Hi all!! Wow.. This is our first post of 2010. A little late, but happy new year!!!

Deb and I were putting together some of our marketing materials for 2010 and had to take some photos of ourselves. We got out our big ringlight and took a bunch of photos… well… here, have a look:

Have you thought about having a photobooth? They are a LOT of fun! We love doing photobooths. They’re such a fantastic way to get photos with your guests. Ask us about how you can have a photobooth at your event

Warning: This might be a bit of a long post, but don’t think that will be a problem with anyone;)

We have known Allison & Cam for several years. Allison is Nick’s best friend Steve’s sister. Steve and his wife Lori (who are also photographers, opening Lori Currie Photography soon) were shooting with us that day and I think we all got some great shots. Their beautiful wedding took place on the Labour Day long weekend and what a crazy day it started out as. It was raining like mad up until about 5 minutes before the ceremony began and stayed dry just up to the time the reception started. It was perfect.

The instant that I saw Allison and her father start to walk down the aisle the tears started falling, not only for the guests, but for me as well! She was absolutely stunning; full of beauty and poise.

Cam is really quite the gentleman!

The great thing about Allison & Cam is that they know how to have a lot of fun, and so do their friends! They all know how to bring out their inner rock star!

Look at all of this fabulousness! The main building of the London Heritage Farm is gorgeous!

These guys were up for anything!

Adorable. Cute. Perfect.

One of my favourite shots! I think what I love more than the lighting is her “come hither” stare. Cam, you are a lucky guy!

Their reception site was the East Delta Hall, and Allison made it look like anything but! Not only is she super organized, but she is a design maven! She transformed the hall from a gymnasium into something spectacular. Green apples, candles, mini-lights everywhere, hanging paper lanterns….it was amazing!

Allison & Cam were together 10 years before they got married. A lot happens over the course of ten years of knowing someone and loving them. You grow so much as a couple and really develop a close and intimate relationship, and with these two it’s easy to see how much they complete each other.

Late in November we shot an engagement session with these two fine folks. It was cold and cloudy, but we all had a really great time out in English Bay and Stanley Park.  They kept each other laughing and smiling throughout the shoot, which by the way, are key ingredients to a happy marriage. Here are a few of our favourites. Enjoy:)

We’re shooting their wedding in late June, so watch for a blog post about it sometime in July

Last year fellow photographers Chris+Lynn started something. They called it “Cans for Comments.” Within a few days of starting it there were dozens of photographers all over the world doing the same. This year we’ve decided to do it again.

Basically the way it works is that for every comment you leave on our blog between now and Dec. 15 we will donate one can to our local Food Bank… except this year we’re doing things a little bit different.

You may or may not know that cash is 3 times as valuable to the Food Bank than actual food. For every $1 that is donated they can buy $3 worth of food. With that in mind we’ve decided that instead of donating a can for each comment, we’ll donate $1 for each comment. This way we’re able to feed more hungry families this {insert holiday of your choice here}

I’ll be posting a random photo every day (or 2) so you have something new to comment on too YAY!

—–EDIT—–

I’ve made this post sticky, so you’re all reminded each time you visit that we’re doing this. Please leave a comment

Wow… Seriously, I must apologize… no posts in like 20 days when I said we’d post something every day or 2. We just moved at the beginning of the month, and it’s thrown our plans for a bit of a loop, so in light of that we’ve decided to extend cans for comments until the end of December. Please, comment!

There’s a full write up and blog post coming up for these fantastic folks, but to whet your appetite I’d like to show you one shot from today’s engagement session
