Aislin & Steve – September 18th

I was lucky enough to get back to my homeland for the second time in just a few weeks. This time for good friends Steve & Aislin’s wedding in quaint Maple Bay, Vancouver Island, at the Quamichan Inn. It was also a treat to have my fiancĂ©e, Allison, along with me (thanks for being my assistant even though you were a guest too!). It was a beautiful occasion: full of teary emotion and laughs, and luckily not full of rain, as the pouring let up in the morning and waited until after the ceremony and photos to start again. Their family includes Milo, a gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog (who looked dapper in his bow tie), who was so well-behaved during the ceremony. They were a joy to photograph, with so many great moments, and love seemed to ooze through every photo together.

That’s their house in the top right corner of this shot… great ocean view!

Sometimes those cute moments happen when I least expect it, like when we were about to leave in the car for our location photos.

The sun peaked out for just a few brief minutes…

We found a canoe on the beach just calling their names, so they went for a paddle…

Steve impressed us all with his musical abilities on guitar, drums and vocals as his band performed in their self-described first and last wedding gig.

Even Aislin got in on the action…

Rebecca & Derek – September 4th

Well, it was quite the wild weather for Rebecca & Derek’s big day. There was lots of rain and wind up to 70 kms/hour which rattled the doors out at Gold Creek Chapel. The two both seemed quite at ease despite the inconvenience, and very lucky for us the wind and rain let up at just the right time after we had already resigned ourselves to covered or indoor photos only. So we used the break to get some shots around the chapel before another spell of sideways rain hit an hour later.
