|Back to topSo 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

Lois & Dave – Congratulations!!! What a gorgeous couple you make. Your photos are amazing – I have always loved that beach & lodge and what a great location for an elopement! Lois – you could be a fashion model – the photo of you in the lodge with your gown and flip flops is priceless – you’re so beautiful!! You both look so classy.
Love and big hugs,
Eleanor

BUT … I’m so happy for you! And … the pics are fabulous. You look absolutely radiant, beautiful … and oh, so classic (in spite of the flip flops). Best wishes to you and Dave … forever!!

Congrats. Beautiful pictures and thanks for sharing them. Was reminded of my wedding – we waited 8 years to have kids but not to get married!
Best wishes.

Phew, actually had almost 850 votes when they were all added up. Some very strategic voting going on, being careful not to break my 10 votes/IP address rule
Still had to drop a few votes though, but it wouldn’t have made any difference.
This contest came down to 2 images…..#2 : Danielle & Chris, and #9 : Leah and Ben.
And it was close in the end.
This winner had 272 allowable votes., and the runner up had 210 allowable votes.
So the winner is……..
…….# 9 ! Leah and Ben, with their moonlight smooch in front of St Ann’s Academy in Victoria.
Congrats to Leah and Ben, and I’ll be contacting them to choose their canvas print.
