Love these…and want them here…
A few more of Micayla and Dan’s super laughable, fun engagement session. xo
J and S – Engaged! | Victoria BC Wedding Photographer
Welcome to the West Coast. It’s a good thing that J and S appreciate that we get rain. Regularly. They are campers and hikers and this, thankfully, didn’t scare them away. So, shoot in the rain it was.
We had sweet Emma with us as well, along with her pink Fisher Price camera and her contagious smile. There was an obvious adoration between the three of them. A fun, playful, genuine want-to-be-together kind of connection.
So, thanks guys, for wearing the Gortex! I am so looking forward to your wedding that is coming up in July! (where we’ll hope for sunshine of course.) ;)

Micayla and Dan – Engaged! | Victoria BC Wedding Photographer
I have met with Micayla and Dan a few times now, and have learned a few things about them. Namely, that they’re classy, talented and super fun. A good portion of the engagement session was full of big laughs and these two were great sports. As I was going through the engagement images choosing some for the blog, I found myself smiling and laughing at the craziness of some of them. They had me laughing out loud! It’s always interesting to figure out what it takes to bring out a smile in someone and I will never forget Dan’s ‘queue’ word…the one that makes him giggle…that I can’t repeat here. ;)
Dan is a chef (one of my favorite types of people!) who is starting on a wonderful reputation in town. Together they are in the process of building a site that will showcase Dan’s uber-talents. I will share this with you when it’s ready…
Micayla and Dan – I had a wonderful time with you two and I am very much looking forward to your wedding this September!
Enjoy your sneak peek. xo
Sheri and Gary – Engaged! | Victoria BC Wedding Photographer
Sheri and Gary have little time together these days. Gary works out of the country, and hasn’t been back to Canada for many months! So, during his short visit, we got together for a fun and lovely engagement session. This was my first time meeting these two and while they claimed frazzled nerves, they were both wonderful in front of the camera. As usual, I could easily have kept shooting and shooting!
Congratulations you guys on your destination wedding next year. You were a true pleasure to photograph!

2009 – Reflections
I know I’m a bit late in this review, but better late than never, right? It’s been busy I guess, and that’s a good thing.
Speaking of busy, 2009 was crazy. Too crazy. And while it was Ruby joon’s premiere year, and starting a business is crazy-making for sure, it is my vow this year to get a better sense of balance – of mixing life with business to a point where I’m not spending so much time in front of the computer, but getting out and doing more of the things I love. Hiking, visiting with friends, going on weekend retreats, spending time with family, exploring the island, taking classes (rowing!) and spending more time in the garden, which was sorely neglected last year.
2009 brought beginnings and endings, sad surprises and lovely surprises. Reconnections and disconnections. Kind of sounds like life, huh? I believe that part of our paths are set out for us. We have such a say in how we handle that rollout, though. In our attitudes and our actions. And it can be a challenge at times. But we learn, and we move on and that is what life is all about. These are the things I think about when reflecting on time passed.
To recap 2009 in photos brings you all sorts – while Michelle and I did commercial work at the beginning, I have decided that commercial work stays with my own name over at www.rwellmanphotography.com. Ruby joon will concentrate on weddings, couples and specialty fashion portraiture. Family stuff can also be found at www.rwellmanphotography.com/blog.
So, enjoy! This is a conglomeration of wedding and engagement photography. In random order; just some of my favorites.
Be sure to stick around …. lots of stuff happening in 2010, too!
