Photographer Attacked By Nibbling Horses
Tuesday, 31 August 2010 16:48

The Simpson family arrived like a lot of Irish immigrants here in Chilliwack, British Columbia more than 100 years ago. Bob and Edie Simpson brought up four kids and have had many great years at their farm. Those kids have grown children of their own now and some of those children are having children. So it is with some regret that the farm is for sale, the horses will go and Bob and Edie will find smaller digs. I had the pleasure of joining the entire family one afternoon last week and beyond being seen as a tasty treat by one fiesty mare it was so much fun.

Working on Anne + Geoff's wedding books. Here are a few favourite pictures from their three lovely days in Vancouver.

Men Being Boys Girls Being Women

Jennifer+ Mike were married in the garden at the historic Harrison Hot Springs Hotel on Saturday, but it wasn't about them. It truly was a coming of age party for their son and daughter, Reilly + Alexa. It was a day of men being boys and girls being women. It was a beautiful day on the lake and a perfect wedding for all. Thanks to Alanna Clempson for helping as second photographer, and to Andrea Rosenke and all the staff at Harrison for being so fine.

You Were Always There For Me

The thing I love about weddings besides beautiful horses, slobbering dogs, cute kids and 91-year-old, sharp-as-a-tack grandmothers is the raw emotion. Friday's wedding with Renae + Tyler was a whirlwind of laughter and tears as we travelled the length of the eastern Fraser Valley here in British Columbia on one of the hottest days of the summer. Have fun in Costa Rica.

Two Brides

A gorgeous location in the Eastern Fraser Valley 70 miles from Vancouver. A rambunctious crowd of family and friends. The sound of gunshots from a nearby rifle range during a ceremony filled with laughter and tears. What more do you want in a country wedding in the summer?

 

Peace On Earth As It Is

It's so nice to work close to home for a change. We travel to so many exotic and beautiful locations only to discover we live in a place that stands on its own. Just a quick pic here from today's wedding with Gina + Suzanne in the Chilliwack River Valley. More soon.

Susie+Hans were married at the Fraser Valley Lodge Saturday. A lovely day. A beautiful location. Cute kids. And fast-moving, slow-looking beasts on the right side of a good fence.
