Last year, I got a call from Mandy… she and Karl were getting married here in Vancouver and she would love for me to shoot their wedding. Happily, I had their date available and we booked it! I then had the pleasure of meeting them both when they were in town last summer for their engagement shoot… what a blast they are! Mandy is a gorgeous girl from Alberta who met her handsome fiance, Karl in the security line up at an airport… they chatted a bit and luckily he was resourceful enough to track her down when they both got back to Calgary and they have been together ever since. A few years go by (during which Karl is signed as a defenseman for the Washington Capitals), followed by a romantic engagement in Whistler… and now the two are planning their wedding next month here in Karl’s hometown of Vancouver. If the wedding is half as much fun as their engagement shoot, the guests are in for a great time! These two absolutely adore each other , they love to laugh and are a joy to be around… AND I am very much looking forward to working with their very talented and lovely wedding planner, Alicia of Alicia Keats Weddings and Events on their big day of celebrations at the Vancouver Convention Center.
As much as they love each other, their sweet dachshunds, Murphy and Charlie got their share of love as well… a funny story, the dogs had their own 5 minutes of fame recently which you can read about here…
Looking forward to seeing you two lovebirds in a few weeks on the wedding day!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love jewellery. Even my Mom says she thinks I was a gypsy in a past life… which I think could be entirely possible! Therefore, you can imagine how happy I was when the fabulously stylish Adina Neufeld asked me to do some headshots for her recently. Adina is a powerhouse stylist with the gorgeous jewellery line, Stella & Dot. And, I’ll be honest, I am completely addicted to Stella & Dot jewellery. Don’t judge… there are far worse addictions, I can assure you.
Adina is such an awesome woman. Not only is she one of the hardest working, supportive and fun women I know, she has also figured out the secret. You want to know what the secret is? If you’re doing what you love, it doesn’t seem like work, silly! Not only does she have THE most drool-worthy collection of baubles and jewels to choose from every day (I’m sorry, do I sound a bit jealous?), but she also gets to work with an amazing community of women. Stella and Dot is a quickly growing Fortune 500 company and is unique in that it is only sold through in-home trunk shows by personal stylists, like my good friend, Adina. I can personally attest to how fun the trunk shows are as I hosted one recently and it was a blast! Lots of friends, lots of laughs, lots of jewellery… what could be more fun than that?
All the great baubles I have of my own now, that’s what.
Thanks, Adina!

Happy 2012 to everyone! It is a New Year and one I am very excited about… there are a lot of beautiful weddings on the roster this year and lots to look forward to. My first wedding of the year will be this fabulous couple, Erin and Jeff… I had the pleasure of photographing their engagement shoot awhile back and as you can see, not only are they a gorgeous couple and absolutely adorable together, they are also very much in love. I just love it when my couples make my job so easy…
Erin and Jeff are great friends of Kim and Keith, whose wedding I photographed back in September. I look forward to seeing them again at Erin and Jeff’s wedding next month at Swan-E-Set. I just KNOW it is going to be a fun and fabulous wedding day!
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Erin! I hope you’re having a wonderful birthday… see you soon!!
