Shaun and Senella's Wedding Photo Shoot



When Shaun, the groom-to-be, came by several weeks back to book the grounds for his wedding photo shoot, Senella the bride-to-be was not with him.
On the day, as she stepped from the 1940 Cadillac, her arm in his, she was amazingly radiant. They both were.
Such a lovely sight, this very happy couple.

Indulge me for a moment, because the Cadillac was a vision, too! I'm a nut for chrome and hunt out car shows just to shoot the shiny stuff, specially a figurehead like this one.


On that sweltering day, one of the hottest in August, the amazingly radiant bride kept her cool the whole time (several hours worth) of the photo shoot.




So did her attendants and the perfect little flower girls in their perfectly crisp white dresses, though occasionally a wrist went a little limp.





Some removed shoes to stand - or crouch to avoid wrinkles - on the lawn's cool grass.





With so many great places for photos here, Ingrid the photographer kept busy with her creative edge.
She loves her job, and is always upbeat.









For those interested, feel free to call the Haig-Brown House to arrange for your wedding photography shoot, or book the day for your ceremony - 250-286-6646
Plan ahead!
Dates for 2010 are already going fast!

Danish Joes



Those boys from Copenhagen are lively, funny, and were just here for the fishin'!
Too bad their bags didn't show up with them on British Airways and instead, limped in on a local airline 48 hours later.

So Peter and Lars went shopping for t-shirts in the "Joe" department at Zellers, armed themselves with new toothbrushes and razors, and that ever-industrious fishing guide, Ken Moreau of Single Spey, came through with all the gear needed for a day on the river.

Peter creates his own line of fishing rods and tackle (?)... actually, apologies on my part: I'm not the fisher, so all of that gets a bit tangled, kinda like my fishing lines. Anyhoo, here's Peters' website so you can see for yourself:
http://norsker.dk
While most of the site's in Danish, I find the language quite similar to English plus the site is full of photos and easy to navigate. Well done Peter!

Lars, on the other hand, is the comic who is a writer, who models, who speaks Russian and flawless English (as does Peter) and is very generous with his boots. He takes direction well and works hard (see previous post: "The Days Are Just Packed") and not at all self-conscious.

They seem to have fished all over the world! Russia, Ireland, Quebec, Iceland, and the Pitt River here in BC.
According to the photo I took, they have halos while at the Campbell...

It was great having you guys here, and I hope you'll make it back to this neck of the woods again.
