Taheera + Don Bear Mountain Wedding Victoria BC

Add caption

Taheera and Don's Bear Mountain Wedding was exquisite! It was a privilege to be part of their day and documenting the beauty, love and emotion! Even though a November rain storm kept us from exploring the resort's fabulous golf course for their photos, a little wind and rain did not dampen their spirits or their mood. Photographing them before their evening ceremony, we used the hotel's stunning interior stone work and design as a lush backdrop. A very laid back vibe was present during the entire weekend. Wonderful!

Thank you Taheera and Don! All the best to your future together in Victoria!

Taheera and Don's Mehndi Ceremony was a photographer's dream... colours, textures, laughter, love and good people.

Their wedding was my last of the season and it was such a memorable, beautiful day... the perfect way to end the very busy year. More photos of their gorgeous ceremony tomorrow....

Taheera and Don were married in November and we did their engagement session back in October.

Loved Taheeras ideas which she brought to their session. More images from their wedding and Mendhi ceremony in a few days... stay tuned!!

Now for something completely different....and Yes a little spooky and surreal.

I am diving back into my surreal art, something that has been brewing on the backburner for a few years now. So much fun to take my photography in a totally different direction ... way out on the edge and very far from wedding or boudoir photography...
What an honour to be invited to take part in such a fun and fabulous show with many uber talented artists. Thanks Carollyne for including me in your vision!

And a big thank you to friend and makeup artist Jenny Clark for helping me out with this project, being my favourite model and doing such and amazing job with the make up! ( and nearly drowning with plastic in the pool)

Andrea + Tyler ~ Galiano Island Wedding

2011-10-02T23:28:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I traveled to Galliano Island for Andrea and Tyler's wedding. It was great to see some familiar faces makeup artist Jenny Clark and Hair Stylist Crystal Currie from Anthem Salon who also made there way 1/2 way across the pond to the breathtaking Gulf Island.
Andrea and Tyler's wedding was an intimate affair held at Galliano Resort and Spa. A stunningly beautiful day with there closest family and friends.
Even though it was the first time we actually met, I felt like I known them both for years!
Very easy going ... They both could not stop smiling.
Andrea looked amazing in her gown with endless layers or crinoline and lace and her girls complemented her perfectly with their elegant gowns and hot pink flowers. lovely.
Wonderful to work with you both! Happy marriage ... all the best!

Kristie and Hudson ~ Sea Cider Wedding

2011-09-27T01:19:00.000-07:00

As the wedding season starts winding down I start looking forward to my Fall weddings. The air a little crisper the sun a little warmer and I am a little closer to some holidays.

Kristie and Hudson were married September 10th out at Sea Cider Farms in Saanich. A beautiful day with the formals of the wedding party and the bride and groom shot first followed by a early evening ceremony out at the cidery.

A lovely leisurely day it was wonderful to take the formals first and we took advantage of our time and hit several locations for photos. The Ledge, Elk Lake and finished off at the cidery.

I really love the evening ceremonies. It gives the day a completely different vibe.

Wonderful day + Great Couple ...All the best to you Kristie and Hudson!
Congrats
Jen

Rachel + Dominic ~ Victoria Wedding Photography

2011-09-16T17:37:00.000-07:00

Rachel and Dominic were married over the September Long Weekend on the West Shore. After shooting their engagement session back in the spring, I knew photographing their wedding would be a piece of cake... they are just plain happy and very much in love and a lot of fun!! With a nautical theme we shot their formals at Fort Rd Hill down at the lighthouse and out at Goldstream Park at the waterfall where Dominic proposed.
Loved both locations!
I love photographing the rings and challenge myself to create a shot that is unique to each of my clients. During their reception at CFB esquimalt I found a model ship and since Rachel and Dominic are/were in the Navy I couldn't resist the rings on the ship... something rather different and fun.
Another great day! Thank you Rachel and Dominic for everything.. all the best.

Rachel and Kellen - Quadra Island Wedding

2011-09-06T11:17:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, I travelled up to Quadra Island with fellow photog and good friend Brenda Colby to photograph Rachel and Kellen's beautiful wedding at Rebbecca Spit. A perfect day. High school sweethearts, Rachel and Kellen tied the knot in a beautiful west coast setting, a ceremony filled with tears laughter and emotion. Rachel brought her interior design style and expertise to transform the local community center into a gorgeous space for their reception. Brilliant. So in love and so sweet together... another wonderful wedding.
Thank you Rachel and Kellen all the best!

Mary + Jason - Inn at Laurel Point Wedding

2011-09-01T17:34:00.000-07:00

Lovely. Love. Loving. Lovin' it! Mary and Jason the sweetest couple ever, were married August 20th at St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Church . Their reception followed located at The Inn at Laurel Point! Their whole day was a photographer's dream! Everywhere I turned there was a perfect candid moment filled with tears or laughter, a sly smile, a beautiful detail, a room full of eye popping colour, textures, beauty and love. Someone had to pry my camera out of my hands because I could not stop shooting.... step away from the photo buffet! EYE CANDY!
A wonderful day. A very hot day. Jason and your guys rocked those 3 piece suits in that blazing sun...eek.
Kudos to Mary's mom and her team for the absolutely stunning centerpieces full of lavender, antique silver, old books and teacups. ...hello wedding stylist!
Thank you Mary and Jason for the opportunity to be a part of your day. A truly wonderful affair! All the best!

Jocelyn and Ken's laid back evening wedding took place last Friday at the Inn at Laurel Point. I wish every wedding ceremony was in the evening. The light was so beautiful! The ceremony was chilled with Jocelyn and Ken walking down the aisle together. I really love the break from tradition and found it to be quite the trend this year. We shot the formals at the Japanese Gardens and around the Inn. Wonderful and mellow.
Another lovely wedding. Thank you Jocelyn and Ken. All the best.

Tracy + Mike - August Wedding

2011-08-19T12:53:00.000-07:00

Add caption

I love the thought and energy that each of my clients put into their weddings. An underlying theme always is so present with each wedding. Tracy and Mike were married last Saturday and their theme just felt so west coast with a touch of elegance. We shot their formals deep in the forest at Mt Doug and down at the beach complete with Arbutus trees. The light was amazing! Moody and dark at times, just the way I like it!
Tracy and her girls got ready at the Dalton Hotel. I felt like we were transported to Paris. Beautiful Rooms.
Ceremony and reception followed at the University Club. Even their cake had a west coast theme, adorned with a variety of herbs. It smelled heavenly!
An inspiring wedding. Tracy looked stunning! Loved her hand made sash which completed her dress.
Another wonderful day. Thank you Tracy and Mike!!! All the best to you and your adventures in Nashville.

Tanis + Mike - August 6th 2011

2011-08-17T16:03:00.000-07:00

All the best Tanis and Mike.

2011-08-05T18:47:00.000-07:00

Val and Jeff were married over the August Long Weekend. Finally some warm weather and sunshine! When we first met last year they mentioned they were not too keen on posing or getting their photo taken and were hoping for a more candid feel to the photos during their wedding day.
Well as soon as we starting shooting their formals prior to the ceremony I knew they had been lying...they rocked it !! They were so relaxed and sweet together it was easy getting some great shots of the two of them. Another great laid back wedding at the Laurel Point.
Thank you Val and Jeff ,your wedding party family and friends. Wonderful working with you all.

Anna and David - Salt Spring Island Wedding

2011-08-01T14:27:00.000-07:00

I journeyed to one of my favourite places in the world Salt Spring Island on Saturday to photograph Anna and David's gorgeous wedding. The colours, textures, light, people and energy were amazing! If I didn't have to take the last ferry home I would have loved to stay all night. Their family and friends made me feel like I known them all for years. A wonderful party. The details were incredible. The infusion of western and Hindu ceremony was perfectly balanced and stunning to document. So many favourite moments...LOVED photographing your day. Thank you Anna and David. A pleasure to work with you!

Sam and Jacy's wedding took place on July 15th at the Inn at Laurel Point. An early start to the day, my assistant Geoff and I loaded up on coffee and starting shooting the "getting readies" at 8am. Makeup artist, Jenny Clark and Hair Stylist Crystal from Anthem salon( our amazing hair and makeup team from Bella Boudoir) were already there working with Jacy and her girls. The day sped along so quickly, with morning formals, and "traditional games" with the wedding party. Entertaining indeed!

Aefat + Nemat - Olympic View Wedding

2011-07-23T21:35:00.000-07:00

Nemat and Aefat were married July 4th at Olympic View Golf Course. Their day was brilliant! Many locations to work with, a couple of different dress changes, a perfect blend of cultures and traditions which I found all very interesting...and Fabulous!

A luncheon at Olympic View to start followed by formals in town. First we headed to the the "Ledge" ( a very popular location with my couples this year), complete with a candy apple red vintage car. Excellent.

Then off to the Empress Hotel (endless richness, textures and colours... love shooting there) and back to Olympic View for the traditional Afghan ceremony, dinner and dancing.

A wonderful day with some awesome people ( loved your family!) Thanks Aefat and Nemat all the best to you and your future together!!!!

Jade + Dino ~Part 3 - The Party

2011-07-19T22:22:00.000-07:00

Jade and Dino had their wedding ceremony months ago and asked me to photograph their party/reception/boat cruise held last Sunday. They also asked me to photograph their "stylized" engagement session and their wedding attire session ... all on different days. See the links to past blog posts.
So here is part 3. We started off at the "Ledge" for some family photos and then everyone jumped in limos and headed to the docks where the "Orca Spirit" took Jade, Dino and their guests on a evening harbour cruise (unfortunatley it was a little too rough out on the open water, so we had to opt for the Inner Harbour).
Huff n Puff did an amazing job transforming the boat ... I could not stop taking photos of all the details. Wonderful.
After the outdoor tea ceremony dinner was served and then the cake was cut.
With little room for the "photo booth" indoors and with a the gorgeous scenery and setting sun outdoors we opted to do the shots outside complete with elvis sun glasses and gold chains.
A wonderful and different reception. Loved being out on the water even if it was for work...
all the best Jade and Dino. And thank you for your ideas, enthusiasm, creativity and being 2 cool people.

And another shout out to Geoff my assistant extraordinaire... always a pleasure having you be my second shooter! You rock my friend.

Michelle and Ian were married last weekend at the stellar Kirkland House in Ladner. A gorgeous old farm house and an idyllic setting for a wedding. Clouds and rain and even fog? started the day off but the sun broke through just in time for the ceremony and for the rest of the party.

I've known Michelle's sister (aka Shalese Sharamba) and better known as Naomi "Campbell the super model" Harding for about 15 years and during that time I have had the pleasure to get to know the hilarious Harding clan .

RECYCLED- Rooftop Editorial Shoot

2011-05-27T12:47:00.000-07:00

FREE COUTURE CLUB's first exciting promotional shoot....presents.....two ravine's and crow designs..set to wow the runway at Victoria Art Gallery's second annual Art Attire Fashion Show 2011!!!!

On Thursday, I had the pleasure of working with more fabulous people. I orginally met Daniel (owner and dreamer of Free Couture Club and black winged goth guy in Spoilt Rotten photos) at the Goth photo session for Spoilt Rotten. He asked me if I would like to shoot a promo piece for the Art Gallerys Art Attire Fashion Show. I love shooting fashion, so I jumped at the chance. Up on top of his 14th story condo we held the shoot. SCARY... I really dislike heights but my fears soon subsided once I got in the zone and we started the photo session. The makeup, hair, styling and clothes were inspiring to say the least.

Something completely different to shooting weddings! As Daniel puts this is what a wedding 200 years into the future might look like.

These clothes are made from RECYLCED tires! Look closely and you can see the tire company's logo on his arm cuff.
Fabulous!

JACY + SAM ~ Engagement Session in Victoria

2011-05-08T22:40:00.000-07:00

Jacy and Sam... a great couple whose wedding I am so looking forward to shooting in July had their photo session a few weeks back!

We braved the ever blowing spring winds (Oh the things we put up with living in one of the most gorgeous places in the world!) and headed to one of my fav locals McCaulay Point for a few photos.

I love when my couples bring along their dogs! I am a dog owner myself and having no kids you know my dog is SPOILed rotten! I think Sam and Jacy's dog Bebe (sp?) is in the same category. What a sweetheart!

Seeking some shelter from the winds we headed downtown after a brief stop at the breakwater. Gotta love the neon lights of the city. Lovin the night shoots.
Another fun session with a sweet couple.
Thanks Jacy and Sam for rockin the cold.
