BEN & KEZIA’S WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AT BURROWING OWL ESTATE WINERY, OLIVER BC

Mandy and Kezia were both vocalists performing with a local group, and the two of them hit it off instantly. Since then, Mandy moved to the island, we got married and all sort of started our adult lives, but we always stay in touch with K&B and get together whenever we can when visiting the ainland. And when the two of them asked me to shoot their wedding I was thrilled. They are warm, genuine, hilarious and cultured people ( Kezia is originally from Indonesia ) and we knew their friends and family would be a reflection of that.

Further, Mandy was also one of Kezia’s Bridesmaids. They chose to have a semi-destination wedding just outside of Oliver, BC for a more intimate ( and beautiful! And while heavy rain and wind struck on the wedding day, their spirits weren’t dampened. Blog Source: ELISE & JEFF’S ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHS AT GYRO PARK.

MIKE & JANINE’S WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Hot enough that Mike was able to conceal his tears during the ceremony with sweat, but everyone was roasting. After a beautiful ceremony in the backyard of St. Anne’s Academy, we headed out for photos along the water by the Chinese Cemetary, followed by a visit to Mystic Vale on the edge of Uvic. TITUS & TARA’S WEDDING AT PINE LODGE FARM IN MILL BAY, BC. I love it when couples have even a “mini” destination wedding, it provides more opportunity for bonding time with guests and really creates a feeling of a holiday, even when that destination is 45 minutes out of Town.

TITUS & TARA’S WEDDING AT PINE LODGE FARM IN MILL BAY, BC

Titus and Tara got married at Pine Lodge Farm in Mill Bay, a quaint and beautiful property with stunning gardens, an amazing old farmhouse, lots of space and countless cool, old structures. It was a day filled with laughter and tears, drinking and dancing, and at the end of the evening there were a few buses that came by to bring everyone to a downtown afterparty at Irish Times. All in all an awesome day, and yet another fun wedding working with an old friend from High School. COMMERCIAL: NOLAN RIDING MOUNTAIN BIKE INSTRUCTION & TOURS. Little change of pace for the blog here today.

COMMERCIAL: NOLAN RIDING MOUNTAIN BIKE INSTRUCTION & TOURS

As a lifelong lover of the outdoors, working with athletes and outdoor equipment companies in an absolute treat, and I was lucky enough to run into Pat a few months ago and learn about his mountain biking company: Nolan Riding. This will be an ongoing series of shoots for an upcoming website redesign to showcase the instruction that Patrick and his team offer, the beautiful south island trails that we have available to us and the joy and growth that gets experienced by his clients on a regular basis.

Here are a few images from our first shoot up in Gowland Todd Provincial Park.

Evelyne & Matt’s Engagement in Downtown Victoria. What can I say about these two?

Evelyne & Matt’s Engagement in Downtown Victoria

They’re cheerful, intelligent, wonderful people with a great sense of humour, and shooting them was a total pleasure. Oh and I’m pretty sure that bridge is the only one of it’s kind that you can access so easily on the south island, any guesses as to where that is? Here are a few of my favourites from my engagement session with Evelyne & Matt a couple of weeks ago. AMANDA & LYALL’S WEDDING AT BIRD’S EYE COVE FARM IN DUNCAN, BC. EVELYNE & MATT’S WEDDING AT CHURCH AND STATE WINERY IN VICTORIA, BC. MARK & AMELIA’S WEDDING IN SAAN. It can be a real treat when a couple decides to mix things up a bit, and that was definitely the story with Mark and Amelia.

MARK & AMELIA’S WEDDING IN SAAN

After their ceremony in North Saannich, we headed straight into their ice cream party reception for the afternoon, followed by 3.5 hours of nonstop photos during the best light in the evening. We started off the photos in Sidney, then headed up near the airport and Pat Bay, followed by some night photos right near Mark’s place just outside Brentwood. Here are a few favourites! Blog Source: ANNE & DRAZEN’S WEDDING AT THE WESTIN BEAR MOUNTAIN IN VICTORIA, BC. If you wanted to be at a huge wedding filled with Rugby players and Croatians.

ANNE & DRAZEN’S WEDDING AT THE WESTIN BEAR MOUNTAIN IN VICTORIA, BC

Anne & Drazen’s wedding at the Westin Bear Mountain was the place to be. Endless laughs, hugs, kisses and shots of Fireball were the hallmark of this multicultural affair. And I was lucky enough to be a part of it. Here are a few favourites from the big day. Mark & Melissa’s Engagement Photography In Ucluelet, Bc. Mark & Melissa’s Engagement Photography In Ucluelet, Bc I tell all of my clients when I meet with them that I highly value engagement sessions. Not only do they give us a chance to get to know each other, and put my clients at ease on their wedding day, they provide an opportunity to get real, meaningful photos that actually represent their lives right now, someplace they love doing something they love. Mark and Melissa were originally thinking of doing their engagementsession somewhere pretty in Victoria, but they just couldn’t find somewhere that meant to them what Ucluele does. Melissa’s dad recently finished hand building a second home for their family up there, and despite the distance they’re up on the beautiful west coast of Vancouver Island at least once a month.

So we made the arrangements for their engagement session to happen up in Ucluelet, and I’m so glad we did. DANIELLE & MATT’S ENGAGEMENT IN GORDON HEAD – VICTORIA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY. Get memorable Wedding Photography at Vancouver. EMILY & TIM’S WEDDING IN CALGARY. Rarely can you meet a group of people and instantly feel at home, but minutes after meeting Emily & Tim and their friends I knew it was going to be a fun few days.

Smoky skies from nearby forest fires weren’t going to keep us inside and the rain held off for an awesome party at The Wedding Pavillion in west Calgary. While only an 80 minute flight it still feels so totally different from home but I always enjoy my time in Calgary. Here are a few favourites. JESAKA & RYAN’S ENGAGEMENT SESSION IN THE HIGHLANDS OF VICTORIA, BC. Every so often I get the chance to work with old friends, people from soccer teams, elementary or high school, past jobs, and it’s always such a blast to reconnect with people at a totally different stage of life than when I last knew them. I went to Esquimalt High School with Jesaka and Ryan, but haven’t had much of a chance to see them since high school so it was really great to catch up both during our shoot and around a fire pit with some beers this past weekend.

Little did we know beforehand that we would also be treated to a light show in the sky with the northern lights making a rear appearance in Victoria? BEAUTIFUL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY OF KEN & MIKE’S. LYDIA’S GRAD PHOTOS – VICTORIA BC PORTRAIT AND HEADSHOT PHOTOGRAPHY. I’m always looking to include unique elements of my clients’ lives in their photos, so while we were planning the details for Lydia’s grad photos I was stoked when she said she boxes and wanted to do some photos at her boxing gym.

After spending some time at her gym in Esquimalt, she switched looks for the segment of our shoot out in the evening light at Elk Lake. All I can say is I wish I had grad photos like this! Here are a few favourites. MELISSA & MARK’S QUADRA ISLAND WEDDING – VANCOUVER ISLAND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY. Hanging out with Mark & Melissa throughout the journey up to and including their wedding has been such a blast. Their engagement session up in Ucluelet was one of my favourites I’ve shot to date, and several of the images from that shoot have won some cool awards.

So naturally, their wedding on the (slightly) remote Quadra Island didn’t disappoint. The setting was absolutely gorgeous and as ever these two were so natural in front of the camera. Even amidst battling the flu on her wedding day, Melissa was a champ and powered through to make lifelong memories and stunning images. Alicia & Brandon's Wedding at Merridale Cidery in Mill Bay, BC. I had the pleasure of meeting Alicia at Amanda & Lyall’s wedding last year; She was a Bridesmaid and little did I know at the time that she had just gotten engaged a few days prior! So with her upcoming nuptuals in mind, she was paying extra attention during the whole day to all the vendors and how we worked and I’m thrilled that she contacted me shortly afterward to shoot hers and Brandon’s big day! As with Amanda and Lyall’s wedding, I had the pleasure of working alongside Chelsea from Paper Heart Films for the day who is always such a sweetheart to work with.

We started off at one of her friends’ vacation homes in Shawnigan Lake before heading up to the beautiful Merridale Ciderworks for the ceremony and reception. It was wet and chilly but Alicia and Brandon braved the cold without complaint, and Brandon even took a fall in the mud at one point. Rileigh and Kelly's Fall Wedding at Starling Lane Winery and the University Club - Victoria BC Wedding Photography - Jon-Mark PhotographyVictoria BC Wedding Photography – Jon-Mark Photography. My connection to Rileigh actually goes way back, we went to the same elementary school and I was actually in a couple of classes with her older brother. But it wasn’t until my younger brother got together (and later married) her best friend that I got the chance to meet both Rileigh and her then boyfriend Kelly.

These two are make an adorable pair, and I could tell after our engagement session together that the wedding was going to be easy and enjoyable. Weather threatened us on the big day but once the ceremony started at Starling Lane the sun broke through the clouds and the rain held off for most of the rest of the day. I had never been to Starling Lane in the fall and the colour palette was totally different but still beautiful as ever. Get the Best and Unique Vancouver Island Wedding Photography.
