Hi Internets!!!

Once again, apologies it’s been a while.

I have been busy shooting, shooting, shooting and once again my blog has fallen second, BUT about to have many posts very soon so feel free to check back daily. (so sorry)

Here are a few promo pics from a wonderful called the Wonderful Diving Horses I photographed recently.

If you like music in Vancouver, they are a great bunch of guys and you should check them out here to see when and where they are playing.

Thanks to the Narrow Lounge for allowing us to use your space. x

It’s good luck if it rains on your wedding day…and beautiful luck they had

Katie’s gorgeous gown was from Justin Alexander, bought at Sposa Wedding World

beautiful red roses from the flower factory complimented the gorgeous accessories of the bride

meanwhile at the Vancouver Club the fabulous JHo captured the boys in their element.

When Katie and Paul had their first look – it was beyond incredible. That rainy day luck came true.

The love that poured from both these two was so magical as you can see for yourself!!!

and now for the beautiful wedding & reception at the Vancouver Club 

Paul and Katie,  thanks for having us share your big day.  So awesome to share in the love.

much love and happiness to both of you

My other passion is music.

This is why I am, who I am, and the reason I started my photography career.

There is something just magical when I document each performer I see, capturing the magic and passion they share with us.

I ‘storytell’ thru my lens, and this is what I saw tonight.

I was blessed to document the legendary Mr. BB King tonight… such a gift and here are some images to enjoy.

and sweet sweet Lucille

I have the best job in the world as a Vancouver portrait photographer.

I love my clients and love seeing their families blossom!!

Remember the gorgeous Louise + Ben when they were pregnant (click here) with little Charlie?

Then we did this little session (click here) with Charlie and now I am so thrilled to be able to document this blog post with their now expanding family. a baby girl – Izzy!!!

please feel free to comment and let me know if you care to see more about my adventure

happy 2013!!

This travel photographer is sad to see 2012 go, but also ready to embrace 2013.  The past few months have been the most amazing time.

These days, my life resembles the book EAT, PRAY, LOVE  (however instead of travelling to Italy, the universe diverted me to Australia)

What a journey I have been blessed to have. What stories I have to share.

I am so looking forward to 2013 and having us share our adventures together.

My bags were packed, ticket in hand, kissed my dog and sent him off to Grandma’s then headed to YVR.

This Vancouver wedding photographer was so excited to get out of the cold and rain and fly to the sun of Australia for the lovely wedding of Nic and Pier.

A wedding in December where it would not be -10, but a lovely summertime wedding at about +35.

you couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day or couple.

Every little details to the wedding was simply perfect.

the bride and her daughter Sophia’s dresses were just divine

some of the most beautiful ‘posy’ (as they are called here) I have ever seen and a birdcage veil to top it off.

something old, borrowed, new and blue

BLING!! I just love things that sparkle

You know me, I’m a shoe gal, but after watching Pier and Renee do all the flowers for her wedding, have such a new appreciation for florists and love flowers as much as my shoes fettish.

The room smelled divine and looked simply fabulous.

Aren’t Sossy’s shoes so adorable with the billy button flowers she wanted in the posy

Pier is just a STUNNING bride isn’t she

The streets of Fremantle are just filled with beautiful colored walls. My favorite.

the wedding and reception were held at the fabulous moore and moore cafe in Freo 

LOVE

gorgeous couple

words can not begin to express the gratitude I feel towards you two and your families for the hospitality you have shown me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!  Greetings from Perth, WA – 2013

I was originally booked to photograph ONE wedding, but as luck had it and word of mouth spread, tickets got changed + got a few more gigs down under.

Blessed as a bee am I.

the wedding of Pier and Nic wedding goes down as one of the most special weddings of my career to me for various reasons.

One reason is because it’s always an honour to document a special event of another photographer (especially their wedding).

Thanks for believing in me and my skills (even though you are a Nikon user) and flying me over, mate.  you are a lucky man to find a woman as lovely as Pier.  love you both! x

here’s a tease pic

It’s so special that the last wedding of 2012 for me this year was in Australia.

I love being a destination wedding photographer. Destination weddings are always so special as they have a different look and feel to my Vancouver weddings.

Isn’t the headpiece Annelise designed AMAZING!

nothing but gorgeous smiles all day for the happy occasion

you know I love me the shoes, and I thought it was so sweet, Matt’s laces were the ‘something blue’

The wedding shared two special occasions, the second was the naming ceremony of their son, Dylan.

OMG how cute is his little vest!!! right?

I love Matt’s beautiful tears when seeing  his wife

Dylan led us all in a cheer!!

the happy couple – so sweet

and love, LOVE, all our portraits.

I can honestly say – this was the a first for me.  I don’t think I have ever photographed a wedding with Kangaroo as a starter. of course I had to take a snap to show y’all.

Matt, Annelise and Dylan – there are so many more wonderful images to your celebration to share with you.  It was hard to pick my fav’s but here are a few.

Thank you so much for having us share your day.  You are a wonderful couple and can’t wait to show you these images later this week. x
