Sometimes, you just need to hike a really tall mountain to get away from it all. In this case, my wife Amy and her sister and I visited the very top of Whistler in British Columbia, Canada.

I had the special opportunity to do a photoshoot for a 6 day old baby boy named Caden. The preciousness of such a young baby is rarely captured, and I want to thank Anton & Karen for allowing me to capture this moment for them.

Armand + Rose | Taproot Church Wedding

I recently had the opportunity to document the intimate wedding of Armand & Rose, two wonderful people who can’t be more in love. This wedding has been a long time coming for both of them and I’m glad to see them together at last. Though I rarely do wedding-day photography, it was wonderful to be part of their special day with family and friends.
