We've been spending a lot of time in Point Defiance Park lately! Followers of the Wallflower blog have seen a lot of photos taken at Pt. D. in recent postings. Time for a change-of-pace posting! Having grown up in Oregon (Scott) and Colorado/Northern California (Laura), our idea of natural beauty is more mountains and forests than tropical beaches. So it's no surprise that after our wedding in September 2002, we chose to honeymoon in the Canadian Rockies instead of Cancun. It was an amazing trip and we've always wanted to return, but the summer season is short there, and because we're always so busy during the summers, we were never able to schedule a second visit.
Then, last year, the perfect opportunity presented itself: we were hired to photograph a wedding in Banff, a small tourist town in the center of the Canadian Rockies! The wedding itself was cancelled, but by that point we were already committed to the trip. We had a wonderful time, and we got amazing photos — which we had to ignore for months while we took care of our wedding and portrait clients.
Recently, we've found time to identify the cream of the crop. Several highlights are below, but these are only appetizers — our favorite 33 images from the trip make up a must-see new gallery on the Fine Art division of our website. Enter the Landscapes section, click Canadian Rockies and enjoy!
