The magnificent and menacing clouds of Alberta’s big skies was splendid and added a touch of drama to the lovely Cathy and Van’s photo seance. For a short while I was in heaven as the light was kind. The bright and colourful ceremony had a touch of both Korean and Chinese traditions which included a pig roast and bountiful gifts from family and guests. Live music from friends and the most dancing I’ve ever witnessed with the wiser generation. Not sure what was in the food but they kept on going into the wee little hours!

Two remarkable kindred spirits that are fortunate enough to have found each other!
Roberta hired me to capture their relationship as Bear has been recently diagnosed with a terminal ailment. They both taught me even more gratitude and to seize the day even more still.

By the time Hurricane Thomas arrived on S.Caicos it was categorized as a level 1 and unfortunately for the visuals it happened in the dark at 3AM. Nevertheless the build up to it was exciting for us all. Mike and staff followed protocol and took the necessary steps towards safety such as boarding the windows, clearing loose items and removing all dive boats from the waters. We then re-located to a half finished Hotel where the cement structure and double pane windows were safer. Daniel and crew of the Hotel were excellent hosts making sure everyone was comfortable. The storm passed quickly in the night with most impressive winds with deafening sounds to my ears. I can’t imagine a Hurricane level 2 let alone, 3 or 4! I just can’t.

It is a blessing when the couple gives you the full green light, loves B&W and it’s a backyard wedding. No stress, very little structure and a fabulous party where friends, family and kids were free to roam and play. It was not about the bouquet or rings, but rather their focus was on the reunion of friends and family. A remarkable heartfelt celebration, blessings A:K!

My sweet neighbor asked me to photograph her mom so she can simply hold a memory of her. An honor it was and in return I experienced the fragility of time and was reminded of our relationships with people dear to us. It’s humbling.
