Vivian’s a friend of mine I had the privilege of knowing for about a year now.  I was her counselor in a youth conference last year and two of the strongest impressions I have of her are her amazing talent for art and, at the time, her love of the movie Nacho Libre.  I can’t tell you how much I’ve laughed last year at the conference because of all of the Nacho Libre quotes I heard. 

Well this year, Vivian asked me to be her wedding photographer!  I was way flattered when she asked me. 

One Saturday, we went off to a park in Surrey to take a few engagements shots for the wedding invitations.  I couldn’t believe how fortunate we were in taking the pictures because the window of time we had to take pictures was the only time it didn’t rain.  Before and after the shoot, the rain was horrendous.  And, I have to say, I love overcast lighting.  The lighting was so awesome that I didn’t have to worry about the light at all.  I could spend all of my focus on composition and on playing with my new lens, the Lensbaby Muse with Double Glass.  It’s an awesome lens for some fun pictures.  I can’t wait to shoot more with it!  It’s a little tricky to focus, especially when you don’t have 20/20 vision.  But, I think I got some good results.

Below are just a few shots that I took.  So, a Lensbaby, overcast weather, and a couple of fabulously good looking people = a good day of shooting.   And, after reviewing my photos a lot….. I think I’m meant to be a b/w photographer.
