• online slide show gallery of your wedding photographs
• CD of your proofs (optional , extra charge)

Package price: $1,649 CAD

This is a sample itinerary for this package that works well:

Starting with an hour of pre-ceremony either at the house or hotel room or at the location where bride and groom are getting ready (1 hour -1 1/2 hour) then moving onto a ceremony site and capturing all of the final moments, anticipating guests, parents, groom waiting for the bride .
Ceremony itself and family and group photos thereafter ( 1 hour). Following the ceremony, bridal party photos and bride and groom photos (1 hour) Traveling to locations and other possible delays or logistics may take up to an hour of the day too. Returning to the reception will leave us approximately 2 hours which will be perfect to cover speeches, cake cutting, and possibly the first dance.

For a wedding photographer this season is a real bonus. After summers’ hot days, blazing sun, harsh shadows and stark contrast of midday, this is a real treat. I like the feeling and the airy feel to the portraits in the fall.

Plus it is not hot or cold and the bride, groom and photographer feel quite comfortable outside.

This wedding I photographed at Sooke Harbour House , it (the Sooke Harbour House) was just as charming as it is in the summer, I think even more so as the winter settles in, it feels more cozy and warm.

Eloping is popular these days and I enjoy photographing couples alone without crowds of guests and onlookers, it seems somehow even more fitting this time of year.

Spring can be sketchy, weather changing every hour here on Vancouver Island. Although that is a fact, I am yet to be rained on. In all my years of doing wedding photography I was never rained out of a photoshoot.
Anyway, this is Brentwood Bay Lodge. I am not featuring much of the lodge itself just a bit of the sunny, spring atmosphere.

I love the soft sunlight and fresh greenery. Brentwood Bay is a nice location for eloping, I would feel a little restricted if I had a large group, but with just the wedding couple or a few guests it is a very nice spot. Plus it is only minutes away from all the farm roads and fields in Saanich if you like the counrty look.

This is just a teaser of a much greater selection of images taken at this wedding, these are just some that I liked and thought I would share them in my blog.
