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.

Helen and Colin’s wedding is coming up soon, so I thought i’d better get some pics up on the blog! I shot these photos earlier in June on a trip to Vancouver, around when I photographed Sonia and Jason’s engagement. I always enjoy taking pictures in the city, especially because I love the way the light bounces around the buildings. With these two we barely had to go anywhere to find the light, almost staying with a 5 block radius of where we started! Helen and Colin are just so lovely you can’t even resist them. I had such a easy and wonderful time with them when we first met, talking about weddings, yoga and books – my 3 favourite things! I can’t wait until their wedding to see all the details come together. Here are just a few of my favs from our day.

This past weekend I headed to Vancouver to do a couple engagement shoots and catch up with some friends. I love visiting Vancouver in the summer, its a great city to spend time in the sun, and I love shooting there because I don’t see it everyday. Sonia and Jason met up with me on my last day there for a session before their wedding next weekend. They took me around the UBC campus where Jason works and we spent some time at Jerico beach and downtown. They are both super friendly and sweet, and beautiful to photograph! On the way to the ferry at the end of the day I was almost in tears talking about our favourite ‘bloopers’. They are unbelievably easy to be around and talk to. I can’t wait for their wedding, as Sonia has promised me great Indian food! Can’t argue with that!
