I had the pleasure of photographing a group of adorable children the other day as a thank you to their childcare provider who is moving on to another adventure.

Lynne and Brendan had a romantic evening wedding at Hatley Castle. There is something so timeless and magical about getting married in a castle! The day was full of laughter and good tears. All the best, L&B and thanks for having us a part of your wedding day!

Fibre Fest – Victoria, BC – Keri Coles Photography

As some of you know, I have happened into a whole bunch of yarn. By bunch, I mean POUNDS. It all began innocently enough when I made a cowl last winter. I loved making it and it was something that I could do while hanging out with my wee one (like many, the moment I became a mom I developed a compulsion to multitask). People kept making comments about how much they loved the cowls so I starting thinking about selling them. I wasn’t super happy with the yarn I was finding around town so I jumped at the chance to buy some Fair Trade yarn at wholesale from a friend that just got back from Uruguay (enter first 20 pounds). The yarn is from Manos del Uruguay and is luscious and beautiful. I made a couple of cowls from the yarn and, while they were gorgeous, they didn’t have the exact look I was going for. I was looking for a chunkier wool. So in typical Keri fashion, I dove in. I tracked down some alpacas, went to shearing day (photos to come in another post), loaded up on fibre, and took it over to the Gulf Islands’ Spinning Mill so they could spin it into exactly what I wanted. Some people may say I have a problem ;)

So now I have copious amounts of both Manos del Uruguay yarn and the fabulous Salt Spring softspun yarn. I am cowling to my heart’s content. I went to the Victoria Fibre Fest recently and had a table set up to sell some of my extra yarn. The last few photos in the gallery below (starting at the wooden buttons) are what I had for sale at the event. It was a great day full of fibery goodness.

We had a great time shooting Lisa and Nathan’s Engagement session and getting to know them better. They came up from the States for the shoot as they are having a destination wedding here in September. We look forward to capturing their big day! Again, I would like to thank Victoria’s beauty for making my location scouting job easy peasy ;)

I went down and photographed Jon & Roy’s CD Release Party show for their new album “Homes“. The MacPherson Playhouse was packed and the show rocked the house. Everyone was on their feet at the end of the show begging for more. Vince Vaccaro and Mother Mother opened for Jon & Roy. I gotta say…those three bands in one show make Keri a very happy girl ;)

Tracy & Jonathon’s wedding was a stunning event held at the Olympic View Golf Course. The course gave the gift of incredible backdrops and we zipped down to Whitty’s Lagoon to get some ocean shots as well. Tracy and Jonathon are just a dream to work with and they have raised one of the most amazing young ladies I have ever met. Thanks so much for welcoming us into your wedding day T & J!

I had a great time shooting Lynne and Brendan’s engagement photos. They are such a blast to work with. I’m REALLY excited about shooting their big day coming up at the end of May at Hatley Castle. The castle and grounds are my favorite location to shoot at and with folks as fabulous as these it is sure to be one to remember!

Definition of Adorable: Abdu

How is this much cuteness even possible? Abdu totally stole my heart. We had a fantastic shoot at Cordova Bay Beach. Lots of fun was had by all. This family has an ease and grace about them that is so inspirational. They were oozing with love and respect for each other. It was a privilege to spend the afternoon with them.

A lovely, lovely family.

This family was such a joy to shoot. I adore it when love transfers so well onto “film”. The boys were so sweet and full of life! Check out this precious love:

These two are running away to Hawaii to get married, but we had a chance to shoot a fun engagement session before they go :)

And the joy of a little spontaneous steam roller action…
