Hello all! Thanks for bearing with no blog posts for a month as planning for Aaron & Kait's wedding has been absolutely craaaaaazy. As per usual, us men were running around with our heads cut off last minute trying to get everything together from our clothing, our rides and our accommodations. Aaron, if you're reading this, I'm sorry.

Being part of the wedding party is kinda weird and not my usual schtick as I'm usually the one on the other side of the camera, but it was definitely nice to catch up on bro-time (sorry, Carmen!) My dear brotographer and friend, Jesse Yuen, was shooting the wedding which I am more than stoked to see. I'm sure he won't mind me posting a quick edit of one of shots solely for this blog post, so here it is:

The wedding itself went down at sunrise, so we were all up and about by 5 and at the beach for the ceremony at around 645 or so. Although Starbucks has prepared me for mornings over the last month, it was still hard until we got to see the look on Aaron's and Kait's faces as they embraced just as the sun popped over the horizon. The timing couldn't be more immaculate. Following the ceremony, we embarked on a hike on the south peak of the Chinese Mountains where I did bring my camera for some pictures. Unfortunately we were all busy partying and having a grand ol' time, so no other pictures of the wedding. Regardless, enjoy!

Well time sure flies! It's been two years with the lady and we had discussed Galiano Island for some time. The island itself is located in the Southern Gulf Islands in between mainland BC and Vancouver Island. (1 hour from Tsawwassen ferry terminal).

Anyhoo, we got a cute little cottage and went adventuring throughout the first third of an island due to our lack of transportation, but most of the cutesy little shops were all walking distance, and we were 5 minutes from the ferry...and the beach!

The food too was delicious (I'm sorry I didn't get any pictures) but if anyone from Vancouver is looking for a quick getaway to somewhere close that isn't congested and more rural, I would highly recommend it. The sea-faring birds were also amazing as we saw some herons; the crows have been replaced by ravens and eagles fly free.

I kept the kit minimal with a D610, 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8 and a 50 1.4.
