Portrait - Actor Series for Ian Fisher



Ian Fisher is off to Toronto next week. He is pursuing an acting career and plans to explore opportunities for roles in film and for TV. Last week we met to complete a series of actor portraits for his portfolio. I wish you the best of luck Ian. It's been a treat watching you grow into a very talented actor over the years. And I hope you remember my commission rate when you land your first 20 million dollar movie.


To view the series, please link to Ian's Gallery on my SmugMug site.

Wedding Photography - Summer Weddings



I am pleased to announce that we will be covering weddings on July 17, August 1st, August 29th, August 15th and on September 7th this summer.

On July 17th Kim and Ben's wedding will be held at the Mackie House in Vernon. This is beautiful location on the shore of Kalamalka Lake and the setting could not be better for a wedding. We met Kim and Ben over the Christmas holiday and look forward to meeting them again in July to make final plans for the day.

August 1st I will be in Kelowna for Jenny and Brandon's Wedding. I met Jenny and Brandon last weekend in Kelowna where we had fun capturing engagement photos. You can see the photos here.

August 15th we will be back at O'Keefe Ranch near Vernon for Katherine and Chett's Wedding.

August 29th is the big day for Gillian and Justin. The wedding will take place at Gillian's parents home in Armstrong. It was a pleasure to meet Gillian and Justin around Easter. Before long we will make the short trip to Armstrong and have a visit with Gillian's parents so we can see the cozy venue.

On September 7th Angela and Mark's wedding will take place at the Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna. With a fantastic view of the vineyard and Okanagan Lake this will be spectacular. We are looking forward to meeting Angela, Mark and their son Finegan later this summer.

Neil Young Concert in Kelowna


It was a huge treat to witness one of Canada's greatest rock legends last night. Neil Young is currently touring through Canada and lucky for us he made a stop in Kelowna. I was at the concert with a good group of friends which made it even more enjoyable. I would certainly characterize myself as a Neil Young fan but I still do not master his huge library of songs, now spanning about five decades. Going into to last nights show I was thinking that I would have a hard time stomaching some of his louder stuff by it was quite the contrary. This guy really knows how to rock and witnessing it live was amazing. Neil Young pulls out is arsenal of guitars, from old beat up Gibson Les Pauls to the gorgeous Gretsch and Old Martin acoustic he bought from Hank Williams. Nice stuff when you enjoy great guitars.





The set list had plenty of variety. Some well know classics such as Cinnamon Girl and Cowgirl in The Sand hit the spot with the audience. He did have a nice acoustic section with songs like Four Strong Winds, Unknown Legend, Heart of Gold and of course Old Man with the classic banjo solo performed by Larry Cragg.



Hats off to Neil Young for still doing this stuff at his age and holding up very well for a two hour plus concert. Five stars for this one. A huge thanks to Denise, Lorraine and Rick for helping me with my camera gear last night.

Wicked Weather



It was a beautiful evening here. Or so I thought. In the short time it took to pick up a few groceries the wind had picked up considerably and some awesome cloud formations appeared out of nowhere and faster than you would believe.
