Park on a gorgeous Saturday morning.We grabbed a nice variety of shots of the love birds all in the general vicinity. There is a really nice variety of locations, shots, and angles to chose from there.And here are just a few of the many we took.

Actually, we’ll include some of their engagement images as well….
Rick and Marlene were married in March, and living in the Tri-Cities area they kept everything local (which was fantastic for us as everything was close by and it was our first wedding since Alexia was born, so being near her was comforting.)
The engagement session was a nice sunny day in February in and around Newport Village, especially in their favourite pub/eatery St. James’s Well. They were gracious enough to let us photograph Rick and Marlene grabbing a quick bite to eat.
The wedding was another rain-free affair, sunny with a few clouds, and a little on the cool side. It’s always nice when the winter weather can cooperate like that.
The ceremony was at St.Clare’s Parish while the reception was held at the always great Westwood Plateau golf course.

Shannon and Keith were actually married back in December, on a rare beautiful sunny day, but boy was it cold.
As in barely above freezing. And Shannon was amazing in dealing with the temperature. We were bundled up with gloves and scarves, and there she was standing out in the frost and snow with bare arms and exposed legs. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…….
The wedding and reception took place at the Whonnock Lake Centre.

Well, 4 months sure ticks along quickly doesn’t it?
Of course we love being parents to our new baby girl, but it’s hard. It’s as hard as everyone tells you. Hard mostly in that it is impossible to get anything done, and that when you have a free moment where she’s sleeping, you’re too tired to do what isn’t getting done.
There’s still so many projects that are just sitting… sigh… including finishing the website to create a Portrait area (our first priority was to get the wedding side of it up and running).
But we have had a couple of weddings this year and a few family portraits that we’d like to post on to this blog. And that will happen real soon….. I’m hopeful for tomorrow. Or maybe Saturday. Well, it’s supposed to be hot and sunny then, so Sunday?
