Club Kwench – An evening with The Jealous Curator

Tessa McLoughlin is a local hero of mine. She possesses not only exceptional vision in regards to arts and community but also the follow through to turn that vision into reality. Last night’s inaugural Club Kwench dinner was a prime example. Club Kwench grew out of Tessa’s belief that happiness comes from many angles and that it is not readymade. “It comes from your own actions. Kwench makes those actions easier by providing you with experiences that encourage and cultivate connection, curiosity, and cooperation.”

Last night was a brilliant evening of connection, inspiration, laughter, nourishment, and creativity, which all led to a house full to the brim with happiness. The brilliant and witty Jealous Curator came to speak, we dined on Alison Bigg’s delicious curry and Kid Sister’s popsicles, and laughed until our bellies hurt. I can’t wait for the next Kwench event.

    I met up with Stephanie & Blake at the Roundhouse a couple weeks ago for a wedding portrait session. It was evident right away that in marrying each other, they were marrying their best friend. Their serenity in each other’s company made photographing them a treat. Here’s to a lifetime of love and memories.

    Rifflandia has done it once again 😉 What an incredible week of awesome shows. I am continually blown away by what a brilliant idea this festival is. 150 some bands, four nights, and one wristband. All for the love of music. Thanks to the organizers for masterminding this extravaganza. This year, I was asked to put together a crew of official photographers so that there would be a photographer stationed at each of the 10 venues every night. I couldn’t of asked for a better team. You can check out everyone’s photos in the gallery on the Rifflandia site here….

  • Eric & Melissa – Wedding Photo Gallery – Keri Coles Photography – Victoria, BC

    Eric and Melissa got married at the stunning Bear Mountain Resort. Getting married on a golf course held extra significance for the couple as Eric is a pro golfer and the two met on a golf course 😉 The day went smooth as silk with tons of laughter and joy. They definitely win the best reception of the year award. Eric, Melissa and their wedding party surprised their guests with an AWESOME choreographed dance number. Eric also did some pretty impressive renditions of the worm and the robot. The love in the room was huge and beautiful. The cherry on…

  • Ani Difranco

    Ani Difranco came to town and played a fantastic show on Wednesday. She is such a brilliant musician, but more than that, she is a brilliant woman. I’ve listened to her music for close to a decade now and she always manages to stay relevant. She’s a strong social and political activist who is not afraid to step out of the crowd to stand up for what she believes in. My only complaint about the show was that because it was at the Royal Theatre everyone was seated and unable to dance. Ani is a high-energy, passionate performer and it…

  • The exceedingly lovely Violet

    When I arrived at this shoot I was feeling ill and little Violet had skipped her nap so there was concern that things may not run very smoothly. In the end, we both made it through and I am in love with the images that Violet created 😉 She was not her usual smiley self but she was content so the images that resulted have a neat introspective feel to them. Thank you once again, Violet, for making my day brighter. She has a habit of doing that. You can check out another day she made my day brighter here….
