Natalie + Perry. Engaged.

We found a day full of sunshine to to take photos with Natalie & Perry in between the strange snowstorms hitting Vancouver earlier this month. The light falling through the forest and around buildings on campus at the University reminded me of how much I love the long shadows of winter sun. They meet at UBC as students so we headed out there and even spent some time in the classroom where they first meet! They were brave in our sub zero temperatures and I can't wait to document the summer wedding of these two lovely souls in August.

 

This Great Society - Shorepine Bog

I contributed a series of images to This Great Society's December & January "The Great Outdoors" issue. You can see and read more over on their site for another week and a half before they publish the February issue.

Ian + Rachel. Married

This is a belated blog post from a late-summer wedding in Manitoba — set in a Mennonite Heritage village,  featues include a bicycle-built-for-two, sunflower fields, and plenty of sports-themed moments for a bride and groom who are both athletes. I think the location for of a giant wooden windmill takes the prize for most original location I've photographed yet for wedding vows.

Portraits, Zaac Pick

Vancouver musician, Zaac Pick, just released his new EP in late November titled, Whitewater. These are some of the press shots and a few outtakes from our shoot (Polaroids to come.). I normally avoid taking photos of musicians with their guitars but this album and vintage 60's Martin made it appropriate it for a few frames. Also, just in time for Christmas he released a single. I may be biased, but it's in heavy rotation on my office speakers as we ease into December and the holiday season. 

Dr. Hanson, TWU Magazine cover + portraits

Dr. Hanson was the first president of Trinity Western University. For the latest issue of the TW Magazine I shot the cover image with Dr. Hanson (or more his shoe and a spade) and also a series of portraits with Dr. Hanson in the studio. Below are a few of the published images and outtakes.
