The buzzzz...

Hi, welcome to my blog. I am a photographer specializing in wedding photography and outdoor portraiture. I left the commercial photography world several years ago and teamed up with my wife to start a wedding and portrait photography business. I consider myself blessed to do what I love to do, creating beautiful pictures of people, for people! I work in new outdoor locations all the time and I love it. I love creating memorable images in both color and fine art black and white. We are located in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia where we provide photography for all of Vancouver Island as well as The Gulf and San Juan Islands. We are also privileged to provide photography to the greater San Francisco Bay Area for destination weddings as well as anywhere in the US.

The Pianist


I had a fun assignment yesterday photographing David Archer of Soundstone music. David is a composer and pianist and finds himself playing at all sorts of venues around Vancouver Island.  We held our photoshoot in Downtown Victoria at The Magnolia Hotel And Spa which is an incredibly beautiful four diamond hotel, ranked as one of Canada's top hotels by Conde Nast Traveller.  Here are several of my favorite pictures.

Flower Power!

Back to the blog!  It's been a little while since I have blogged.  I'm again blaming Facebook for diverting my attention away from my blog.  I've been very busy meeting new people on the island and I'm blessed to say I have been booking a lot of weddings here in Victoria.  The Bridal Exhibition this past January was very successful in allowing me to meet lots of couples and wedding venders.

Recently I have been looking through my archives of pictures lately for images of brides and flowers for a little project I'm working on (more about that later).

I'll go ahead and post some of my favorites.  Flowers are such a pretty aspect of
every wedding!

Wedding Portrait Session Along Victoria's Inner Harbor


I enjoyed our night-portrait session along the Inner Harbor and at the Empress Hotel last week with Ross and Kerri.  There were many people enjoying downtown Victoria because of the unusually mild temperatures and dry conditions.  I love the architectural elements and the challenge of night photography combined with creating a pleasant portrait. Here are some of my favorites.

Christmas at Butchart Gardens



I enjoyed my first visit to the beautiful Butchart Gardens in Victoria. The Christmas lights at night are spectacular. Adam was fascinated by the trains in the window display. The outdoor skating rink surrounded in lights was charming, however my boys were most captivated by the old-fashioned carousel.
