Cara + Mike:: Married

You may remember this couple from their uber-fabulous engagement session......they were such great

models that their faces even ended up on "vintage glam weddings"blog, making me, of course...very proud:) Well, they didn't

disappoint when it came to their big day. Each tiny detail was unique and reflective of the couple, and surprises seemed to pop

up around every corner. From the purple jewelled shoes to the birdcage veil Cara "forgot" to tell me about...and their first

dance. The dance. WOW! Once they get video up I will make sure to upload it for all to see, because it was spectacular! After a

complete outfit change into full-on 80's inspired hip-hop gear, Mike and Cara busted through the reception doors to the

beats of "Boom Boom Pow". The choreography was amazing and the played the roles to a "t". It's going to be tough to top that

one I tell ya!


Thank you to everyone involved.....Heiress Salon for the "do's", Mac for the makeup and Linden Gardens for keeping your

venue looking so beautiful. And a BIG thank you to my fave second shooter, Brooke Bowland for helping me out....SUCH a great

time!


Make sure to stay tuned for Mike and Cara's "after" session which we will be shooting in the cold next weekend. It will be

showing up on my fancy new blog that is getting close to going live:) Thank you so much to both of you for choosing me; I

loved every second of it.....

Dana + Dustin:: Wedding

Last weekend I had the honour of photographing Dustin and Dana's wedding. They travelled here with their families and friends

from Alberta, and I believe they all had a fabulous time. The day was calm and beautiful and everything came together just as it

should. Thank you to Heritage Flowers in Penticton, and Michelle and Bre of CinCin Events for doing such a fabulous job of the

flowers and details.



And Dana, Dustin and your gorgeous little man....thank you so much for choosing me. We had crazy weather....wind and swirling

skies, and you brought it! I had a wonderful day. Thank you.

Adrienne & Greg: Sneak Peek

So here it is you two! A very small peek. but a peek at that! I've been a bad blogger lately, waiting for the reveal of my fancy new

blog ( next week, hopefully)!


I had a super-duper fantastic time at this wedding....fabulous couple with great chemistry and they are obviously smitten with

each other, even after 7 years:) Thanks again for having me be a part of the day; it was one of my faves to date....and Adrienne,

you were STUNNING!!!!


Stay tuned for many, many more....

Dustin + Brittany:: Married

What a great day this was for a wedding. It was hot, splendidly sunny and the location was just beautiful. Brittany and Dustin

were married at St Andrew's golf course outside of Penticton B.C. and I loved it. There were lakes, willows,and just off the grounds

was semi-desert for as far as you could see. Stunning.


As for their abilities in front of the camera? Well.....what can I say? They were both at ease, and Brittany....truly, you looked

amazing; I could have photographed you all day!


Thanks again to both of you for having me along; I had a fantastic time:)

Lisa & Jason:: After

While on the Island, I got the opportunity to meet up with past wedding clients of mine, Lisa & Jason. A year has passed, and we

celebrated their "almost" anniversary with a fun photo session in Victoria. I had the idea to shoot in Fantan Alley, Chinatown

which is a personal fave as this was the location of some of my wedding photos taken 5 years ago ( not NEARLY as fun as this

session as we got married in Febraury...yuck)!


They were both troopers and never once complained about the gawking onlookers, the heat, or even the very spastic Jack

Russell that would NOT stop jumping over their faces in some ground shots we did.....I mean, COME ON dog owners; CONTROL

YOUR PETS!!!!


Overall the shoot turned out great, and I'm so glad we had the chance to meet up once again.....


Hope you enjoy them:)

Nicole & Tyler: Almost Married

What a great evening I had last night! I was lucky enough to photograph Nicole and Tyler's engagement session, and we had a

blast! The forecast called for rain, but their wedding planner Michelle of CinCin Events had a little rain dance for me.....and it

worked! Their wedding is being held in July, and although I'm not their photographer, they have hired Rochelle Westgarde out of

Vernon, who is INCREDIBLE! I cannot WAIT to see what she comes up with.



Thank you so much for having me do your photos.....you were both fantastic models ( As you can see by the TONNE of photos

I've posted)! Comfortable in front of the camera, listened to my "direction" ( I'm a wee bit on the bossy side) and INSANELY

good looking; what more could a girl ask for?! Also a special thanks to Brooke for joining us last minute...it's always more fun

having an extra body to laugh at me!
