Welcome to 2010

Hard to believe it’s 2010 — this marks my 13th year of providing wedding photography services here on the West Coast. It’s been a fabulous 12 years so far, shooting almost 1,000 weddings on the beaches and in the rainforest, from eloping couples to huge elaborate affairs, for many years with medium format film cameras and now with digital.

One of the main differences between weddings back in Vancouver (where I started) and here is that couples choosing to exchange vows here in Tofino or Ucluelet are not deterred by weather – I’ve learned to balance an umbrella along with all the camera gear. Couples and bridal parties are also a lot more mobile here; they’d rather run down the beach than stand in a line — way more fun to photograph when everyone is having fun!

I look forward to another year of being part of the most special day in couples’ lives — their wedding day — and here’s hoping the weather gods are kind in 2010!

Welcome to My New Website

I hope you enjoy browsing the beautiful photos in the galleries I’ve provided. There’s a gallery for almost every location here on the West Coast, from Tofino to Ucluelet. If you’re not sure which gallery is near the location you’ve chosen for your wedding, please contact me and I’ll guide you in the right direction.

In case you didn’t know we offer videography, click the link to that service. A sample video clip will be uploaded in that section soon.

If you’re considering the West Coast of Vancouver Island for your wedding, I’ve included lots of useful information for you under “Frequently Asked Questions” and “Links”, so you can even find out what time the sun will set the day you’ve chosen for your ceremony! And don’t forget to check the tides too — at very high tides there is often very little beach exposed.

I would love to be there for you to capture some beautiful moments; you will never regret choosing a professional photographer. E-mail or call me and I’d be happy to discuss package options, locations, or give any other advice you may need. It’s a beautiful part of the world here, and a very special place to get married!
