The Four Seasons, Whistler


This past weekend Anita & Gilbert said their vows at the new Four Seasons Resort in Whistler. It is not only a gorgeous hotel with refined detail and a well-kept garden courtyard, but the service was impeccable! They cleaned Anita's dress and got all the excess wrinkles out the night before and even repaired her veil when her fiance accidentally stepped on it the day of the wedding!
Litsa, the coordinator, made sure every moment of the day went smoothly and that all the pieces came together flawlessly. For anyone considering Whistler as their wedding destination, I highly recommend contacting the Four Seasons!
Anita & Gilbert were so happy and content... and it shows in their imagery. We were able to take advantage of the grounds as well as the trails across the road (for a little added 'wilderness' setting to offset the luxurious setting of the resort).

BC Children's Hospital


BC Children's Hospital is a place very close to my heart. Every year the hospital receives up to 80,000 little patients who need care, as well as a place to feel safe while away from home. I can't imagine what it would be like for a child to be placed in a cold, unfamiliar room surrounded by, or hooked up to scary-looking machines. Or a parent watching their child endure such sadness, fear and unpleasantness. BC Children's Hospital Foundation ensures that each child is given the best possible care - including a place where they can play, learn, laugh and grow - through fundraising and donations.
I was very fortunate last weekend to be able to donate my time at the annual BC Children's Hospital Telethon hosted by Global TV (June 2 & 3). They raised $14,688,536 during the 20th annual Miracle Weekend! This is just one of the ways I have given to BC Children's Hospital. For every child or family portrait session, I donate 10% of my profit to the Foundation. If you would like to help, please visit www.bcchf.ca. Check out all the great things they do!
