On my first day in Halifax, I did a shoot for Veronica MacIsaac’s new bamboo knitwear line of clothing. She was headlining at Atlantic Fashion Week and multi-tasked her week with photo shoots, finishing her line, and doing interviews. Her parents, Rosemary and Mac, own and operate MacIsaac Kiltmakers in St. Peter’s, where Veronica learned her sewing skills, and since then, she has taken her talents and designed her own line of fresh and fabulous ways to wear tartan. Highland dancer Sarah McKenna and drummer Matt Carter were models on the day for the Fall/Winter 2009 Knitwear Line and we ended up using her back step and a neighbour’s veranda for the two different looks.

Carinna and Ivo were married on September 6th at Providence Farm in Duncan. Ivo’s family and friends traveled from Amsterdam, while Carinna’s family came from Toronto and both families provided sing-a-long entertainment during the reception. Everyone partied and danced as the rain poured down, quite typical of a West Coast September day.

Jennifer and Jeremy were married at Fort Rodd Hill on August 1st. It was a hot day for an outdoor ceremony, but Jennifer (being super organized) kept everyone cool with the rice paper parasols she provided for all the guests. After their ceremony, we took photographs around all of the gorgeous buildings at Fort Rodd Hill. We ended up with time to spare before their grand entrance so en route to the reception, we stopped at the Four Mile Pub for a cold beverage where Jennifer and Jeremy had a chance to chill out and enjoy the company and comedy of their bridal party. Their beautiful reception was at the Chief and Petty Officers’ Mess in Esquimalt and a full night of dancing followed. Congratulations!
