DearOne Photography: On Haweater Weekend, a world away

A year ago these amazing people (I'm sure you're pretty familiar with their faces by now!) came to visit us in my favourite home. Sometimes the twelve hour difference is bigger than we think. While we miss our friends and our families back home, we also miss some of favourite places that are just as familiar to us as our loved ones' faces. To us, they're almost like another friend.

Even though I had to work, we managed to squeeze in as much time as possible together- hiking, eating (EVERY meal was a smorgasbord- we just threw everything we had on the table and ate what we wanted. Honestly, probably the funnest meals I've ever eaten!!), touring some of our favourite spots on the Island and taking in the annual Haweater fireworks. Plus, we got to sneak in a sweet couples's shoot! There are few things more fun that watching your best friends goof off with each other and being able to photograph that much love for them (and, in some cases, encourage or suggest some of the shenanigans!)

Now, one year later they're just over a month away from meeting their new baby!!

(Rather than separating our couple's shoot (because we shot at a few different locations) from our 'fun' photos I've left them together because it tells a better story!!)
