Dear Diary,,,March 19th, 2010 | Full Posta few things…
Time is flying by, we moved into a house a few weeks ago (yes, mega super epic never-ending move has finally completed!… thank you all for your patience) and took a week long vacay down the Oregon coast and over to Northern California to visit Keri&family. It seemed like just yesterday when my rad friend turned 4, and now, Tenzin is turning 5!
And beautiful Myla- remember when she was born?-! Mark is slowly, but surely, getting rid of his mustache and beard that he grew over the winter… things are looking up! He’s got it down to just the mustache now, though some beard unfortunately reappeared during our week long trip to Oregon/California. : ( Fingers crossed for it to disappear in time for wedding season!
And lastly, following up on our “random photo of 2008“, here is my choice for “random photo of 2009″, thanks to my bride Jen and her gals for taking part : )
Here’s to a super amazing 2010! Filled up with lots of cool weddings with lots of great couples. We will be opening our 2011 schedule soon and begin accepting bookings. Here’s one “save the date” we received, for a very special wedding of an amazing couple in October. You’ll never guess where this wedding will be held… : ) [vimeo 7760922 640 480] |

Oh, Leslie! What a surprise, when I started reading this post I wasn’t expecting at all to find our S.T.D. at the end of it… thanx, thanx, thanx! Less than 200 days to go… I would have never imagined that meeting my photographer would be one of the most awaited things in my wedding!

Blue Water Cafe Wedding: Sommer and DeanMarch 18th, 2010 | Full PostI finally got to work with Simone, a past bride of ours and awesome wedding planner, at Sommer and Dean’s unique and beautiful wedding, held at the Blue Water Cafe in Yaletown! Sommer and I were not able to meet in person before the big day, but she greeted me at the door of her hotel room with a big hug to kick start our day the right way. Thank you for that! Sommer and Dean’s beautiful little girl, Safia, was also there to brighten the already perfect day!
