Charlotte’s stunning belly, Victoria BC

Helene — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 03:40:17 +0000

Charlotte, is not her real name, due to her public profile status requested that I do not upload any recognizable images of her. Understandable… but oooooooooh, we did such a good shoot together! Wish you three all the very best!!!

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!

Jennifer and Neil, Sea Cider, Sidney BC

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……

Always a treat to witness the magic of pregnancy and the trust of these beautiful ladies!

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

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.

Melissa’s beautiful belly

Gorgeous belly indeed. Melissa and Wade were married last year and well, there you go a family has sprung. She’s about to give birth any week now and her excitement to meet this new person is clear. I’m a lucky gal to meet such wonderful families! Wish you three the very best!

Harjog and Ian, Cattle Point, BC

Helene — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 20:02:25 +0000

They came all the way over from Australia to marry close to their roots and families. An intimate and elegant wedding with only their close families to witness their vows along side Cattle Point. The colors from their saris and overcast skies made for a visual treat! Harjog and Ian were so wonderfully relaxed throughout the day. After their heartfelt ceremony we wondered peacefully to a café then through Fan Tan Alley with no specific agenda. Harjog being a photographer herself understood the process and for this I am grateful.

Tasha and Jesse, Craigdarroch Castle, Victoria BC

Helene — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:20:52 +0000

From classic imagery in a classic Castle to the surreal. A creative and wonderful wedding day it was with the lovely Tasha and soulful Jesse! Jesse has family lineage with the Dunsmir family therefor he and Tasha had privileged access to otherwise roped off areas. Although we were not to touch anything except the piano and pool table. Slightly limited but nevertheless a visual treat! Jesse’s hat made for some wonderful shapes and themes. And what a relief it was to have beautiful overcast skies on what is normally the brightest time of year! Tasha and Jesse, a pleasure it was to photograph you and your kind families!

Corrina and Keith, St. Anns’ Academy, Victoria BC

Helene — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 21:06:06 +0000

Corrinas’ and Keith’s love for one another and their photogenic wedding was a visual treat to capture! Beautiful hats were worn, tasteful shoes, a fabulous theme home where colors were abundant and the guests wore epic clothes. This is my 2nd wedding in this family whom I truly enjoy and admire!

Caroline + Ryan, Villa Marco Polo Inn, Victoria, BC

Helene — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:23:21 +0000

Caroline and Ryan chose Villa Marco Polo Inn for their wedding ceremony and the Brentwood Bay Resort for the reception. Ryan and his friends got ready at the classic Empress Hotel and Caroline at Brentwood Bay Resort. A tad bit of driving here and there but was lucky with parking spots. And the very talented Jenny from Pacific Make Up Group did the makeup. The sun this summer is relentless, sharp as a butchers’ knife. Not a cloud of forgiveness… and I’m certainly not a fan of flash if I can avoid it. Available light is simply beautiful on it’s own. So in post I rekindled with the image wash technique to ease some of the hot spots and it’s been fun! Just a few images here and there to add some visual variety doesn’t hurt. Caroline and Ryan were a pleasure to photograph, always giggling and playful!
