Vancouver Wedding | Engagement Photographer: Timeless Love Quotes

Timeless love quotes: “I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.” ― Marilyn Monroe

Happy love day to all you lovebirds!

Winter Fun

I just loved winter as a kid. Something I miss with living on the West Coast these last few years.  Since we bought our house in a neighborhood on a higher elevation  of the Greater Vancouver area, winter weather and conditions have happily re-entered my life.

Loved today and playing with my daughter in the snow for the first time. Later I got these shots of my boy and hubby building a snowman.

The lighting seemed perfect with dusk just settling in hence the purplish sky,  and our backyard lighting on illuminating the snow just perfectly.  Great fun playing around with the camera in such different lighting conditions than I am used to, and I love the result.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!!

Abbotsford Greenhouse Wedding - Mar + Dave - 09-22-12

Just loving the DIY details that Marlene chose for her Abbotsford Greenhouse Wedding this past weekend. From the fern + moss mason jar centre pieces, the moss and succulent covered ring pillow and the eclectic entry table highlighting the couples' personality and favourite things....Only topped off by their heartwarming vows and speeches, and little surprises (look for the "crybaby" handkerchief and the orange Converse shoes!)....I truly had an ear-to-ear grin the whole way home! Thank you guys for having me shoot this day for you! xoxo

Summer Vacation - Okanagan Camping and Wine Tasting

Some favourite shots of mine from our camping/wine tasting trip to hot, sunny and beautiful Okanagan. We camped just outside of Oliver, BC at an RV park.  Never EVER thought I would do RV camping, but I have to say...the kids love it, our son was biking around until he could barely keep his eyes open.  We had a beach just steps from our site, the neighbors were friendly, and we were near some of our favourite wineries. A few photos below are from our picnic lunch at Rustico Winery; Bruce, the winery owner is seriously the hospitality cowboy!!

We also visited Le Vieux Pin, Burrowing Owl in Oliver, and Stags Hollow in Okanagan Falls. Le Vieux Pin...gorgeous wines, lovely chat in the tasting room, and the kids appreciated the visit to their mini-farm of chickens, roosters and miniature goats. 

 Summer is almost winding down now and I will be sad to see it go.  Enjoy!

Large Prints and Canvas Gallery Wraps

I am working on some new prints for framing and canvas for our house, it's time to change things up again!  In looking for something for printing a larger print (11x14) for framing or canvas, I found this photo. I was really busy at the time with various projects and I missed this one of my baby girl, so glad I went back looking.   Love the downtown Vancouver background from Spanish Banks beach, awesome! Baby girl is pretty sweet too. ;)

 This photo is a great example of a print that will look stunning in a framed print or canvas gallery wrap. For this one I am looking at 11x14, but later I will look for an even larger photo for my front hallway.  My background in Interior Design drives my passion for getting your family photos up on the wall to share. I feel that in this age of digital technology, the photos that will be passed down through families are at risk of being lost, especially photos of artistic merit and those that have special meaning.

As your photographer, I will work with you to choose those photos for large format prints, and where and how to hang in your home.  I provide this home consultation complimentary in your photo package.

Now back to sifting through my family photos....
