Annie & Eve's Wedding

Shauna & Craig's St. Lucia Wedding

Photographed by Christina: I was really excited to go to St. Lucia since it's an island I've wanted to visit for a long time (think jungle, mountains and waterfalls flowing into the Caribbean sea). And I'm so glad it was Shauna & Craig's wedding that got me there. These two were so nice, easy going, and really, truly happy. Everyone came in from Fresno, California to celebrate... and that they did! It was definitely a happenin' party! They were married at the awe-inspiring Castries Catedral, which is the oldest (and I think largest) church in the Caribbeanwith a reception at the infamous Sandals Regency Resort. A couple of days after the wedding, we went all over the island for extra pictures, including the Piton Mountains (which are always on the covers of travel magazines). A cool story - Shauna's mom Terri met Craig first since he was her personal trainer. She thought he'd be a good match for Shauna, so convinced her to give personal training a try. The end result: a perfect match. Shauna & Craig, congratulations! I'm happy we had a chance to get to know each other.

The Canoe Club

We've actually been doing a lot of commercial work lately, but we're just a little behind on our blog posts. Our most recent assignment was with the Canoe Club. We did some lifestyle stock work last week, in addition to some food photography a few months ago. Eunice was in absolute heaven, since her favorite thing to photograph (and actually, just her favorite thing in the whole world) is FOOD! Christina made the mistake of wearing a skirt to the most recent shoot, which was probably the first time she's ever done that... not realizing that the Canoe Club wanted someone to go up a shaky five-storey tall ladder (made of rope!) on a yacht in the marina (which is also owned by the Canoe Club) to take some overhead views of the building. Christina isn't afraid of heights, but Eunice is and she braved going up that shaky ladder because silly Christina wore that damned skirt!! Christina now owes Eunice BIG TIME! lol We're extremely proud of Eunice for going the extra mile and getting great shots as well! We had a lot of fun with the Canoe Club staff though and we think they chose some pretty hot models to pose for pictures. We have more commerical jobs to post - coming soon to our blog: The Butterfly Gardens, Robinson's Outdoor Store and Truffles Catering. :)

India`s High School Graduation & Prom

Eunice & Erin (our fantastic intern from the Saskatchewan Institute of Technology) photographed this gorgeous teenager to celebrate her highschool prom. When we first found out about how popular senior portraits are in the USA (almost every US highschool graduate gets one done) we were like, "why didn't we have that when we were graduating high school?" Senior portraits - which are basically a high-fashion magazine-inspired shoots - are a fantastic way to mark this important milestone (and it makes a really great gift for the highschool or university grad in your life!). We think India did a great job of channeling her inner movie star...Angelina Jolie, eat your heart out. Congratulations on your graduation India!

Mary & Rob

We were so flattered when Mary & Rob chose FunkyTown to be a part of their intimate elopment at the fabulous Aerie Resort outside of Victoria. They flew in from Arizona to have their destination wedding here - and they scored a perfect day... not too hot, not too cold and some beautiful sunlight t'boot. We were able to go all over the area for additional photos, including a few trash the dress shots at the end of the day (something we rarely do on an actual wedding day - talk about a treat!). They were so easy going and fun to photograph. We had a blast. Mary & Rob, congratulations!!

KEEP 'EM COMING!

We're only two weeks into Viva la wedding's Inspiration Board Contest and the entries are pouring in. There are so many creative brides out there! Keep 'em coming, and good luck!

Andrea & Christian

We consider ourselves among the luckiest people in the world because we get to work with crazy fun people like Andrea & Christian. These two are so laid back and fun and we can't thank them enough for allowing us to do a lot of creative photograpy. They were married at the gorgeous Goward House estate and had a late afternoon reception on one of the nicest days this spring. Both Andrea & Christian and each set of parents were all about surprises and there were many throughout the day, including a gorgeous vintage car that showed up to escort them around (arranged by Andrea's parents). When the reception was over, we were able to spend a couple of hours of alone time all over town and down near the ocean, including one of their favorite haunts, the Bard & Banker. We even found a reserved parking spot with Andrea's lucky number 7! Andrea & Christian, you are one of a kind and we thank you so much for being so awesome!
