Happy Halloween!

Wedding of Tami and David at The Fairmont Empress

It was a fun and unique wedding between Tami & David at The Fairmont Empress.  Tami & David wanted to do something special so they left their home in sunny Arizona and flew into Victoria for a lovely fall wedding, just the two of them.

i got to hang out with them both for two days in a row.  For the wedding and the following day for a  photo-session around the island before they caught a float plane to Vancouver.
Following are a few highlights or for a larger preview check out my Facebook post: Click Me!

Heather and Cali

I really enjoyed photographing Heather and Cali near Elk Lake in Victoria.  It was a few days after the wedding for a "rock the dress" session.  It's apparent these two are close and photographing the friendship was a lot of fun. 

Bed and Breakfast and the Cowichan Valley

I think the following quote from StayCowichan about sums up the area.

Stay in one of the most beautiful places on Earth

Less than an hour's drive from Victoria over the breathtaking Malahat Drive, you will find the gently rolling countryside of the Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island's Wine Country. It is a land of farms and forests, lakes and rivers, rolling hills and ocean beaches. Visit the communities of Malahat, Mill Bay, Shawnigan Lake, Cobble Hill, Duncan, Cowichan Bay, Cowichan Station and Crofton. Once here a warm welcome awaits you at Cowichan's Bed & Breakfasts. Over 50 rooms are available, from the modest but comfortable to the scenic and luxurious - all smoke free. Many are adult-oriented, but children and pets are welcome at some. As unique as each is, all have one thing in common – warm and friendly hospitality.

Kinsol Trestle - Shawnigan Lake, BC

It's been a long time since I have blogged.  Seems FB has been getting all of my attention.  I promise to show up here more often!!

We are very much enjoying our new community here in Shawnigan Lake.  We moved up from Victoria six moths ago.  Easy commute (except rush hour) to Victoria and we get to live in the country. 

The fall colours right now are changing quickly and it is quite beautiful.  The recently opened Kinsol Trestle is a pretty neat hike.  A great place to check out!

Kinsol Trestle is now open!!
