Caribbean Day & the Kits Festival

My good friend Miranda and I decided to head out for a fun filled day of photo opps!

We started out taking the sea bus over to North Van, then made our way just past the Quay.  There we found woman and men dressed in some very elaborate costumes, tons of cool trinket booths, loud Caribbean music, stage performances, Jamaican patties, corn on the cob, curries and our favorite... the mini doughnuts.

From there, we made our way back over the water and headed towards 4th and Yew for the Kitsilano Festival.  Again, there were a bunch of little booths, a live dj spinning vinyl, a mini half pipe and live music. We were there to check out this local band from Kelowna, Yukon Blonde.  They were absolutely fantastic!  Their EP comes out this month, so be sure to get your hands on a copy.  You won't be disappointed.

Here are some of my captures...

The Juice Truck

If you're in and around the Vancouver area, be sure to keep your eyes open for the Juice truck!

Not only will you get your daily dose of vitamin C, but it will be served to you with a smile from two very handsome guys.  Zack & Ryan have started up their very own juice company which cruises throughout Vancouver providing the tastiest and freshest juices.  If you see them be sure to check out the avocado pineapple (a fan favorite).  I caught up with them at the Kitsilano Festival where they gave me a tour of their truck and a sample of their house fave.  I've tried them first hand and boy are they delicious!

Here's what to watch for...

Bri & Alec's Wedding

was fortunate enough to be asked by my wonderful friend Chelsea (CBR Photography) to accompany her as her second shooter for Bri & Alec's wedding.  It was absolutely gorgeous!  The setting took place in Alec's grandmother back yard in Whiterock BC.  As it poured all morning, mother nature decided to cease the rain for the occasion.  As the bride and groom sealed their wedding vows, the clouds parted and allowed a beam of sunshine to fall upon them.

Here are a few of the moments that I captured on their special day.  Enjoy!

Yoga on the beach

I met Laurel during a prior shoot in which she bid on one of my sessions at a friends fundraiser - http://www.wamsfoundation.com/ (for MS - check it out).  After my initial shoot with Laurel, we discussed the idea of a yoga shoot on the beach.

I was excited and up to the challenge to capture some of her stunning poses and enjoy the beautiful outdoors.

Enjoy!

Stacey & Sarah's Engagement

I was so excited when my good friend Sarah told me that she would be getting married to her lovely girlfriend Stacey.


We went down to Iona beach in Richmond B.C for a private photo session. There, they invited me to share a moment with them and experience first hand, the love that they share. It isn't hard to tell that these two are madly in love.

I'll let the photos do the talking...
