Karen and Samuel | Married – Charlie Lake

On Thursday, July 14th. Myself and Pat Valade of valadephotography.com made the journey to Charlie Lake, British Columbia. A 13 hour drive from our home offices into the Peace District of northern British Columbia. The journey was worth every minute of headrest napping and frequent stretch breaks as Samuel and Karen are the kind of couple every photographer dreams of shooting. Their enthusiasm, passion, and love for each other was apparent in every detail and moment of their big day.

The day of the rehearsal saw the wedding location drenched in rains so heavy the only other place that I can remember seeing a downpour like that was in the Philippines during typhoon season. But, as seems to be the way with these things, the sun broke through less than ten minutes before the ceremony started, and the rain held off until after midnight.

The theme of their wedding was butterflies, and below is a sneak peak at an eclectic sorting of images from their wedding. Thank you Samuel and Karen for allowing us into your life for this incredible day, it was truly a pleasure.

Journey. Kamloops to Ft. St John.

Today myself and Pat Valade of valadephotography.com drove 13 hours through British Columbia and Alberta to reach a northern wedding location for the weekend. Along the way we stopped and grabbed some pictures of a friendly Bull Elk near Jasper, Alberta. Here are a few pictures of our trip. We will update with more after a nights rest!

The wedding takes place at Charlie Lake on Saturday.

Dave and Katie – Married | Sneak Peak

Silence.

I have no portrait update from this weekend as I took it off for a much needed camping trip. I figured I would share a few images from the weekend. With my good friend Luke, we enjoyed an evening of silence, with nothing but the crackle of a campfire and gentle roar of a creek in full flow beside us.

It is good to be reminded of the simpler things in life. Next week we will start updates again with more portait sessions!

Ashley and Chad – Sneak Peak

Ashley and Chad had a wonderful, if somewhat rainy engagement day. Gorgeous greens and just a hint of sunlight. These two will tie the knot on July 30th, 2011 in Williams Lake, British Columbia.
