Beatriz & Sam's Wedding - Vancouver Island

Photography by: Christina Craft & Eunice Montenegro
Location: St. Ann's Academy & The Marriott Hotel
Beatriz & Sam organized their entire wedding while living in France. Her family is originally from Brazil and, since Beatriz & Sam have traveled and lived all over the world, most of the guests were from far-reaching international destinations. I was able to shoot this wedding with Eunice (who is from Brazil - a special treat for her to speak Portuguese with guests) and we loved that Beatriz & Sam had so much trust in us. During the portrait session Eunice shot mostly natural light and I shot mostly off-camera flash. The results were so different from both of our cameras. We had such a blast at this wedding and went completely snap happy. Thank you Beatriz & Sam for letting us experiment so much and for being such rock stars. We loved working with you.

Traci & Skip's Wedding at Saxe Point & The Ward Room in Victoria, BC

Photographed by: Christina Craft & Eunice Montenegro
Location: Saxe Point Park & The Ward Room
Wedding Coordinator: Liz Fosdek
Traci & Skip are a couple who are completely in step with each other. You can tell by the way Skip looks at Traci that he absolutely adores her and vice versa. Their wedding was outdoors, under a tent, at Saxe Point Park and they were surrounded by friends and family bursting with pride. It was unfortunately fairly windy and cold (it was probably 15 degrees but felt closer to five) so took shelter at the Delta Ocean Point for pictures and we were able to use the large three-storey window in their lobby as a backdrop. Skip is an engineer with the navy and they had their party at the Naval Base's Ward Room in Esquimalt, which has the absolute best views of the Olympic Peninusla. There were plenty of revelers and we had so much fun on the dance floor with everyone. Eunice Montenegro, who used to co-own FunkyTown Photography before she moved to the east coast, teamed up with me for this wedding. I was excited to partner with one of my favorite photogrpahers and best friends. Skip & Traci, congratulations! You were both stunning and we loved working with you!

Ode to Eunice

Photos by Eunice

I am still in disbelief that one of my closet friends will now live on the opposite coast, exactly 6213.79710 kilometers away. I was looking through some of our work over the year and found myself going, "oh, that one is so cool." "OMG. I love that one." So, I decided to pay homage to some of my personal favorites from her weddings in 2009. She is a rare talent and a nutty chick and I'm going to miss her like crazy. I've heard that I'll be using Skype a lot this year to keep in touch. Eunice will continue to serve some of FunkyTown's Caribbean destinations. We'll keep you in the loop as she settles into her new life out east. Goodbye Eunice! We're going to miss you!!

Tamara & Brad's Trashing the Dress

Photographed by Eunice

I have no words to describe how cool Tamara and Brad are. This was
my last photoshot before I moved to the maritimes and it couldn't have been more fun. Tamara is a fan of the Twilight movie so we tried to create mood to resemble some of the scenes. I don't need to tell you that there were lots of passers-by who stopped what they were doing to watch us do this shoot. LOL. Thank you Brad and Tamara for making my work so easy!!
