Back in 2002 I met this amazing woman. She was full of energy, a bright spirit, and she was a total hottie
. We met at a photography gallery where we both had images featured in a photography exhibit, and we met at the reception for all the artists. Looking back, I remember how completely chance it was that I even brought in an image to consider being shown at that gallery. I had my sights set on a couple asian restaurants to display some of my images from Thailand. On a whim, I passed that gallery, and thought “what the hell, I’ll see if they’re accepting images”.
Long story short: my image was accepted, I attended the reception, and it was there I met Lynn….I met my wife, the love of my life, the mother of our amazing son, my creative partner, and the most compassionate person I know who always has a smile for anyone who will soak one in. That meeting still seems like it happened yesterday, and the flash of time that is 7 years from then to now is filled with so much great stuff I can barely wrap my mind around it. The best of it has been the past 3 years that we’ve been married, and last Thursday we celebrated our anniversary by heading up to the Fraser Valley where we got married, going for a great hike above the trees, and kicking it in a cozy cabin for the night. Add to that some hot tubbbing and an amazing steak dinner cooked on the grill outside with a great bottle of italian Brunello, and that’s celebrating.
Lynn, words can’t describe how truly awesome it is that we get to do all of this together for so many years to come…here’s looking forward to photographing with you the wedding days of so many other great couples who are starting their lives together, and photographing the many great moments of ours! I love you Lynn, Happy Anniversary! ~Dave
Here’s some images from our trip, and an ever so small collection of some of my favorites images of Lynn.
