Earlier in the winter, I went over to Salt Spring Island on a Sunday (and sunny it was for a change) and found some great images. I was taking photos by the Ruckle Heritage Farm and this gentleman rode by in a fur coat on an e-bike. Never know what to expect but be ready. #saltspringisland

pistils & petals & stamens pistils & petals & stamens, O my! you take my breath away just sitting there all unassuming like until suddenly! a beam of magic late-winter mid-afternoon sunlight bathes and anoints you, almost animating you, making me want to sink deep into your erotic splendour.
Pink freesia flower blossom close-up, showing great detail of stamens and pistils in flower’s centre. All bright with sunlight.

Some images from the beautiful 2024 wedding I captured on Salt Spring Island. You can read all about it on my blog (see the 🔗 to my website on my profile). #saltspringisland #saltspringphotographer #saltspringphotography #2024wedding
Bride about to place wedding ring on grooms finger while he holds his hand on his heart and smiles at her. Wedding arch with greenery can be seen in foreground on the left. Groom is wearing a yellow button up shirt with a blue jacket over top, and blue pants, while bride wears a white dress with off the shoulder lace sleeves. A bride and groom face eachother at a wedding arch in front of the Pacific Ocean on Salt Spring Island, while the officiant faces the camera, reading the vows from a book. The crop of the image makes it so none of the faces are seen. A young boy faces the commissioner between the couple, holding rings that cannot be seen from the view. Boy and groom are dressed in blue, while the bride wears a white lace dress, and the commissioner is wearing a long black and rusty red jacket.Bride dressed in a white lace wedding gown, and groom, dressed in yellow shirt with blue jacket and pants, walk barefoot on the green lawn between two large hedges. The forest of bare tree tops can be seen behind the hedges. The newly married couple looks at eachother in this Salt Spring Island paradise.Pregnant bride and groom stand on the beach on Salt Spring Island, in front of the Salish Sea. Groom is dressed in yellow shirt with blue jacket and pants, bride is in a white lace wedding dress. The wind blows the dress towards the left of the image, while groom holds a hand on bride’s belly and they cast their gaze toward it. Bride holds bouquet of flowers in her left hand, and both are barefoot on the sandy beach.

A two garage building of a fire department housing two fire engines, above which a sign reads "Salt Spring Island Fire Hall #1." There appears to be a string of Christmas lights across it too. There is a clock tower above to the right and the time reads 3pm.

If isolation sounds good to you, a boat-in-only house on your own PNW island beach might be just the thing.... Moody vibes on #SaltspringIsland. #photography #southerngulfislands
Two houses sit low in the photograph, with a sandy beach in front of them. Behind them stretches a green, forest filled mountain with whisps of fog drifting across. The photograph is dark and moody
