Noah and I had the privelge of MC’ing the wedding of Jenna & Brandon McKay. It was an elegant affair, full of good friends, spontaneous musical numbers, all things recycled, homemade potterey, old wooden clothes pins, cabbage bouquets, corn on the cob, lots of pie and lots of LOVE.
Noah and I each have a superpower. His superpower is writing Haiku’s. Mine is parallel parking. His superpower was very useful as we MC’d.. Mine was not. :)
Enjoy and celebrate with us, the LOVE of Jenna, Brandon and all who came to bless them on their special day.
Enjoy each moment captured in picture.. And Haiku.
All Haiku’s by Noah Brunn.
Oh slow Highway One
You make this nearby garden
A destination wedding
Brendan and Jenna
After today, those two names
Have a ring to them
Great honored couple
Fill us with celebration
And wedding meat sweats
Capacity reached
No room at the inn for you
Lonely dinner roll
One of these great lines
Is from another Haiku
I won’t say which one
Stomach a flutter
Huge buffet then dancing
Tummy like bingo balls
She’s ready for a kiss
And licks her icing covered lips
Now that’s baited breath
Rasberry radius
Pastry circumference
Pie r ready
Lower the lights
The orchestra is done tuning
Bedroom symphony
Hold your hand skyward
Patience for your true virtue
Black bird fly to me
Parents of the pair
New families swap old stories
Laughter dowry
Sarry eyed lovers
Hold hands with matching freckles
New consellation
Scented daytime soaps
Warm showers at odd hours
Where did the day go
Roll down the windows
Wind blows open the roadmap
And reveals new paths

How can I resist the request for a new Facebook profile picture? Especially when this fuzzy hat is involved. Carl looks quite splendid in the Calgary sun, if I do say so myself. :)

Early one Sunday morning in September, was riding the skytrain and wandering a park in Coquitlam. Something about the dew, and leaves and golden letters made me want to bring out my camera!

Noah and I spent a fabulous weekend in Seattle. Sipping chocolate from Chocolate Box, my lovely cousins Mandy, Arden and Charlie, a great little suite from a local through airbnb and a George Nelson exibit at the Bellevue Arts Museum.
I can’t wait to go back. :)

I have a new roommate, and she is going to The Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts..for baking! Oh my stars. It’s only her 3rd day, and already our house is full of bread buns, chocolate chip cookies, rice crispy’s, hay stack cookies, and who knows what other delish morsel will come through our door next! There goes my diet. :)
She walked in with these buns after her first day of school, and I just had to take a few pictures. To see her other work and transition to the metropolis of Vancouver, you can check out her blog, Sweet Moments.

Stephanie & John are getting married in 10 sleeps! A year ago, I was able to shoot their love, and capture a few precious moments with Nathan in a little park, under a tree, in Calgary.
I can’t wait for your big day Stephanie & John! To start us off on this blog posting…a poem by another John written just over 400 years ago. May your love be without reason and I hope you dote on each other ever.
Love not me for comely grace …
By John Wilbye
Love not me for comely grace,
For my pleasing eye or face;
Nor for any outward part,
No, nor for my constant heart:
For those may fail or turn to ill,
So thou and I shall sever.
Keep therefore a true woman’s eye,
And love me still, but know not why;
So hast thou the same reason still
To doat upon me ever.
Up first, Nathan and his daddy.

A spontaneous Labour Day garden party was a perfect way to eat ice cream, bring together friends and share toppings! Island Farms Vanilla and Moose Tracks. Oh my stars.
The rules..
Bring $2 to pitch in for ice cream. The ice cream was destined for a wedding.. But forgotten! So we thought we’d help out the honeymooning couple by eating some.. And giving them toonies in exchange!
Wear white! Apparently that is the traditional Labour Day thing. No more white shorts in the fall season!
Bring a topping.. Baileys, fresh strawberry jam, mint and blueberries picked for the event, peaches, plums, chocolate sauce, blackberry liqueur, sprinkles and cranberries!
Warning: You may need crave ice creamy goodness after checking out this post. Enjoy!
I believe that below is the universal symbol for, “This is my 3rd ice cream sundae today!”. Good work Noah.

A little red barn, a couple of GORGEOUS dresses and we are ready to shoot! Amber looked too amazing, and the shade of this barn on a hot day made this photo shoot just right.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!

Andrew’s headshots in gastown. A great sport, and very fun to put together. Andrew is a fantastic Job Developer in the inner city and one of the best feminists I know.
