weddings The first of our May weddings was a beauty day in Vancouver. More to come, but in the meantime, here is a small preview from Kelly + Derrick's day.
commercial, travel A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of spending to two nights in one of Ardtara's beautiful cottages on Bowen Island. Though only a twenty minute ferry ride from Vancouver, Bowen Island feels like an entire ocean away, especially when you're in need of some rest and relaxation after a busy spring. Our cottage was nestled into the forest not too far from the ocean on the south side of the island, and the sunny April weather allowed us time to soak in the scenery with a little hiking, reading, and dining. Each morning our gracious hosts delivered an amazing hot breakfast and steaming lattés right to our door! In the evenings we went for dinner at the Tuscany Restaurant — forno pizza and wine finished the day right. We took a few images of the cottages for them to use on the new website they're working on as well - a highly recommended spot for a great local get-away!
portrait Jeff made the leap to puppy owner last fall with the adoption of Marni, a Shar Pei bundle of wrinkles. Marni means 'Giver of Joy' and if you've ever seen Jeff walking Marni around Gastown or making cameo appearances at parties you'll see she lives up to her name. Before Marni is grows completely beyond her puppy stage, we spent an afternoon taking portraits at Jeff's Gastown loft and outside on his rooftop.
I'm pulling a few images from a shoot in the last issue of the TW Magazine after realizing I neglected to ever post them in the fall. These were done on a lovely hot afternoon out at the UBC Farm — the last fully operating farm in Vancouver. Christopher and Hannah live on the farm year round as the caretakers of the property with their young family. These images are making me wish for gardening season myself. Soon enough, Vancouver.
engagement, portrait 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.
