Shari + Mike Photographers

Hello from Mexico.

We are currently in beautiful Mexico getting ready to photograph Paige and Brents wedding. It’s going to be an amazing day celebrating with Paige and Brent and their closest friends and family. Thankful for good weather + the most beautiful couple to photograph! I have shot a few destination weddings but this is our first time shooting one together. That makes me very happy :)

Before the wedding starts, we wanted to share a recent engagement session we did with Patricia + Victor. We loved getting to photograph these two in their home. It was a beautiful space, with amazing views of the city, and furniture to die for. Victor owns a store that sells mid century furniture so I knew their space would be straight out of a magazine…and it was! Thanks Patricia + Victor for having us in your home. It was a dream to photograph in!

Part Two of their engagement session is coming soon!

So it happened. I officially turned the big 30. As I sat on my bed last night and watched the clock enter into a new day, not gonna lie, I had a moment of panic…Oh my goodness I’m thirty. It is hard for me to imagine that my twenties can be topped but I am a big believer that our greatest days are always in front of us, not behind us. In my twenties, I graduated from college, met + married the love of my life, traveled to many parts of the world, started a business, moved to Vancouver, became an auntie 5 times, and met some amazing people that are still my dearest friends. So if my greatest days are yet to come, I cannot wait to see what the thirties have in store for me. Bring it on.

For the past three weeks, we have been traveling around the beautiful country of Vietnam. My heart is full. It was an unforgettable trip and we have so much to tell you + to show you but we have many emails to return and our first wedding of the season to prepare for. So for now, we will leave you with a few images from our trip. Believe me, there are sooo many more to come :)

We got home yesterday from a week vacation traveling from Palm Springs to Vegas. Although I would not want to live there I do really love the desert. It is so different from Vancouver and in its own way is so incredibly beautiful. We drove through Death Valley, stayed at the Ace Hotel, visited an old mining town with donkey’s roaming the streets, drove along route 66, almost ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere, and did a photoshoot in Joshua Tree. I also got to spend time with my family in Vegas, which was so much fun. It was a whirlwind of a trip but loved every minute of it.

I am really excited to share with you the shoot we did with our friends Hanne + Sierra in Joshua Tree National Park but the best I can do for now is a sneak peek :)

We will be out of the office until the 5th of March on a little vacation to Palm Springs + Vegas to celebrate my beautiful mama who is turning 60 this year. Mike and I arrived in Vegas yesterday and met up with my parents and drove to Palm Springs to take in the sun, visit my great aunt + uncle who live there, and enjoy some poolside at the amazing Ace Hotel. Our first stay at the Ace happened during our California roadtrip last May and it was one of our favorite stops. We are excited to be back! My sisters will join us in Vegas for a girls weekend in the city of lights to celebrate my mom’s birthday. I think this might be the first trip we have done without the men + all the kids…it should be a lot of fun! Not sure what kind of trouble my dad + Mike will get into without us but there has been a lot of talk lately about driving a Nascar. Boys will be boys.
Have a great week + enjoy some photos from our last trip to Palm Springs!
