10 of my favorite 2011 wedding images

Helene — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:37:34 +0000

I chose these images because at times they were unusual almost border line eerie, other times mysterious and ambiguous, and at times just plain romantic. Looking forward to year 2012 and what this exciting year will bring! Again, with much gratitude to all the couples of 2011 who made photography so much fun!

Thank you to the 2011 weddings!

Below are one or two images chosen from each wedding of 2011. I chose these images for either their sense of humour, their heartfelt moment, their beauty and or uniqueness. Thanking each and every one of you for your trust in my lens. Many bring props, conjure up themes and playfulness while other couples work naturally with the elements exposed to them – all of which makes for both creative and spontaneous images. It is a privilege and honour to photograph so many amazing heartfelt couples as well as their supportive families and friends. A heartfelt thank you!

Cheryl and Emily, Brentwood Bay Lodge, Brentwood Bay, BC

I just LOVE my job for all the fabulous people I’ve met this year including two fabulous ladies from Australia whom eloped and chose Brentwood Bay Resort to spend their wedding weekend. It did not matter where on the premises nor did they fuss about the signing table. Their sense of humour reflected their choice of shoes and their flexibility for random locations throughout Saanichton. Way fun!

David and Dominic, Hatley Castle, BC

Dominic and David chose Hatley Castle to be married at and the colors this time of year are stunning! The rain did not phase their spirits one bit! Their story is a heartfelt one and the emotions ran high throughout the day amongst family and friends whom came from many parts of the US. I look forward to visiting you in San Fransisco!

Jennifer and Neil, Sea Cider, Sidney BC

Helene — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 03:51:26 +0000

Jennifer and Neil chose the lovely Sea Cider Farm to be married at. Prior to the ceremony we had one and half hours to roam the area and came across the cabbage patch. The light was simply magic and a visual treat! If I had it my way, I would lock the sun and clouds into a permanent Autumn setting with a warm summer late afternoon heat. Ah……

Jennifer and Geoff, Middle Beach, Tofino, BC

Helene — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 00:50:36 +0000

Jennifer and Geoff were married at the lovely Middle Beach Lodge, Tofino on what was rumored to be the warmest day recorded in years! Most appropriate for the tribal party following into the night accompanied by the fabulous musician Shane Philip. A fabulous idea to get your friends and family out of their formal wear into fine loin clothes and facial paint. My tribal name was Trigger fish. So much fun it was!

Genevìeve and Jeff, backyard, Sidney, BC

Helene — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 00:49:25 +0000

Genevìeve and Jeff chose to marry in an intimate setting behind their parents backyard. After their heartfelt ceremony we strolled around the Saanich farmlands where the landscape is just simply breath taking followed by a quick pit stop in Chinatown.

Michele and Joshua, Black Rock resort, Ucuelet, BC

Helene — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 23:23:50 +0000

Michele and Joshua chose Black Rock Resort as their venue of choice. The surrounding sea and environs make it a stunning place. Their families and friends were remarkably animated and kind!

Hastings House, Saltspring, BC

Helene — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 22:28:04 +0000

One of my favorite wedding planners’ Kirstin (sales@hastingshouse.com) asked me to photograph Hastings House for their website. A remarkable place nestled on top of a hill overlooking Ganges Harbour. It was truly a pleasure to work with Tasha and Jesse whom married only a month before and did not hesitate to wear their wedding clothes once again. Camille and Alex from San Fransisco were married only the day before, their flowers still fresh! I look forward to photographing weddings at this beautiful venue.

Melissa and Dan, Poets’ Cove, Pender Island, BC

Helene — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 20:18:31 +0000

Melissa and Dan reminded me a little of Bonnie and Clyde at least from their clothing and props. Much fun! They were married at Poets’ Cove surrounded by wonderful families and guests.
