Most of you probably know Gail Whitton (aka poops) as catering manager of the BROCK HOUSE RESTAURANT  here in Vancouver.  Well, her baby, Adam popped the question recently while they were on vacation in Mexico.  I know everyone is soooooo excited for them and couldn’t wait to post this session for her friends back in London.

since they will be getting married back East, they thought it would be nice to include a bit of their home in Vancouver with them, so we tried to caputure that in some engagement photos… rain and all!

I’m back from Cuba…. and it was the most amazing time of my life!!!!!!

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

I have had the most amazing vacation of my life in Cuba!  I can not believe that we picked the most absolute perfect time to go.  When I left Vancouver, it was hailing snow chunks and when we landed in Cuba, we had absolutely the most perfect, sunny, gorgeous weather… today, I came landed in Vancouver to amazing spring weather and now it’s about to hit rainy, monsoon, hurricane time in Cuba I’m told…  I can not believe how lucky I am sometimes.  This year I feel like I am on permanent vacation!!

What happens in Cuba… well, (I can’t really remember everything) but I think in there are a few hundred photos to show a few of the stories of this amazing holiday!  ;)

I will share one fun story with you before I hit my overflowing email inbox, as I know some of mi amigos and amigas from the vacation are anxious to see it.

Una and Keven got married last year in Kelowna, had a ‘friend’ photograph it, and the photos were good, but not GREAT… how to solve this problem?!  and what was she going to do with the dress again?!

my suggestion….TRASH IT!!!!!!     How much fun is this?!!!!!

Oh sweet, beautiful Mel.  Words can not describe how happy I am for you and Sacha. I just can not wait to meet this beautiful angel that you have created.

I first met Mel when she hired me to photograph her wedding to Sacha.  (Click here to see some snaps of this wedding of all weddings!) Wow, what a gorgeous, spectacular wedding day that was!

I first photographed her and fiance (now husband) Sacha, as she was the maid of honor at Alexandra and Don’s wedding - another spectacular event!  and now I am so blessed to call her a friend, and now share in her life with her expanding family.

She is just glowing isn’t she?!  STUNNING!!!!

of course, Jet Ranger, their pup, had to share the spotlight.

woof.. who’s in there?!

On her wedding day, I had visions of one day wrapping her spectacular St. Pucchi veil around the newborn, so we practiced with Mel’s belly.  Pretty isn’t it?!

My guess is it’s a boy, and born by the 22 of the month.  Anyone else?!

oh and a big thanks to my ‘assistant’ (C. Jones) for these snaps of Mel and I!

much love to you!  xx

Merry Christmas Matt and MaryEllen!

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

With most of my clients, I develop very special friendships and lasting bonds.

I didn’t meet Mary Ellen until the week of her wedding as she lived/lives in Panama. (see here for the wedding photos and here for the engagement photos.) After many emails back and forth, I knew we would have a blast on her day.
When we did meet - I fell in love with her, her children, and her family.

I just wanted to share a little slide show from her fabulous wedding. She has yet to choose her photos from the 1,200 I gave her….so I thought I would choose some of my fav’s that documented her wedding to Matthew.

Merry Christmas lady! I miss you!!!!!!
