Olympic Vancouver

So on Saturday I caught the ferry to visit downtown on the penultimate day of the Olympics. Downtown was Rockin! Tens of thousands of folks, out just having a good time.

Here’s just a few of the shots I took, taken with my ‘walkabout’ Nikon D5000, Tamron 17-55 and Nikon 70-200 F2.8

Kristina & Jay, Beach Club Parksville, 19th Feb

chrisboar — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 04:35:56 +0000

A glorious sunny day for Kristina & Jay’s big wedding day at the Beach Club Resort in Parksville. I set up a ‘first sight’ meeting for them as they saw each before the ceremony.

Comments most welcome below, and keep any eye on my clients page for the rest of their images.

Reminder to vote on your favorite image of ‘09.

Just over a week until I close the contest to vote from the choice of my personal favorite images!

The response has been phenomenal, keep those votes coming!

Also we seem to be having some ‘over-enthusiastic’ voting occurring for want of better phrase

In light of this I’m retrospectively introducing a new rule which is sort of self evident…one person-one vote. I’m allowing upto 5 votes from the same IP address, e.g. for families. But getting 20-30 votes late at night from the same IP address within minutes, is a weensy bit suspicious

So vote away, not long to go!

Kristel & Jeremy, 13th Feb, Pt Alberni

chrisboar — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 06:04:11 +0000

So first wedding of 2010 turned out to be a wet one….very wet. For Kristel & Jeremy’s big day they were married in a local church, a fun shoot at a local acerage, and then onto the Italian Hall who put on a fine spread for dinner, and DJ Tara Clydesdale did a fine job on filling the dance floor.

Comments most welcome below! And keep an eye on my clients page for the rest of their images.

Pretty please become a fan!

Vote for your favorite image from 2009

chrisboar — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 19:02:41 +0000

It’s that time of the year…a quick review from 2009. I’ve scoured through my weddings from last year and picked out my 10 personal favorite images.

This was no easy task! I shot 54 weddings last year, and delivered around 30,000 images to my clients. So to pick out just 10 images was a bit of a nightmare actually. This is just my personal pick. Apologies if your photo isn’t included, every wedding had images I wanted to include.

Everyone is invited! Vote for your favorite image in the comments box below. The winning couple will receive a Fine Art 16×20 Matted print of their choice from their wedding.

Voting will close at the end of Feburary.

So onto the photo’s….in no particular order.

1.Andrea & TK, 2nd July. Having a smooch by Ucluelet Lighthouse.

2. Kristina & Rob, 8th August….wishing that was their car

3. Melissa & Brandon, 22nd August. Melissa with her sassy ladies…

4. Erin & Ben, 7th August…Victoria….back a bit!

5. Debbie & Jason, New Years Eve, Mt Washington. I just love everyones expression’s as this girl just dropped into the splits during a ‘extreme dancing’ contest at the reception.

6. Jenny & Sean, 3rd of Sept, having their 1st dance on Chesterman Beach, Tofino.

7.Colleen & Sean, 21st August, trying not to get blown off the rocks in Victoria.

8. Kelice & Michael, 19th Dec, Nanoose Bay. I usually end up doing a ‘Jump’ shot at most weddings. This one turned out quite well technically I think, everyone is jumping, and suitable goofy expressions

9. Amber & Ryan. 19th Sept. I think Amber was just relieved she was finally married.

10. Robin & Neil, 3rd October. Now and again it’s nice to just stop worrying about the next great ’supermodel’ pose, and capture the couple naturally relaxed. I really like this quick ’snap’ I took.

New Years day. Lisa & Clint, Crown Isle

chrisboar — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:24:40 +0000

So on my way home from Mt Washington I stopped off for just an hour to meet newly married Lisa & Clint for a quick shoot at the Crown Isle Golf Resort in Comox.

New Year’s Eve…Debbie & jason, mt washington

chrisboar — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 19:38:45 +0000

A whiteout and snow blizzard greeted me at Raven Lodge for Debbie’s and Jason big day. A great night with a live band, and an ‘extreme’ dance competition, with DJ Dave Hampshire doing a fine job getting the dance floor full.

I was in ‘ninja’ candid mode for most of the night allowing me to capture some great shots as we counted down to midnight and 2010.
