Some portraits of my sweet and talented Ryan. She is a fellow photographer network contributor, and one of my most inspiring friends.

Lisa and Iain were an exciting couple to photograph, because we’ve been talking about it for almost 3 years now! Lisa and I met a while back, and she’s had us hired for her wedding ever since. I’ve been hearing so much about Iain as well so it was wonderful to finally meet him. He definitely lived up to his reputation, both of them are such sweethearts. What I also loved about this shoot was the location. The photos were all taken on Iain’s family property in Saanich. I fall in love with Vancouver Island over and over all the time, and this was another one of those days for me. It was SUCH a beautiful property. What a dream. I’m so happy for Lisa and Iain, who will be living there after they get married.

I came home from yoga a couple nights ago to the results of the wedding photojournalist association’s 4th quarterly contest. There was a little treat in there for me.

Early last week Tristan and I decided that we would in fact head over to Vancouver and get a taste of the Olympic madness. We found out Christina Craft and her husband Cary were headed over at the same time, so at 4:30 monday morning the four of us met up and headed toward the ferries. Christina’s photos from the day are up on her blog. Over the next two days we did as much walking as possible. The city looked great and there was barely a soul not wearing Canadian olympic clothes. By the end of monday I thought my legs were going to fall off, but we still ran across half the city to find a screen that was playing Virtue and Moir’s gold medal skate (I knew they were going to win). We finally found it showing near Yaletown, and watched along with my sister in law and her boyfriend in a parking lot. I was so excited I barely noticed all the people behind us that were equally as thrilled. It was so much fun to be apart of the city during that time, and to be with a crowd as the skaters performed flawlessly. What a good decision it was to visit.
