Fish Creek on steriods

Amber came to visit me last weekend and of course I had to take the opportunity to do another photo shoot with her. I wanted to go to Stanley Park again but in a different area then where Lucy and I went. Fortunately Stanley Park is huge so this wasn't a hard thing to do. I had been constantly checking the weather for when she was coming to visit hoping it would be sunny the whole time. Unfortunately on the day we decided to do the shoot it was raining and I was of course not wearing rain proof foot wear. That didn't deter us and we got some great shots! This was probably my favourite shoot that I did with amber. While at the beach taking pictures a group of tourists on a trolley tour drove by and waved at us, it felt like we were famous! Amber helped me edit the pictures afterwards which was cool experience. I lost both my umbrellas during her visit but it was well worth it! Here are my favourite pictures from the shoot.






Here comes the bride

I have been asked to be the photographer at my friend Lill's wedding. I am so excited and honoured to be able to help document one of the most important events in her life! I am also very nervous because I have never done anything like this before. I did get to take some pictures for my friend Kristi's wedding but I wasnt the designated photographer. I have read ALOT of blogs and sites that give tips on wedding photography and will make sure I am uber prepared for the day. I already have written down a shot sheet, some ideas I have on top of that as well as seen pictures of the ceremony which has given me ideas as well. This wedding will be good for me to do because I ideally want to become a wedding photographer once I have graduated from school. If I hate the experience at least I will know that I should pursue a different photography path. The wedding is not until the end of June so I will post some pictures and update how the day went after. Here are some pictures from Kristi's wedding last summer in California.
