HAUSE VENUE | Kimberly's Bridal Session

When I was a teenager one of my favorite places to go was Hauschild Music Store. I dreamed of one day owning a shiny, black baby grand piano. I would just spending hours at the store looking at pianos, organs and sheet music. I was often joined by my best friend Debbie and we now talk about those days and laugh about how geeky we were. I also often dragged my parents there to show them the baby grands and tell them how badly I wanted one. They never bought me that but I did get an upright piano and a really cool organ that played different beats & sounds while I played.

Hauschild Music store closed its doors years ago. I always loved that old building in downtown Victoria. So imagine my joy when I learned that we would be shooting Kimberly's bridals in the shiny new party venue in town - Hause Venue!! I went in there before the shoot and my mouth just dropped in awe at how gorgeous the owners have made this old building. There is rich wood everywhere, beautiful stained glass windows and the biggest most gorgeous chandeliers I have ever seen.

Kimberly's photo shoot was awesome. She came out of the dressing room in the most beautiful Maggie Sottero gown that fit her PERFECTLY. She seemed to float in this dress. The lace on the dress was so delicate and beautiful and had a dramatic back. And she looked flawless with her long gorgeous hair and perfect makeup done by Bang Cut Beauty by Celina Lane. Kimberly was so elegant and effortless as she posed in different areas of this beautiful venue. And fun - Kimberly is fun and full of love!

It may sound cheesy to end each blog with this - but I am truly grateful that out of all the photographers she picked me. I am grateful that I got to know her and now call her friend. Thank you Kimberly - your wedding to Richard was perfect and I wish you a lifetime of happiness.
