Vote for your favorite image from 2009

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.

280_A&TK_020709

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

289_K&R_080809

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

250_M&B_220809

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

267_E&B_070809

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.

395__D&J_311209

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

269J&S_030909

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

276_C&S_210809

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 :-)

274_K&M_191209

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

362_A&R_190909

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.
