CANS FOR COMMENTS 2009

November 25, 2009

I wanted to let everyone know about a little thing I’m doing this holiday season, to give back to our community.
It’s called “Cans for Comments” and I saw it on a local photographer’s website last year. The amount of participating photographers has grown, and this year is sure to top the numbers from the previous year.

How it works:
For every comment on my blog – new comments, on ANY post I’ve made, I will donate one canned or boxed item to my local food bank.

10 comments = 10 cans of food.
It’s just that simple.

Cans for Comments will be running from December 1st to 10th.
That’s 10 days to raise awareness for the Richmond Food Bank, and help out families in need this year.

Stay tuned for December 1st!

Erin & Dean – Engagement Photos ••• Vancouver Wedding and Portrait Photographer – Carol-Ann Photography •••

November 25, 2009

Erin & Dean’s engagement session was set for a Saturday in October.
We had hoped and hoped for nice weather.
Monday – Friday rain.
Saturday – supposed to rain.
Sunday – supposed to rain.

Monday – Friday it poured.
Saturday rolled around, and we were AMAZED.
It was one of the most beautiful days we had had in a LONG LONG time.
IT was just PERFECT for our engagement session.
(and Sunday poured rain again!)

I met with Erin & Dean out in sunny White Rock, and we had a great time wandering around some new locations, and then hitting up an old favourite of mine (the Stewart Farm House!)
I can’t wait for their wedding in the Spring.
If it’s anything like them, there’s going to be a lot of laughing, and smiling!

The S Family – Family Photos ••• Vancouver Wedding and Portrait Photographer – Carol-Ann Photography •••

November 25, 2009

I had the pleasure of meeting the S family last year when the youngest was only 6 months old. I couldn’t believe what a difference a year makes! We met up at Gary Point Park in Steveston for a very energetic photo session! Have you ever tried to photograph 3 kids, under the age of 5 at once?! I think I was exhausted by the end of it! BUT, what a great time we had!!!!

Erin & Nik – Wedding Photos ••• Vancouver Wedding and Portrait Photographer – Carol-Ann Photography •••

November 25, 2009

How’s this for random…
1 weekend… 2 weddings.
BOTH grooms have the same last name.
and both have picked red and black for their wedding colours.
That, my friends, was the September long weekend!

Meet Erin & Nik. (Ok, well you met them last year when I did their pumpkin patch engagement session!)
Erin *& Nik got married at the fabulous Pitt Meadows Golf Club.
It’s quickly becoming one of my favourite venues to shoot at. I have to give a big thumbs up to Julie, the coordinator there. She’s on the ball!

I had such a great time shooting Erin & Nik’s big day. The weather was iffy, but held out long enough for us to do the majority of our shots outdoors.
Congrats Erin & Nik, and enjoy your lives together!
(and with your new kitty!)

Alex & Malcolm – Wedding Photos ••• Vancouver Wedding and Portrait Photographer – Carol-Ann Photography •••

November 8, 2009

For Alex & Malcolm’s big day the weather forecast was just terrible.
It was supposed to downpour all day – more rain in one day than we had had in MONTHS.
As I made the drive out to Langley things looked optimistic. There was a break in the rain, and the clouds hung around for some perfect lighting – woohoo! The ceremony was absolutely GORGEOUS, and it was able to be held in the beautiful outdoor location at Redwoods Golf Course. Everything was perfect – looked beautiful, and dry! we headed out into Fort Langley for a few photos then…. the rain returned it put a damper on the outdoor shots, but not in the bubbly spirit of Alex and Malcolm. They were ready to arrive to the reception in STYLE! I got a real chuckle out of their hot rod golf cart!!!! Thanks so much for having me share in your special day Alex and Malcolm!!! It was an amazing emotion filled celebration.
