jennifer & frank were on hornby for the weekend looking for the perfect venue for their 2010 wedding. It was a gorgeous west coast weekend & we got together late in the afternoon to do an engagement session. It was HOT! So we started off in the shade of the forest & some huge maple trees, & then headed to the waterfront & the shade of a perfect arbutus grove. It never ceases to amaze me just how beautiful it is here! And jennifer & frank fit right in... laid back, easy going & fun. The initial shyness in front of the lens faded into sillyness & their very sweet & deep connection with one another shone through. Here's a taste from our afternoon...
I fell in love with photographs when I was a child, spending hours pouring over old family albums (probably when i was supposed to be tidying my room) - intrigued by the stories captured in those still frames, the people and places they held. Photography still fascinates me for much the same reason. I approach my work as i approach life... with dedication and wonder, a sense of discovery and joy, and a good dose of humour to keep even the challenges light. When working, i stay in the background, capturing events as they unfold rather than directing the movement of the day. In this way, the images reflect the truth and spirit of the day. Candid and uncontrolled, the photographs speak of the people they capture and the feeling of the moments they hold. Shots that demand a little organizing are arranged in an easy-going manner, with a spirit of sharing and fun. When photographing babies, children & families, I follow small (and large) clients around as they play and connect. Each session is more like a play-date or shared family-time, and before you know it, as you all settle into the fun, you won't even know you're being photographed!
