tess & a tilt shift

today it was supposed to rain. But the sun came out. And tess' clothes came off. And my new lens made it's maiden journey into my world. Here's a little taste of our fun...

frannie & dan

it's not everyday i get to photograph my own daughter's wedding... but lucky me, i get to capture it not once but three times! Frannie & dan are getting married in stages - stage one, yesterday evening on cattle point in victoria, their legal marriage - with dan's family, dear sarah & tess & i to witness. Next stage, the wedding in the dominican (stay tuned end of november). Stage 3, the reception bash for family & friends at the marriot in victoria early december. Woot, woot. And the journey begins...

so a taste of stage 1 below... shot with tess in my arms, tears in my eyes, & the sun setting behind us. Joy.

sarah & evan

i could not have picked a more perfect couple to end my wedding season with than sarah & evan. These 2 are amazing. Totally grounded & at ease, deeply in love, honest & sweet & fun. Their day was a fabulous west coast wedding - rain & wind - & it didn't faze them one little bit. I've always found it to be a beautiful omen for a marriage when a couple can welcome whatever their day brings with smiles & an open heart. Based on that, sarah & evan are going to have a long & delightful marriage, full of wonder & discovery & deep joy. For that is how they walked through their day. Thank you both, for allowing me to wander through your day with you, capturing a little of the magic you shared with us all...
