    I do my best to keep it upto date during the busy wedding season, which is about 50 weddings a year for me!

    I photograph at many wonderful Vancouver Island wedding venues, and even the odd Mainland wedding if I really like the clients ;-)

A LEAP day wedding! Lois and David, Long Beach Lodge Tofino

So yesterday was a busy day for weddings in Tofino apparently, due to the special date. Lois and David took advantage of this 1 in 4 year date to elope in Tofino and say their wedding vows on the beach by the Lodge. The weather wasn’t that kind to us, but it didn’t stop the happy couple getting a bit wet.

Comments most welcome below. And you can see other weddings I’ve shot at the Lodge here
