Winter Wonderland
Pamela and Cory came from Fort Worth Texas, to get married in the snow at the Nita Lake Lodge in Whistler. A strong pacific frontal system and some just-cold-enough air made for a sudden blizzard. Tailor made for some great photos. It was first time in the Glade Suite, a huge suite that the Nita [...]
Will You Marry Me?
Keith called me from Oregon, saying that he was planning on proposing to his girlfriend Cameo on their trip to Whistler. Never having been to Whistler, he asked me if I had a good suggestion for a location for his proposal. Whistler just opened a brand new outdoor skating rink, and I thought that would [...]
Jean and Ryan, Whistler Winter Wedding
Jean and Ryan are a pretty typical couple for the weddings I do during the winter. Jean is from Brooklyn, Ryan the UK, and they live in France. Along with Ryan and Jean’s respective brothers, they had a pretty wedding on the Whistler Peak2Peak gondola. This is probably going to be the last wedding of [...]
Whistler Headshot Portrait
It’s been a long ‘shoulder season’ in whistler, the time between summer and winter where not much happens around here. I’ve been busy with some other projects, but now the mountiann is open, and I’m starting to get busy again, which is nice. This is a portrait for my friend Jim Watts in my studio, [...]
On-location Business Portraits
A lot of the work I do requires a great deal of creativity, but every so often something comes up where you have to do something really simple, but you have to do it perfectly in a really short period of time. With this shoot for the Mechanical Contractors of BC, I needed to shoot [...]
Christie and Nick – Nicklaus North Wedding
Christie and Nick are something of a rarity for me, a couple who live and work in Whistler. Believe it or not, they’re the first Whistler couple I’ve a shot a wedding for in probably two years. Running into local friends of mine who were wedding guests was an added pleasure. The Nicklaus North club [...]
Vancouver Fringe Festival Play – Night of the B-Movie
Barnaby the Hunchback, played by 25 year Fringe Festival veteran actor Jacque Lalonde. My friend Alan Forsythe is producing a play for the annual Vancouver Fringe Festival that runs every September. He asked me to stop by and shoot a couple of pictures of the cast during a rehearsal. Jacque Lalonde, Lisa Ovies, and Tristan [...]
Katherine and Jeremy, Royal Vancouver Rowing Club
I had a chance to travel to Stanley Park to shoot Katherine and Jeremy’s wedding at the Royal Vancouver Rowing Club. It’s nice to get out of Whistler for a change, and I had a great time in the park. The Rowing Club, that big brown building in the harbour in front of Stanley park, [...]
Sandy and Bruce, Steeps Restaurant, Whistler Mountain
I had a lot of fun with Sandy and Bruce, who got married at the top of Whistler last week. This is my first wedding of the 2011 summer season. There’s still tons of snow at the top of Whistler, over 200cm’s, or about 6 1/2 feet. With the sun out, it’s also really, really [...]
In the Studio
My buddy Paul “Fabio” Fournier just go back from a month spent crewing on a yacht from Vancouver to Puerto Vallarta. He looked really rugged after that, with a big beard when I ran into him yesterday, so I asked him to stop by the studio and we’d get a few snaps of him before [...]
Whistler Family Portrait
Tech Stuff These are a few shots from a family reunion photo shoot this week for Greg at Insight Photography. This was a fun shoot, but because there were some younger kids, we had to shoot at 5:30 in the afternoon, about two hours earlier than I would have liked. As the light was still [...]
Whistler Wedding – The Stone Circle
The boardwalk at Green Lake I was having a nice brunch last Saturday when I got a call from the groom, Eric. He said, “I’m getting married today at four, and we wondering if you could photograph our wedding?”. Not having anything else to do that day, I said sure, it would be a pleasure. [...]
Vancouver Buffoonery Workshops
Trilby Jeeves and her VanArts class of Buffoons. Based on the teachings of Jacques Lecoq of Paris, “Le Bouffon” is a clown of sorts- an intelligent clown, perhaps, from the depths of our earth. Its pleasure is to mock and to imitate the absurdities of the human being (we do strange things!). They get sheer [...]
