MEGAN AND RYAN | POWELL RIVER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Megan and Ryan are awesome.  I mean, check out their engagement session from last weekend.  It's proof.

Beautiful and light, whimiscal and darling... these images make me smile.  As if they weren't cute enough, they brought along their dog, Bailey, who put the whole thing into overload.  Spring sun is the best.

ALI AND ROB | FLAUNT YOUR ROCK, POWELL RIVER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

How on earth to I end up photographing such beautiful people?

Ali and Rob were kind enough to take part in my Flaunt Your Rock contest earlier this year, and even though they were runners-up... they put up a good fight and I just couldn't say no to an e-sesh with them.

They've been friends since high school, never letting their friendship cross "that line". Three years later ago, that all changed, and now... their wedding day is less than a month away. I couldn't help but be instantly energized and uplifted at their joie de vivre and their beautiful connection.

Onto the pictures, already!

Ali and Rob - I wish you both the best for your wedding day and beyond.  Thank you so much for braving the near rain conditions and bearing with my insane antics during your shoot.  Enjoy.  Your $50 gift certificate will be in your inbox shortly!

Now everyone, leave some love in the form of comments below!

JENN AND ADAM | POWELL RIVER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

In case you missed it, I had a little contest on my blog back in March called Flaunt Your Rock.  The winners?  Jenn and Adam.

You already know their story, so let's just get on to the pictures, shall we?

When the first frame I shoot looks like this, it's a safe bet this shoot will be amazing.

Um, hi.  You two are smokin'.

And Jenn works it out!

And moving on to a more natural setting...

Amazing, delicious light.  I could eat it with a spoon.

I love Love.

Couldn't resist getting a couple with Ollie in them...

How lucky are we to live here?!  Catching those late rays of light is awesome.

And one more of Oliver.  Don't hate.  I couldn't resist.

Jenn and Adam were certainly deserving of the number one spot in my contest.  Just look at their photographs!  They are so obviously in love.  And gorgeous, to boot.  Lucky me - I get to photograph their upcoming wedding in 2011.  I simply can't wait to work with them both again.

Leave some love for Jenn and Adam below!

LAURA AND TREVOR | VANCOUVER ISLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

I've said it before, and I'll say it a million more times - I'm so lucky to photograph such amazing people.

Laura and Trevor are no exception.  I've known Laura since University - she was one of my best friend's roommates - and have logged a decent amount of time together, usually on Thursday nights, parked in front of the television watching Friends and ER.  Now that I think about it, maybe ER resonated with her pretty heavily... she's now a ER nurse.

Laura and Trevor are getting married in Duncan, and I was ecstatic when a) she announced her engagement, and b) asked me to be her photographer.  Life is too good.

I can't wait for their fall wedding!

All the photographs were taken at the Filberg Gardens in beautiful Comox, BC.  If you have never been there, you absolutely have to go.  It's breathtaking... and the garden wasn't even in full bloom yet!

























Laura and Trevor... it was a blast. I cannot wait for your wedding and sharing the rest of your engagement photos with you.

Leave some love for the couple below!

DENISE AND CHRIS | POWELL RIVER ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

After two weeks of crap weather, it was refreshing to wake up on a morning with the sun shining.  Of course, that had faded into the afternoon haze that made for these amazing engagement photos with the kindest of couples.  After their shoot, I simply cannot wait for their July wedding.

Denise... you're unbelievably beautiful.  Chris... you ain't too bad, either!

Love this one.

This is already a contender for my favorite image of the year.

Everyone knows how I love a beach and a cloudy day.  I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday... photographing people in love.  Thank you so much Denise and Chris for braving my goofiness and the cold with me.  Leave some bloggy-love for the lovebirds below!

FLAUNT YOUR ROCK | AND THE WINNER IS...

Wow.

I cannot believe how many votes were cast in my little contest!  Insanity!  Thank you to everyone that voted for the three couples that entered.  However, it was a contest, and the winner is (drum roll, please)...

That's right, COUPLE #1, Jenn and Adam, take the cake with a whopping 796 votes.  You guys have a lot of friends... good luck narrowing down the guest list!

As winners of the FLAUNT YOUR ROCK contest, Jenn and Adam get a FREE ENGAGEMENT SESSION with Kennedy Photografik and a $100 PRINT CREDIT for their fabulous photos!

Anyone who knows me, know that I hate contests.  Really... this is true.  Because with every winner, there's always a loser.  And I hate that!  So....

As runners-up in the FLAUNT YOUR ROCK contest, both couples will receive a FREE ENGAGEMENT MINI-SESSION with Kennedy Photografik and a $50 PRINT CREDIT to use for their images.  I can't thank Allison and Rob and Megan and Ryan enough for taking part in this contest!  Check your inboxes for details soon!

out and about [engagement photography]

As promised, here are some more of Jessica and Ricky's fab engagement session out and about in Powell River - her hometown. They were so much fun and totally HOT!

Jessica says this wall reminds her of PR.

Who doesn't love a brick wall?

They both think they're not photogenic. HELLLOOO?!? I beg to differ! Holy hot tamales! :)

Jessica worked it out - look at those eyes!

We shot in and around Marine Avenue and the Willingdon Beach area, and ended our photo session (and catch-up!) at the fabulous Bemused for dessert and coffee. Like I said, it is so flattering that a friend wanted me to shoot them - especially when they reside in the city and have a bevy of amazingly-frickin'-talented photographers to choose from there!

Jessica and Ricky - thank you thank you thank you - and I can't wait to see you again soon!
