Glenn & Michelle

Last week I photographed Glenn and Michelle at Gwynne Vaughan Park. Glenn and Michelle where having portraits taken to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary. This was my first time photographing at this location and I loved it! The gardens were beautiful and there was a great scene to photograph at every step through the small park. Can't wait to use this location for a portrait session again.

Wayne's Weather Window

The above image was shown on Wayne's Weather Window (Global TV News) on Wednesday July 21st. My aunt had suggested I submit this image to Global News. I sent it in late last night then this afternoon I got an email from Wayne telling me he was going to show it on the news tonight. It was kinda fun seeing my photo posted on the TV! I wonder if my photograph will get chosen as the winner for the week on Friday?

Shelby & Tom Wedding 2010

Last weekend I photographed Shelby and Tom's wedding in Abbotsford. Before we went to the ceremony Shelby and Tom met privately at a friends beautiful farm to have some photos taken. The ceremony was held at Trinity CRC Church and the reception was at the Legacy Hall. I had a great time working with Shelby and Tom and their wedding party. I don't think I have seen a bride quite this excited to be getting married in a long time!

Karen & Blaine

Last weekend I photographed Karen & Blaine's Wedding. The ceremony was held at St. Andrew's United Church in Vancouver. After the ceremony we swung by the Canuck Place for a couple of quick photos as Karen volunteers at the beautiful mansion. Then we made our way over to Queen Elizabeth Park where we did the formals and had the reception at the Season's in the Park restaurant. Loved the venue for the reception! So beautiful with giant windows overlooking the park and the city of vancouver. The food was amazing and the service was superb. I felt lucky to be a part of this special day.

Chilliwack Fire Fighters Calendar 2011

I have been busy working on photographing the Chilliwack Fire Fighters for the second annual calendar. So far I have photographed six of the twelve photo sessions required for the calendar and I have managed to edit three of those sessions. To view all of the images photographed you can visit my website at http://www.kelcophoto.ca and select "clients" to find the gallery. The images you see above are ones that have NOT been selected for the calendar (though the calendar image choice may or may not be similar).

When I photographed the first 2010 calendar one of my favorite sessions was with the ladder truck as I got to go up in the bucket to take the photos. This year (so far) my favorite session has been with the ladder truck again. I thought it was pretty cool because we shut down five corners to take the photos! Ah, the power I can wield! 

Kristin & Kiel's Wedding 2010

Last weekend I photographed Kristin & Kiel's wedding. This wedding was super fun for me as I photographed Kristin's sister's wedding last November. It was great to see all of Kristin's family again. And I must say I quite enjoyed knowing mostly everyone's name, saves on the brain energy of trying to remember names in such a short time frame. 

At both wedding receptions there was a very original and fun method of choosing which table of guests would eat dinner first. With Laura's wedding it was a game of musical chairs. I was expecting the same game again and got a pleasant surprise when they pulled out hoola hoops! It was quite entertaining.
