I’m so happy to have met Ellen and Noel and to have done this quirky portrait shoot with them shortly after their wedding. Thank goodness my job involves meeting cool people because I never would get out and meet anyone …because of my job. Notice the leaves? That’s how behind I am on blogging. My European Christmas (mis)adventure will be posted when the blossoms are out at this rate. In any case, ‘Day After’ portrait shoots are a fantastic way to make more portraits together if there just isn’t time on the wedding day to play around, to rub elbows with Freddy Kruger or whatever might tickle your fancy. We do our best on the wedding day of course, but this is always a bonus, a treat. Because of my tight schedule this upcoming year I am only offering Day After sessions and engagement sessions for my wedding clients. Cheers!

My last wedding from 2009! Finally posted. I love all the weddings I shoot, but it is an especial treat to be able to photograph other traditions, as with this Ismaili wedding. The wrapping and folding of a sari, mehendi patterns, showering with rose petals. Love it.
The ceremony was held at the Lions Gate Jamatkhana and the reception at the fabulous Terminal City Club.

Prep in a trendy hotel downtown, ceremony in a picturesque stone church, photo time under a bridge with costumes, jumping and sitting on sand dunes before dinner. A wedding as fun as it was beautiful. Congrats Johanna & Dave! Can’t wait to update my website now. ( :
