Summer Wedding

I had the wonderful opportunity to join a friend on a wedding shoot this summer. I had a blast trying out new lenses, testing the capabilities of my camera, stepping out and trying something new. I have never taken so many pictures in one day.

The bride and groom picked a beautiful location at Capilano Park and were graced with fantastic weather. I loved the chinese umbrellas which allowed for some shade from the sun and was a great prop. The regional park provided a great backdrop for the wedding party shoots.

Check out Cheryl's blog for her stunning photos.

Anthroplogie

Just let the love begin. There are so many things to love in this store it is just too bad that there isn't one a little closer to home. Something about the vintage chic style, the freshly painted and decorated display areas, the texture and perfectly embellished clothes makes you fall in love with every item in the store. So a made a purchase partly because I just fell in love with the store and partly because it was a must have shirt that I now treasure and love the memories it conjures every time I put it on.

From House to a Home

I moved into my place over a year ago and love the transformation it has undergone to become a home. The DIY projects, garage sale finds, treasured items I have been collecting, photographs, and house plants all add to the details of making it a home. It all makes me happy every time I step in each room.
