Wedding Images from 2006

2007-01-11T20:43:00.000-08:00

Here are a small selection of images from weddings shot during 2006

Julie & Grady

August 5th. at Coal Harbour community centre.

This was a very short wedding in a beautiful setting on the waterfront.

Scott & Leslie

August 25th. at Whistler

This was a very unusual wedding as there were two ceremonies
and was two hours late getting started. Prior to many of the
wedding guests arriving the gondola to the top of Whistler mountain
stopped working. The guests who were already on the gondola were
transfered at the halfway mark to the chairlift for the rest of the trip
up the mountain. Unfortunately that also broke down and the guests
had to be shipped up the mountain a few at a time in the staff pick up
trucks.

Due to the delay the registrar could not wait as she had another
ceremony to perform elsewhere, so the fathers of the bride and groom
took it upon themselves to perform the wedding ceremony in front of
the gathered guests. later on of course the regisrar returned to make
the marriage official and the reception continued until it was time to
go home, when everyone was trucked back down the mountain four
at a time in the pick ups.

Tanya & Michael

June 17th.

Tanya & Michael were married in the pretty little chapel in Minoru Park in Richmond. The reception took place at the nearby Marriott Hotel.

Happy New Year

2007-01-01T22:03:00.000-08:00

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my friends, clients and colleagues a very warm and happy new year.

It has been a very busy year with the move to new premises, and business has also kept us busy, but we are finally getting settled in and enjoying our new home.

Merry Christmas everyone

Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Moving Day

2006-09-29T11:26:00.000-07:00

Well we finally found a house we liked in Vancouver that we could afford (just). And now we get to move in today.

It is much closer for work and school than the old house, although not as close as we would like.

It seems like a nice area and very central to almost anywhere in the Greater Vancouver Area.
Shopping is close by as Metrotown is only five minutes drive away.

Still lots to do with unpacking and trying to find space for all the accumulated things we brought with us. But once we've been in it for a while it will all work out fine.

Andrea's first year at school

2006-06-29T12:07:00.000-07:00

Andrea has just completed her kindergarten year at school and will be moving into grade 1 in September.

She has learned a lot this year and enjoys her school, and she has made many friends from her class.

Her reading and writing have improved tremendously this year and no doubt will continue to improve as she moves up through the school system.

For most of this first year I have had the honour of being allowed to enter the classroom occasionally to photograph the girls at work. I had a great time on this project. I think the other parents in class enjoyed the images as much as I did, as it is not often parent get to see their child in the classroom setting to this extent.

A few samples of the images I captured from the school project are shown below.

House sold, now what?

2006-06-23T11:25:00.000-07:00

We sold our house last week in Delta, as we are looking to move to Vancouver. It went fairly quickly, less than two weeks.

Now we have the job of finding another house we can afford in Vancouver. We did see a house that looked great and made a full price offer. Unfortunately many other people also saw it and offered much more. It sold for $50,000.00 over asking price.

Welcome to the Vancouver real estate market. Luckily we have a couple of months before we have to move, so we should be able to find something by then.
