I thought I’d revisit one of my favourite photos I’ve ever taken, even if it was taken with my old Digital Rebel and kit lens, re-edited tonight. Whenever I hear Irish music, I always think of the month I spent in Ireland last April. It makes me wish I could go back. I can’t even watch the movie Once because it makes me miss Dublin too much, even though it’s a beautiful movie with gorgeous music.

This photo was taken at the Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland, which reminds me a lot of the west coast of Canada – rainy, windy, and cloudy, but beautiful. The beaches are similar to our rocky beaches on Vancouver Island, but the grass is much, much greener. I think my dream wedding would be at O’Brien’s Tower (information on booking your wedding here) at the Cliffs of Moher, maybe an elopement with an awesome reception back home after.

I would love to photograph a wedding in Ireland, especially at the Cliffs, but anywhere really. Contact me for no travel fees on my full day wedding photography package if you’re getting married at the cliffs, or in Ireland in general.

Claude hired me from Winnipeg to take some family portraits in Victoria, when he came to visit his new grandchild.  It’s always interesting to finally meet people at their portrait sessions when I hadn’t met them before.  This whole family (and their dog) was very friendly and fun.  They didn’t want traditional “gathering around a rock” family portraits and had a bunch of great ideas of their own.  The sun was a bit harsh that day, but I tried to use it to my advantage.  I’m actually a big fan of bright white skies and sun flare.  And I love getting that sparkling ocean in my photos.

On Wednesday, Amy and Rachel got married in the garden at the Laurel Point Inn.  They travelled from Puyallup, Washington to have their wedding in Victoria, along with several members of their family and friends.  I think they were the smiliest couple I’ve ever seen after a wedding ceremony.  They headed back home and had a reception on Saturday, where I hear they were planning to share some of their photos.  I hope everyone enjoyed them and felt like they were there.  I loved being a part of such an intimate event.
