Will + Leslie :: Married

A little sneak for yet another amazing couple – Will and Leslie just got married this past Sunday and are off in Africa for the next 6 weeks. I have to say, you two win the prize so far for most unique ceremony…..everyone came in by steam train and the ceremony was held at a tressle, train and all. A small and intimate wedding with such a laid back couple. Perfection.

Check back here, as well as Brooke’s blog in the coming days for a full post!

Jimmy + Angela :: We Do

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of shooting alongside Brooke at a truly incredible wedding. The first time B met Angela, she called me up and said…..you HAVE to shoot this with me; you will love this girl!  Well, she was right:) Angela and Jimmy were both so kind-hearted, genuine and funny that the day didn’t feel like work at all. I truly enjoyed every second of it….prickles, tumbleweeds, scratches and all:)

Thank you both so much for having me along and putting up mine and B’s crazy ideas!

Michele

I know, I know…..she really couldn’t be any more beautiful, could she? You were simply stunning Angela:)

If you’re wondering where the getting ready, ceremony and detail shots are……head on over to Brooke’s blog for a peek; I got off easy this time!

Damian + Hailey :: A Sneak.

So, for any of you who have been to my blog, you’ll know that I talk a LOT. Which also means I type a lot. Well, this time it’s one image and few words…..it’s much later than I care to admit, and it’s a 9 a.m. wedding in the morning:)  Today Brooke and I had the best time shooting Damian and Hailey’s wedding, and to say they were an incredible couple  would be an understatement.

Soooo…..because you were uber fabulous, here is a sneak before you head off on your honeymoon. Have a wonderful time – you deserve every second.

Michele.

Kyle + Krystal :: Married

Sweet, genuine and totally into each other. That is what I got from Kyle and Krystal. They were so comfortable in front of the camera it made my job that much more enjoyable!  The day was hot, sunny and beautiful….a perfect day for a wedding, especially at Penticton Lakeside Resort where the ceremony and reception were held. Thank you to the wonderful bridal party and both of your families…..we had a wonderful time and hope you enjoy your photos:)

Make sure to check out more photos in the coming days on Brooke’s blog….she was a trooper and came out with me last minute; thanks B!

Michele

** Miss Krystal is also on my blog header up top….(she’s the hottie in the fishnets)- after doing a boudoir session with me she gave a coffee table album of the images to Kyle the morning of the wedding – I’ve got a feeling that may have contributed to his huge grin!  If you’d like to see the full session click here.

Thank you to Brooke for the fab details:)

If you only knew how dorky I was getting this shot…..I swear, sometimes even I laugh at myself:) 

Love. 

05/25/2010 - 7:59 pm Teresa T - Wow, this was a stunning wedding! You and Brooke did an amazing job, love the beach shots!

05/24/2010 - 8:29 am Rebecca - Beautiful! So dreamy.

Spring Sneaks :: 2010

Here’s a bit of what I’ve been up to the past week……although it is of course starting to feel hectic and busy and crazy – I am loving being in the midst of it all!  This next week is going to be another one with me behind the camera….Nevaeh’s ballet recital, an outdoor photoshoot of my girlies, a teensy baby girl, an uber stylish family of 4, and second shooting a wedding with Brooke. Whew!. I guess this means it’s time to start hitting the caffeine again. Hehehe!

Enjoy the sneaks and make sure to stay tuned in for full posts:)

A wonderful engagement session I got to shoot with BrookeFamily session of four of the nicest kids around….a surprise for Father’s Day!My first wedding of the year….it was hot and very sunny – these two rocked it!Last but not least – a very chill baby boy. Easiest baby to date….thanks Evan!

05/20/2010 - 7:03 am Gina - The bride and groom shot is perfection!! SOOO pretty!

05/18/2010 - 12:23 am brooke bowland - stunning couple...ahhh...love. (i am so excited to get into my photos!). perfect family photo. love the bride + groom...stunning spot. and an amazing little boy who is totally adorable. what more could a girl ask for right?

05/17/2010 - 1:17 pm jennifer - Thank you so much Michele for photographing our little peanut again! As always you did such an amazing job and we can't wait to see the rest of them!

Jessica:: A Sneak

This session is one I’m very proud of…..and our first Bridal session of sorts. We had a vintage theme for this one, not because of our request, but because Jessica is a true Vintage Girl. Their family owns our fave shop in town called Vintage & Vogue and it truly is fab. I can hardly wait to share the rest of the images…..so make sure to head on over to our White Linen site in the coming days to see this beauty in all her finery.  Seriously…..I’d consider selling one of my limbs to get my hands on some of the things she wore. Simply beautiful:)

A special thank you to sis Michelle for coming along, and to their Mum for supplying all the goodies. MUCH appreciated

Now come on….is she stunning, or what?! If my hubby is reading this and agrees to marry me again…..I’ve found my dress!

04/28/2010 - 8:40 pm Cathy Empey - I love everything about this image! Delightful for sure! Wow, loving that light! Amazing!!!

04/08/2010 - 12:33 am michele - PS - Two extra "thank you's" Brooke for the wonderful space ( can you believe this was a very grey day, and STILL the light is magical)! And to my "ex" neighbor Ella who gave me this couch which I ( reluctantly) passed on to B. It is perfect, and very appreciated!!

Best of 2009 :: Weddings

So, it took awhile to get things in order, but I pulled together my favourite images of 2009 to share with all of my wonderful clients, friends and blog followers ( that still seems hilarious to me – strangers coming to my lil ol blog to check things out…seriously?  SO appreciated)!!!  Anyways, here are the fab couples. They really, truly were. I’m pretty sure I laughed my a** off , and made a fool of myself with every single one of you. So much fun…..thank you thank you a million times over for choosing me to document such an important day in your lives. I am so thrilled to be doing this, and can’t wait for what 2010 brings. I’d also like to say a very special “thank you” to Brooke for being my partner in crime….it seriously is double the fun having you to work with – I don’t know if anyone else could deal with my bossiness/quirkiness/flightiness as well as you do ! Stay tuned to us both as we put some amazing plans into action in the coming year……

Happy 2010!

01/16/2010 - 9:13 pm Mandi - Lovin all these!! Beautiful work!!

01/16/2010 - 10:08 am Amy - Amazing! I love them all - Great work

01/15/2010 - 9:44 pm michele - Thank you ladies - Sara, I agree; the image of Ashley and her Dad is definately my fave "real" moment to date. I was a blubbering fool while she was walking down the aisle..good thing I had a second shooter as most shots were out of focus! And Brooke, thank you as well....I suppose I am a dork but I pride myself in knowing that; Nevaeh just said to me minutes ago, " Mummy, you're weird. But if you're not weird or silly, you're boring, right?!" Couldn't have said it better myself:)

01/15/2010 - 7:39 pm Sara K - the photo of your bride walking down the aisle holding back tears is amazing - what a beautiful moment to capture.

01/15/2010 - 9:32 am Gina - Love them all!

01/15/2010 - 8:39 am brooke bowland - wow. WOW. i was so thrilled to wake up and check this out this morning. you had an amazing year!! seriously amazing. oh and thanks for the mention...dork...ha. no, really...i feel exactly the same way. now i will have to make up not having a little chatter before my fave photos. maybe i need to do a specific "michele is fantastic" post. :). MWAH.
