Hey all. I am doing a basic photography course this Saturday. The cost is $35 ( I think) and it is being offered through the community centre. Call 242-4246 for info regarding cost and registering. Comment or email me for course details.

Paging the Struhans, paging the Struhans, your album is ready for viewing in aisle two….

As usual, clicking on the cover will bring you to a flash version of the album. If that gives you grief, there is an html version, too. Simply click on the pages to flip.

Michael and Dayle Wedding Album

Those of you who are related to me will be wondering why I spelled Chris with a K. And that’s because these are not photos from my sister-in-law’s wedding, but from a couple in Dawson Creek, whom you may now call the Veatches. 

Danielle was one of my most passionate clients this year, tracking me down and telling me she really really wanted me to shoot her wedding, and who am I to argue? It was a wedding full of interesting contrasts, what with motorbikes and horses, piercings and tatoos set in an historical village in Dawson… Modern sensibilities met with traditional elegance, creating a great blend of moods and visuals. 

Click on the album cover below to see how I saw it. And to the happy couple: thanks for letting me photograph your special day. If you find the flash isn’t working (it can take a few minutes for the images to load), you can view the html version, instead. 

Danielle and Kris Wedding Album

These pictures were taken back on August 23 as part of my PAD series. But, like the pictures of Jade, these ones were an attempt to work out some ideas around a bridal session. This is Dakota, Jade’s sister. Can you see the family resemblance?

Something I am going to be offering next year will be bridal sessions, where the bride gets all gussied up on a day pre or post-wedding and we go out and take pictures with no pressure to make it back in time for the reception. 

This was a post-wedding session. A few years post, actually. I wanted to work out some visual ideas and Jade, whose wedding was the first I shot in a semi-professional capacity (professional because they paid me money to do so, semi because she’s my niece and didn’t really have much choice in the matter), volunteered to help me. Silly me chose to do it on the day of my daughter’s birthday party, so I still had to hurry to make it back and the one shot I wanted to get, I didn’t. Still, I think I got some amazing images, and plans are afoot to do another one of these with her next year….

Hey all:

I was hoping to have caught up on life by now, but that is not the case. I’m still burning at both ends, take that how you will. 

All proof albums have been ordered and are winding their way though the proof album system. 

I have one more wedding this weekend, and then the wedding season is done. I am working on my How I Saw it for Danielle and Kris. No promises, but this weekend might not be out of the picture. 

I took some pictures of Jade, which will be up soon, too. 

After August’s PAD, this has been a bit of a shock to not be shooting every day. Early in the new year, I hope to do another PAD month. Always looking for volunteers, preferably local….

So there are pictures in the pipes that will be showing up here, but if they are not as quick as I hope, it’s because I have three more books to write in the next month or two. 

Thanks for understanding.

Here’s how I saw Shawn and Deseray’s wedding. As I’ve mentioned before, they were a fun couple, and you can tell in the pictures. 

Click on the album cover below to open up the album viewer. My internet is pretty slow, so it can take a few seconds to load, so you might want to give it a bit of time. To navigate from page to page, just click on the corner, and turn the page while holding down the mouse button. 

If it isn’t working for you, there is a plain html version, too. 

So I linked to this way back when on my facebook page, but didn’t realize that it had been posted outside the walled garden of Facebook. Here’s some kind words from Rebekah.

Last PAD for a while. This is Miranda. Face painting by Colette.
