Here’s a sampling from a little fashion shoot I did with www.emilycheng.ca . I’m grateful for the invitation; it was fun to do something a little different and I look forward to collaborating on more styled shoots.

Just a little note to say that I was lucky enough to win a little award the other night from the BC Wedding Awards , and despite a bit of anxiety about not having any appropriate formal wear, I had a great time at the event! Thank you BCWA!

I’m very glad that these two were able to persevere in a cold mud field just before catching their flight! Can’t wait for their wedding. Styling credit goes to one Deepak M!

My first trip to Pemberton was for Tamara and Merle’s wedding and it was a memorable one. I recall having goose bumps a few times. The ceremony which incorporated elements of First Nations tradition took place at the foot of Mt. Currie on North Arm Farm. The reception was held at Greenwater resort in a tent just above a sandy river bank surrounded by towering cottonwood trees. In the evening there was a bonfire on the sand down by the water. The menu was a delicious spread of locally sourced food served family style. The hardworking event coordinator was Marcie Gaukrodger of Bliss Event Planning
(And as a side note, I was fairly in love with Tamara’s Vera Wang silk tulle dress. Yes I was. )

I’m very happy to share this beautiful little wedding which took place at Brix Restaurant, in the charming courtyard– a rare find in Vancouver.

Meredith and Derek’s beautiful wedding took place at Rockwater Secret Cove Resort on the Sunshine Coast. The flowers were by Mi-Won Christiaanse, a talented Sunshine Coast florist who ordered in the lace ribbon for Meredith’s bouquet all the way from NYC! I love commitment and attention to details like that.

I have always stressed over finding portrait locations. Every summer I spend a couple days out of every week driving and walking around the city looking for an ‘interesting’ or attractive location to which I will take couples and bridal parties to be photographed on the wedding day. I try to time it so that I am at my locations at the same time of day with the same probable weather as will be on the wedding; then I hold out my hand and look at the light and shadows. Lately I’ve been stressing over locations in a different way— in the way that locations provide context. Context has always a meaning and sometimes that meaning is irrelevant, confusing or distracting from what is important in the photograph. For this reason I am lately inclined to simplicity. I was initially attracted to this white wall for the contrast it would provide to the ornate Indian wedding clothes; but the more I worked on these images the more I appreciated it as an appropriate backdrop and open space for people from different countries and cultures to be photographed. (Despite our proximity to roses. Pink ones. ) Full blog post to come a bit later, with lots of lovely context.
