Quick update

I just made a small update to my portfolios - some of the highlights from the Wiebe wedding are up now. I've also added one or two new shots to the People portfolio. Enjoy!

Wedding # 5

I've just finished editing Garret and Breanne's wedding - this one took a lot longer than I thought, for several reasons. First, it was an overcast day, which required more color tweaking than I thought it would. Second, I moved the day after the wedding, and spent the last month adjusting to life here. 

Regardless, it's done now, and there's some great shots. I've also learned my lesson about double-booking my time ;)

Other than that, life is good. I took a spontaneous trip up to Prince George last week, and I might put a couple shots from that trip up here. Life in the DTES continues as 'normal' - last night my entire block was taped off by the police because of a guy threatening to jump off a building down the street. Thankfully they managed to get him down safe and sound, but it really brought home to me just how desperate some people are down here. Depression and mental illness is such a terrifying spectre at the best of times - now imagine facing that without the safety net of friends and family. Add abuse into the mix, and you have a deadly concoction. It is little wonder that people turn to addiction and suicide to escape the pain that they are in. Fortunately in this case the man was able to be helped... I just hope that I can help make a difference in someone's life, and let them know that they are loved.

Wedding!

I've been editing Vannesa and Kirby's wedding all evening, and while I still do have a little bit to do in the morning, the Lion's share is done now.... just in time for me to take a break in Ucluelet for the next week.

My next wedding is in two weeks, at the beginning of May - I then have another coming up at the end of August, and maybe one more in between as well.

Here's one of my favorites from Vanessa and Kirby's - I'm going to try and have the wedding portfolio up tomorrow morning, and it will include a few more of these as well.
