local business: duft & co bakehouse

cassie and tyler had a dream. isn’t that usually how it starts? thing is, for lots of people, that’s also where it ends. what i love about their story is that they refused to let their dream die. luckily (for us and them), these two opened up the greatest little bakery you ever did see earlier this year and they are killing it. cassie is a classically trained pastry chef and she’s bringing my appreciation of the carb to a new level. pain au chocolat…be still my heart. i had the pleasure of documenting the creation and delivery of some of their most beloved products – if you live in/are visiting the fraser valley, you must check out their delightful shop in downtown abbotsford. i am not exaggerating when i say they are an answer to my prayers.
if you’re a small business and are interested in having me document your process/product, shoot me an email! sharalee@sharaleeprangphotography.com

joanne & theo: married!!!
Monday, September 19th, 2011
first of all, i just have to say what an honor it was to even be considered, let alone invited to photograph theo and joanne on their wedding day.
reason #1: they are dear friends of ours.
reason #2: they are both artists (joanne is actually an amazing photographer and has taken tons of beautiful pictures of my family).
reason #3 (and probably the most important): they are hot. super hot. they were already hot on their own, but together, the hotness quotient went up significantly. and there’s something about a betrothed couple that makes them even hotter to the rest of the world, so let’s just say that the hotness ante was through the roof.
all that to say, i was kind of blown away when they wanted me. and the extra bonus was that i actually got to enjoy the ceremony and reception…they had another photographer come for that!! so i got what i consider one of the most fun parts of the day: the bride getting ready and the pictures of the couple.
speaking of hot, check out this super hot mama: joanne’s best friend karla. she is an incredible musician (she wrote a song for joanne and theo’s ceremony) and has a beautifully generous heart. love his woman.
and so, i left joanne waiting in the gazebo and went to meet her groom.
these pictures of theo are some of my favorites of a groom. he was so relaxed…we chatted about his morning while he fixed his cufflinks. and there didn’t seem to be any nerves. which is rare. and i think a really good sign that he knew this was right. that SHE was right. and i love that.
it was so gorgeous outside, but we snuck in the back door of hemingway’s book store for a little change of pace and a little respite from the heat (i’ll let you guess which section we landed in :).
and like that they were off. to be wed! theo & joanne: i wish you so much more than happiness. at the risk of sounding like whitney houston, i wish you joy. and love. and life. FULL life. thank you again.
