Strathcona Park Lodge Wedding | Campbell River Wedding Photography

I recently visited Strathcona Park Lodge to photograph Georgia and Pierre’s wedding. I love traveling out that way for a wedding- the drive is absolutely beautiful and the lodge is a perfect venue for a classy wilderness wedding. Congratulations Georgia and Pierre! I hope you two are having a wonderful time road tripping all over Turkey for your honeymoon! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Check out Sharne’s hairstream, a mobile hair salon from Campbell River. What a great idea for a wedding stylist!

Thank-you to my assistant Leah Martin! Here’s one of her shots of the groomsmen hanging out on the dock!

Mother’s Day | Tofino Family Photography

Happy Mother’s Day weekend everyone!! I hope everyone is finding some time to connect with mum and tell her how awesome she is! Earlier this week, Linda was surprised with a fun family photo shoot as her Mother’s Day present and we had a fantastic morning tromping all over the beach at Pacific Sands. If you didn’t see the camera in my hand, you would probably have thought I was leading some kind of fitness workout because I had them running, climbing trees and hopping over rocks. It made for some great laughs and at the end of it all, Linda said to me that she didn’t even need to see the photos because she had such a great time getting them done and that’s the most important part. I couldn’t agree more- Enjoy the photos!

Jana & Toby | Tofino Botanical Gardens | Rare Earth | Tofino Wedding

Congratulations Toby and Jana! Your wedding was incredible and I am thrilled to have been able to capture all the moments and details of the day. The day began photographing Jana and Toby at their two different guest houses on Chesterman’s Beach and then a ‘first look’ on the beach. They exchanged vows at the Tofino Botanical Gardens and then celebrated their love, friends, and families at a fully decked out community hall. I have never seen the hall look that good! And the most amazing thing is that Jana prepared most everything herself.

They had the fabulous Sheila Orchiston of Rare Earth on board for the day of the wedding, seeing to it that everything ran smoothly and all things were taken care of. Sheila offers many different services for weddings and events in Tofino. The ‘Treasured Moments’ is one of the more popular packages as it offers full ‘day of’ wedding coordination and consultations the month prior to the wedding. Great for out-of-town brides that have most the details sorted but want some local help making the day even more perfect and memorable. Enjoy the sneak peek everyone! Check out the Facebook page for more photos and maybe even some ideas for your own wedding!

Tofino Tours | Jamie’s Whaling Station | Grand Prize Winner!

Congratulations Laura for winning the Jamie’s Whaling Station & Adventure Centres Ultimate Tofino Getaway! Just by liking Jamie’s Whaling Station Facebook page, she won a 2 night stay at Pacific Sands Resort, dinner at Shelter Restaurant, a kayak trip and a Sea to Sky Hot Springs Cove tour! Together, with her husband Richard, they saw whales, sea lions, eagles, had a soak in nature’s hot tub and experienced an eagle’s eye view of Clayoquot Sound with Tofino Air.

They also had a choice of either having a West Coast Portrait session here on the beaches in Tofino or having their trip to the springs documented with a photo session in the forest and at the springs. They choose to have me come along with them and I had a fabulous time capturing these images. Laura and Richard are from Ontario and are currently living in Victoria where Richard works in the Navy. They had never been the coast before and the day before had been their one year wedding anniversary, so this was a really special trip for them. The rain was beautiful and made the forest really lush and green. My favourite part was the flight with Tofino Air. Seeing Clayoquot Sound from the air makes me want to get out there more and explore all it’s special spots. So beautiful!

You can still win with Jamie’s Whaling Station- Check out their Facebook page for more information!

The photo above is a shot of the hot springs from the air. You really are in the middle of no where!

Keeley & Brendan | Long Beach Lodge Resort | Tofino Wedding Photography

Keeley and Brendan from Quesnel recently visited Tofino to exchange vows at Long Beach Lodge Resort. It was a perfect ceremony overlooking crashing waves and the wide open ocean. Just a little wind, a small splash of rain and some really great light! Congratulations! It was wonderful to meet you and I wish you many more memories like these ones. Enjoy the sneak peek!
