Val & Chris

It was a bit nippy outside today, but that did not stop us from doing our portrait session with Val & Chris. They were happy and cheerful throughout the photoshoot, where we went on a wonderful hike in Kanata.

West Coast Trip

TEN YEARS ANNIVERSARY

.
.

We decided that for our 10th yr anniversary we would do something adventurous, so, we chose our destination as far west as possible. West of Vancouver Island is a place called Tofino (neither of us had ever been there). The place has everything to offer to nature lovers, from beautiful Long Beach, black bears, eagles, sea lions, seals, whales.... and more. We could not have chosen a better way to celebrate a decade together. We were certainly blessed.

Vancouver Island is rich with wildlife and nature, and exquisitely beautiful. I highly recommend the Pacific Rim Park as an excellent destination for nature lovers.

Tied the Knot in Calabogie

It was a beautiful day for Mary Lou and Ash! Their Wedding location was absolutely breathtaking with the water, hills, and blue sky, and of course, golf carts. After photoshooting we enjoyed a great dinner at Calabogie Highlands with their family and friends. Congratulations again, enjoy some of your images.
