We visited Butchart Gardens recently and were blown away with how beautifully everything was laid out. It's like a photographers dream location.

We captured a bunch of photos and edited them in a dark & moody format to reflect the last 6 months of our lives. 

Spring is around the corner, so are vaccines, so we're excited that the beauty of the world will return. 

Time is Precious. 

Many photographers like myself are being impacted by #COVID19. Cancelled bookings, loss of clients, isolation, distancing... it's a tough time for all of us. 

Decided to spend some time going through my archives and found this shot, taken from Gastown in Vancouver, BC. 

As scary as this time is, I'm grateful for the time I'm now able to spend with my girlfriend and two dogs. I'm grateful for the time I get to spend talking to my parents on Facetime. I'm grateful for the time to rethink, re-evaluate and reprioritize my life. 🙏

I took this shot during a recent trip to New York. The city got hit with a pretty decent storm, and we were stuck inside our hotel waiting for it to blow over. The colors from the sunset were unreal… so despite not having my DSLR (still kicking myself), I was able to grab this shot with my trusty iPhone 6S.
