Sharon & Sergio

I was lucky enough to attend two weddings this past weekend!  One of which was in Chilliwack, BC, set in the beautiful yard of Sergio & Sharon.

These are my favourite types of weddings; simple, intimate, casual and gorgeous!  Plus what more can you say about having such a knock-out-good-looking couple to photograph!  I loved all of their little western touches, including a family ride on their Horse, Macho.  The kids were too sweet for words.  They just loved being a part of the ceremony and were excited welcoming their new Step Dad, officially into the family.

A huge congratulations to Sharon, Sergio, Oliver & Charlie <3

The Pahl Family

I had a wonderful shoot this past weekend with the Pahl family...

I spent the afternoon with Scott, Lyndsy and their two stunning, blue eye’d little girls. Their eldest daughter Graesha is probably the most photogenic person I have ever encountered.  Neither I, nor my camera, could get enough of her beauty and radiant smile.  Little Lyla on the other hand, went to the beat of her own drum. Equally adorable with those incredible blue eyes and blonde locks, however Lyla wasn’t as interested in playing model and was much more excited about sticks and water bottles.  None the less, this beautiful family was sure able to produce some gorgeous photographs. Even Lyla was patient while we coaxed her into sitting for a photo, instead of exploring and chasing ducks.  Thank you Pahl family for the beautiful afternoon and all of the laughs.

Enjoy!

Andrew Rommens Equestrian

I spent the afternoon with equestrian rider, trainer and coach, Andrew Rommens of Highliner Stables.   Andrew is an incredibly talented and skilled rider.  During our time together I watched him show off his drassage & western riding skills.  I was especially impressed by his interaction with the horses, always showing patience.
Here are a few photos from our shoot.  Enjoy!

Brittney & Jeremy's Engagement

It's shoots like this that make me feel like I have the best job in the world...

How often do you meet new people and within an hour you make two new wonderful friends!  Well that was the case during my engagement session with Brittney & Jeremy.  These two were so much fun not only to photograph, but even just to be around.  We had a fantastic time sipping wine, roasting mallows and making smores.  I am absolutely thrilled that I was asked to be their photographer for their wedding this September.  I look forward to seeing them both decked out to the nines and busting some moves on the dance floor.

Congratulations on your engagement Brittney & Jeremy!!

Sunshine Island with Elaine Lil'Bit Shepherd & Paka Music

I don't know what's better...  Being able to reunite with a friend that you've lost touch with after 10 years, or finding out that they have been so incredibly successful in following their passion.  Well I would have to say both!  Not to mention having your own personal concert on the beach.  I was asked by Juno winner & recording artist, Elaine Lil'Bit Shepherd to capture some photos of her for a promo-shoot to launch her new song, dropping this August.

The first time that I heard Elaine sing, we were both competing against each other in RichCity Idol's singing competition.  I knew the second that I heard her voice fill the room, that it was game over for me.  Now, her amazing voice can be heard all over the world!  Let's also not forget the extremely talented Lance Panerio of Paka Music, giving up some smooth vocals that will also be featured in the August single.

Here are some of my favourite shots from our sunset shoot...
