Cyrus and Anita - Engagement Session

What an amazing day we had for Cyrus and Anita's engagement session! It really could not have been more beautiful outside, and we took full advantage of it while shooting their session in Coal Harbour. This area has it all - scenic mountain and water views, towering highrises, and some very unusual sculptures. Cyrus and Anita fit in perfectly with their cheerful and easy-going personalities - they climbed, crouched, and walked all over Coal Harbour - anything for a cool photo! We're really looking forward to their wedding in April!

Chris' 30th Birthday!

On February 18, we celebrated Chris' 30th birthday. Being that it was somewhat of a milestone, I thought I'd have a little surprise party for him. I arranged to have all our friends meet secretly at the Zone Bowling Centre in Richmond. Chris' brother, Matt, and his girlfriend Dayna, met with us at our place. All Chris knew was that Matt and Dayna were coming out for his birthday and that we were going bowling, but little did he know what would be waiting for him! When we arrived, there were all our friends - needless to say, Chris didn't see it coming and was happily shocked! We then proceeded to a good old fashioned game of guys versus girls bowling - it wasn't competitive at all, of course! After bowling, everyone headed back to our place for a bite to eat, drinks, and DQ ice cream cake (gotta love that ice milk!)


Chris with the guys - I don't think they look too happy because they were losing.

The scoreboard - looks like the guys are doing pretty well now!

Kristi and Brian - March 11, 2006

On Saturday we had the honour of photographing Kristi and Brian's wedding. We were so lucky to have an incredibly beautiful day - there was barely a cloud in the sky! The ceremony was held at Kristi's parents' place, a lovely heritage home with lots of character and decorated with white and green tulips for the big day. After the ceremony we went to Queen Elizabeth Park, which actually still had snow in some areas from the snowfall last week. We've never had the opportunity to do wedding shots with snow in the background, so we were excited! Kristi and Brian both looked fantastic and radiant throughout the shoot, which was a bit chilly for Kristi in her strapless gown! Afterwards a delicious cocktail reception was held at the Arbutus Recreation Club. We wish Kristi and Brian all the very best - enjoy your honeymoon!
