BY THE BOOK.

Seriously, it pains me when I find out that people don't print their photographs.

Beyond Facebook, how do you plan on sharing your wedding with your friends and family? Okay, I know that your BFF is already tagged herself in all the bridal party shots, but what great uncle Rupert? What about your Grandma? (Something tells me that fifteen minutes hovering over your laptop isn't what she had in mind.)

Let's say that I just shot your wedding. Yay! Are you going to let those images sit on a disc? All digital media is fallible at some point - be it a corrupt drive or degradation that occurs over time.

So, what about you? Do you want you wedding photographs, a family heirloom, to sit idly by on a disc? I spend hours in post-production to make sure that your images are retouched and ready for print; after all, that's what photographs are for. Printing.

Albums are an amazing way to share your printed photographs with your friends and family. I carry a beautiful, distinctive and completely customizable line of albums that will compliment your images perfectly. Albums can tell your story better than a single image hanging on a wall, and arguably more portable! They are archival, acid-free, lay flat; available in silk brocades, textured leathers and suedes with imprinting and cover options. They are completely unique. Not one is the same. Kinda like you. :)





Really, you have to see them to appreciate them. The craftsmanship is amazing, and I'm happy to be able to offer them to my clients.

Now... get printing. Something. Anything. :)

POWELL RIVER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS: BRITT & DES

It's nothing but laughs and fun with these two. Asking them to stand in the middle of wooded areas, as if it was the most natural thing to do... they just laughed it off like it was the most natural thing to do. I'm still laughing, too.

Here's just a sneak peek for you.
