Terry + George Backyard Intimate Wedding, Richmond, BC


I totally fell in love with this couple!! Terry & George, together for 17 years, had decided to finally get hitched.  It was a lovely ceremony in their backyard with just their immediate families there to witness this special day.

Terry was giddy with excitement the whole time I was there taking photos and I think I captured the genuine love they share. It's inspiring that after 17 years of being together, to see such passion and love between a couple.

They live on a gorgeous townhouse complex with beautiful gardens....we didn't have to travel far for their photos. ;) 


Enjoy the photos..... :)








 

























4Cats Capitol Hill - Parents & Friends Night Out



Recently I spent a Wednesday evening at 4Cats Capitol Hill for a Parent's and Friend's Night Out. My son attends art classes at 4Cats and when Maggie, the Capitol Hill studio curator, told me that she was holding an evening painting class for adults I signed up right away!

Even though I took art, photography, drafting, drawing, and majored in Interior Design in college, I never considered painting "my thing".  So I was a little curious as to how I would do in this class because often painting as an art intimidated me. Especially acrylic paint on canvas, which was on this evenings menu.

I cannot tell you how much FUN this class was!!! Maggie and her team (Dino and Neela) made us feel comfortable and walked us through the process of painting a Georgia O'Keeffe inspired painting.  The teaching process was a wonderful balance of being left to create our own inspired piece while getting little tips and tricks along the way to help us with painting technique etc.

Here are some shots of the evening.  I have to give credit to Maggie for grabbing my camera to take some shots while I was busy painting. So for once, I am in some photos!!!

Thanks to Maggie and her team for a fabulous evening.  A much needed fun night out getting creative!
