Mike & Sarah: Wedding

UPDATE: The Slideshow has been added at the bottom of this post!!

The second I got home from Mike & Sarah's wedding today, I could NOT wait to play with the photos! The wedding was on the sunshine coast at The Rockwater Secret Cove Resort, and it was an absolutely perfect wedding!! My assistant Carrie and I took the ferry up Friday afternoon and was warmly greeted by the entire Ware/Peterson clan. The rehearsal was fantastic and we had lots of fun getting to know everyone during the dinner and cocktails. Everyone knew it was supposed to rain on the wedding day, but kept optimistic... and as luck would have it, there wasn't a single drop of rain until literally the SECOND we went inside for the reception!

Mike and Sarah, we had such an amazing time with you and your family, and I am sincerely honored to have you guys in my life. I hope the photos we have captured on your special day will bring back all the love and emotions that we certainly felt while we were with you!

Michael

p.s. I will update this entry in the next day or two with your slideshow! Keep checking in!

Kuljeet: Portrait Session!

I drove downtown today to meet my very good friend Kuljeet Kaila for a portrait session. She had just had her hair done at Eveline Charles, and found this really great purple wall across the street that we just COULDN'T pass up!

Sheryl & Scott: E-Session!

I met up with Scott & Sheryl on Saturday down at the Denman entrance to Stanley Park for their engagement session. They are planning a sweet wedding for September 6th but simply couldn't wait another minute for the engagement session (neither could I!). We stopped in for a coffee to let the sun go down a bit further, and we got a chance to catch up since the last time we met in September. Once the coffees were finished, we took a drive up to Third Beach  for some sunset photos. We got there a little earlier than we expected (cant predict Vancouver traffic AT ALL) so we took some open shade photos before those last golden moments of sunshine!

A few warmup shots, don't these guys look SO good together?!

I just love close-up snuggly shots :)

LOVE this one!

A little extra glow for that settin' sun!

I threw this in cause I thought it was kinda cool! :)

Sexy-time!

Of course, ya gotta have some fun too ;)

I can't wait til September guys!!!

I shot myself!

Its been a while since I had my own photos taken (for promo work, facebook, you know the important stuff), so I thought that I would take a stab at a self-portrait until I could find time to get one of the millions of talented photogs in the area to help me out!

Its a little blurry but I really like this shot... Grit helped me tonight with about 50 photos, and she is quite the amazing little photographer.... but I am a very UNamazing smiler.... it sounds very negative, but really, your worst critic is yourself, right?! Sadly, despite her attempt, I really didn't like how I looked in any of them... 

Anyways, I was happy with this one, ironically it was the very first one of the day that I shot!

I thought I would post a before/after shot of my post processing work, check it out!
