Rob & Courtney: Teaser!

I thought I'd post a quick sneak peak of Rob & Courtney's wedding that took place yesterday in Calgary. I'm just on my way to Brooks to visit my Dad for a few days, and I'll be posting some more photos from the wedding in a day or two! SO many to choose from!

Happy Summer!

Birthday Present!

I was sitting at my desk today editing away, listening to some Xavier Rudd, contemplating making a sandwich, when the doorbell rang. To my surprise there was UPS man with a rather large box, more imporantly a rather large box with MY name on it!

I jumped for joy, squealed like a schoolgirl, scared the hell outta the delivery guy, and ran back into the house (box included)!

A birthday present?! For me?! My girlfriend, Grit, purchased it for me only 2 days ago and already it was here! ACK! I thought all those times around Christmas sneaking about the house and opening everything with my name on it were LONG gone!!! How can I do this?!!??!?!? How the heck am I going to manage NOT opening it until my birthday next week?!

The worst part is, I know what it is already!!! ITS HARD NOT TO WHEN YOU ONLY HAVE ONE THING ON YOUR BIRTHDAY LIST!!!
AND SHE USED MY CREDIT CARD TO ORDER IT ONLINE!!!

Why isn't it June 26th already!? Why, God, Why?!

Hrmph.... if I knew how to make a coolass sideways pouty face instead of a smiley face on the keyboard, I'd insert it

*here*.

Guess Who?

Last Thursday I drove out to Langley for a portrait session with none other than the fabulous photographer Jamie Delaine! We had a blast trudging around a big farmer's field, dodging mudholes and wet grass, but Jamie was such a ROCKSTAR and managed to do it without getting a speck of dirt on her dress! Now, if I'm not mistaken, this was her Grad Dress, and it was HER idea to muck about in this field wearing this EXTREMELY elegant dress... may very well be the most daring person I know!!

Let me know what you think of the photos and slideshow, and leave some blog lovin' for her too! 

(I'm not going to mention that my car got stuck in the field and that it was totally my fault and I had to spend $1000 in 4 days just to get the car fixed again... and a few loads of muddy laundry too... nope, I'm not going to mention that... it would be too embarrasing.. The End.)

Lori & Jason: Wedding

...or rather Lori & Jason & Anna's Wedding! I honestly don't know who was more excited during the wedding day: Jason, Lori, or Anna, Lori's daughter. It was such a beautiful wedding at Swan-E-Set, despite the gloomy JUNE-TOBER weather. We really didn't mind so much, we all had such a ball driving around in the golf carts from location to location! 

Stay tuned for the Slideshow!!!

Lori has Gorgeous eyes, I love the angle of this shot!

The Rings on The Keys :)

Tell me this dress isn't the coolest wedding dress you've ever seen!

Yes its a SLIGHTLY set-up shot, but it totally works! Plus these guys love to work the camera lol

I do! Hey, Me too!

Dramatic Clouds = Dramatic Photos!

Looks like she found her Knight in shining armour :) 

The Clan. I just love how little Anna threw her hands up in the air too! :)

I love this sequence of the garter toss!

First Dance as Husband and Wife...

Thank you so much for letting me be a part of you day guys! I had a blast and you really made me feel like I was part of the family. All the best, Lori Jason and Anna!

A Quick Note to Catch Up

Hello Everyone! Things have been REALLY picking up here with weddings, meetings, engagement sessions, and DOG SITTING, so I have really thrown the blog on the back burners for the past week or so...my apologies guys n gals! I am alive however, I have just been really busy with playing "Catch Up"... I will be blogging some big posts in the next day or two, one of them being from Lori & Jason's Wedding on Friday (awesome wedding, AMAZING dress!)... hang tight everyone ok? Good things are coming!

Random Note: I have invented a word that really sums up the weather we have been having here on the lower mainland lately... that word is: "Junetober". Yes, its June 10th and feels like October!!! Where is Summer?!?!?!?

Random Photo: Last Monday I was at Jackie Cohen's house (CEO of Army & Navy Department Stores LTD.) covering her annual "Face The World Foundation: Fundraiser". There were several high-end guests there, but there was one guest of honor that I just HAD to try and get a photo with... Sir Tom Jones.

Will (kickass videographer), Sir Tom Jones, and Mr Sexy-man (but most ppl call me Mike)

Ashley & Kris: E-Session!

Yesterday morning I drove town to White Rock Beach to meet up with Ashley & Kris for their engagement shoot! It was SUCH a beautiful day, and we had such a wicked time! It was such a crazy day! Climbing trees, dodging ELECTRICAL FENCES, wading in water up to our knees with jelly fish and crabs all around us, it was SO fun!

Here is a taste of what's to come! Stay tuned tomorrow for some more INCLUDING the slideshow!
