Tyler & Sarah's Wedding - 07.18.2009

My friend's Tyler and Sarah got married in July and I havent had much time to update my blog since I got back from spreading Bill's ashes in Alaska. With all that went on last year will Bill being in the hospital I didn't book many weddings this summer but told Tyler as my wedding present to him I would shoot his wedding. Tyler and I have been friends since I was 14 and I am so happy that he found someone that is great for him in Sarah. They compliment eachother perfectly and I enjoyed shooting my friends wedding.
I left for Alaska the day after the wedding and will be posting some amazing shots I took in Alaska and Victoria. Here are some of my favorites from the wedding and check out the slideshow for more. I'll be updating my blog more frequently now that things have slowed down and I've had time to take a step back and really think about my future and grieve following the passing of my father this year. Big News to come in the next couple months.

Ember & Luke's Wedding 04.18.2009

Sometimes the old sayings ring the truest in life. Sometimes you just got to jump back on the horse or in my case jump back behind the camera to find serenity. Only two months removed from my father's passing I find myself suffering through a depression unlike just cloudy days but the most common daily rituals are sometimes monotonous and prosaic. Rolling out of bed and getting ready for the day at times can be hard and seem suffering. After the death of a parent or loved one, one can begin to question one's path in life or destiny.
You want to live life to the fullest but life waits for no man or woman and can pass by before your eyes in a blink or a shutter click. Looking back on photo's of my life with my father, memories that I cant quite place but are before me in photographic form, without photo's of our memories would we remember the moment how it was or do we play it
out in our heads of how we wish it was.
Wedding's arent always perfect and very rarely do they go off without a hitch but in my eye's and through the photo's I capture I hope to give the memories of a beautiful and amazing day that was just as the couple will remember it for a lifetime, the furthest thing from monotonous and unlifealtering. I was very sick the day's leading up to this wedding and extremely sick the day of with a cold and touch of the flu. But Ember and Luke, as well as everyone around, were very helpful and I was able to make it through without collapsing from dehydration due to lots of water and iced tea. It felt good to be back out there with my camera's capturing moments and I get this happy glow in myself when the day is through and
Im loading the photo's onto my computer, picking out some of my favorites to edit before drifting off to sleep.
Here are some of my favorites from the wedding last week, it's amazing to be back at work doing what I love and feeling like I have a purpose again.
Thanks Ember & Luke for a Terrific
Wedding to capture
and for getting me back on the horse as they say.
