I was recently part of a fun collaboration between Dale Darlington (taking video & organizing the whole thing), Isabelle Dunlop (who created the amazing dresses), Christina Sicoli & Shawn Goodson (who were the lovely models) and myself (taking photos, of course!).

It was a fun afternoon, and I’m simply in love with Isabelle’s beautiful pieces!

Christina also featured this shoot on her super cute blog Rare Little Bird, Check it out!

Gina & Dave – Vancouver Wedding Photography

elaine — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 23:28:22 +0000

Gina & Dave’s wedding took place at the beautiful Hart House restaurant in Burnaby. This place is such a gorgeous setting for a wedding!

The day started with the girls getting ready in the second floor of the Hart House.

Gina and Dave decided to have a First Look before their ceremony. It was a beautiful moment. I love the look of pure joy and love in their faces as they see each other for the first time on their wedding day. So romantic!

We also squeezed in some wedding party photos before the ceremony.

The ceremony was filled with laughs, and love.

We took some portraits down by the lake after the ceremony. Love the scenery <3

Thanks Gina & Dave for a wonderful Day!

Wildflowers

elaine — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 03:49:42 +0000

Right across from my old elementary school is a little house that belongs to a little old lady. I really can’t guess how old she is, but she was an old lady when I was in kindergarten.

Her little rancher is surrounded on all sides by a garden she tends to every day, weeding, watering, planting, tilling the soil…and the entire garden is made up of wildflowers.

I walked by a few days ago with my niece, on our way to the playground. My niece stopped at the side of her garden to pick a few huckleberries off the bush growing over the sidewalk, and I noticed that the little old lady was out working in her garden. The sun was low in the sky and filtering through her daisies with a beautiful rosy glow – It was such a perfect picture! Of course, I didn’t have my camera with me. So i decided I would go back another day to try and photograph her in her garden.

I’ve gone by a couple times since then, but never at the right time to catch her out and about. I did, however, get these photographs of her beautiful garden.

I like manicured lawns and gardens…but this one just gets me. It has a magical quality, and it’s randomness reminds me of an impressionist painting.

I hope she realizes what a beautiful garden she’s made.

Debbie & Darcy – Vancouver Wedding Photography

elaine — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 03:17:36 +0000

There are nothing but good things to say about Debbie & Darcy’s wedding. There was sunshine, love & laughter, a beautiful bride & handsome groom, and most of all, family. Debbie’s wedding was particularly special for me because she is my cousin! It was definitely fun, and an honor to be a part of her and Darcy’s day.

I love how excited Debbie looks here, waiting to walk down the aisle.

Her Bridesmaids looked stunning.

Debbie, of course, looked absolutely radiant.

Don’t they make such a beautiful couple? You can definitely see the love.

Debbie & Darcy chose a green & blue Canucks colour theme for their reception! How fun is that? Each table was named after a Canucks player.

The reception was full of laughs – thanks to Debbie’s brother, Darren, who was a fabulous MC!

A beautiful first dance as husband and wife. Doesn’t the Langley Golf Centre make for a gorgeous venue? Love the chandeliers!

Lastly, a few shots of Debbie & Darcy’s friends and family, you can definitely tell they are loved very much!!

Thank you for letting me be such an important part of your day!

Grapefruit Juice, and Gina & Dave’s Engagement photos! – Vancouver Engagement Photography

elaine — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 01:53:33 +0000

I have decided that grapefruit juice is essential to my photo editing from now on. Not the pure unsweetened kind…no one reeeally actually likes that stuff. No, the kind with delicious pear, apple and orange juice infused into it. I am on to my third glass, and what has resulted? …

Gina & Dave’s Engagement photos!

Gina and Dave are awesome. They are hilarious. There was lots of funny face making, which resulted in a lot of laughter!
We had our session at Iona beach on a windy evening last week, it was so beautiful. Iona beach is such an interesting place. It’s not your typical beach, like the others in Vancouver. It’s sort of…barren. In a beautiful way.

Our evening started out like this:

Then I made them climb all over the drift wood…

which then lead to these beautiful photos…

They also brought their super adventurous dog, Toby, who was so adventurous that he jumped right into the 6 inch deep slimy, muddy, goop on the beach where the tide had gone out, about 10 minutes into our session. Needless to say, his muddiness limited the amount of pictures with Gina & Dave =p

It was awesome shooting with Gina & Dave, and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding at the Hart House this Saturday. Yes…this Saturday. 2 days of photos in just over 1 week!
