I love Victoria’s Chinatown. The vibrance, colour, hustle and bustle, and history are just a few of the reasons why. This spot of town became every more special to me this past summer as it was the location Darren and I had our formal wedding portraits taken by the fabulously talented Michelle Loewen and Rebecca Wellman.
Since leaving my other job I have basked in the wonderful luxury of having some ‘free time’. Before my photography business took off I used to spend hours and hours wandering around parks, beaches, trails, and downtown – more specifically Chinatown, taking photos just for me. Just for fun. I didn’t realize how much I had missed that part of my life. How much I gain from having time just for me to create, explore and play with no rules, limits or judgement. During Chinese New Year Chinatown comes alive more than ever. I went there during one of the gorgeous sunny days we’ve been having to snap away. Just for me. Just for fun.

Love the composition of these! This style really gives you a change to be artistic.
Superb, Kim. It’s such a nice feeling shooting for yourself from time to time isn’t it. The third is my favourite, and I love your perspective on all of these really. It’s cool to see more of your… style translated into this type of photography from wedding work!
