Anita and Howard
Anita and Howard just had a beautiful wedding with 30 close friends and family at their summer home on South Pender Island.
Their ceremony was officiated with lots of humour by a friend of theirs on the bluffs overlooking the ocean and their own private beach on a perfect sunny Gulf Island day.
Howard is a very talented architect. When he, Anita and I first met at Caffe Sciué near our studio office, they told me of the circa 1920's home they had shipped by barge from it's original location in Fairview Slopes to their property on Pender. And then did a lot of work on it, while keeping it's original charm. Turns out that it is a gorgeous home that I passed by every other day... it was 2 blocks away from a condo I owned for 16 years. It was touching to see it revitalized in it's new and breathtaking location!
After their official ceremony, Anita's father said some heartfelt words and they performed an Indian ceremony by circling a small fire to complete their nuptials.
Then it was lots of laughter and hugs, followed by freshly-shucked oysters and cold and effervescent Veuve Clicquot ... and lots of other great catered cuisine by Laurence Kolf.
Later, we all headed to North Pender Island for a tremendous meal and stunning views at the Hope Bay Café. Two of their guests, Barbara and Jim, said "Hello", when they realized that I had photographed their wedding 12 years ago! So great to see former clients and fondly remember their weddings, too.
Congratulations, Anita and Howard. Your warmth, humour and intelligence are wonderful to be around. I wish you a long and fulfilled life together!

Meagan, Logan, Dexter and Maisie
We had so much fun, laughing and taking pictures!
Meagan and Logan are getting married in July in Whistler. We made these fun family pictures on a quintessentially soaking wet June Vancouver day at Kits beach. The rain gave us a beautiful soft light and we ran and crawled around for about 40 minutes until the kids had had enough.
Afterwards, they treated me to a nice lunch as we warmed up and dried off. Thanks, Meagan and Logan, I'm looking forward to shooting your wedding!

Kim and Vinny
What a colourful wedding!
We started in the morning outside with Vinny while Kim waited inside the Temple with her girlfriends and family. On this gorgeous warm Vancouver day, I photographed their ceremony in the morning. In the evening, Kim and Vinny joined me for a 2 hour cruise of Gastown and later for a stunning sunset at English Bay.
Saturday was the last day of many ceremonies for Kim and Vinny. Even though you can't tell in the pictures, I know they were just zonked as they drove back to the Four Seasons to start their first official night of wedded bliss. Congratulations to both of you!

Rebecca and Tommy
What a wonderful couple... they obviously love each other and were so easy and fun to work with!
We just did a short portrait session together in Stanley Park yesterday in the middle of a very busy day for me. Rebecca and Tommy got married later in a brief ceremony at Ferguson Point after I finished taking pictures. My assistant and I had to get going, but I actually watched from a distance for a bit. ;-D
The fresh ocean air was breezing in on this gorgeous early summer day. Thanks for inviting me for this, R+T, you are awesome... I wish you a long and love-filled life together!

Sunshine Coast
For the May long weekend, Regina, Saphira decided to make an impromptu trip up the Sunshine Coast for some R&R. Little Saphira really enjoyed the ferry ride. It was a wonderful feeling being in the sun, with the wind in our faces. The open ocean makes life feel full of hope and adventure!
We brought our camping gear and decided to give it a try with our still-not-a-year-old daughter. Our nervousness proved to be ungrounded; Saphi really enjoyed the tent and most definitely, playing in the ocean at the beach at
Porpoise Bay!
On the second night, we had a great dinner of inspired cuisine at a cool joint called Marcia's on Gower Point Road in Gibson's. There was some sweet live jazzy blues going on, featuring singer/musician Rolf Kempf. Our daughter loves music, and we even danced a bit, with her on my shoulders. Would highly recommend this bistro... Marcia, the owner, is such a class-act sweetheart! Also, for more casual, but yummy and filling plates, try out the Old Boot Eatery
in Sechelt. They serve hearty Italian and fusion food.
We spent two lovely days camping at Sechelt and then headed north to Egmont, where we hiked in to see the awesome power of the changing tides, at
Skookumchuck Narrows.
Regina didn't feel like camping another night, so we ended up stopping at Rock Water Resort at Secret Cove, that I first heard about from our über-photographer friend, Erin Gilmore.
They took great care of us at the resort! We had a nice room with a view and spent some time at the pool surrounded by Arbutus trees the next day before heading home. Definitely check out this resort for its beautiful view and ambiance. They have rooms and a good restaurant in the lodge and also private cabins and unique tent homes dramatically perched on the bluffs.
